In life, it’s much more easier for everything to be destroyed (sickness, accidents, death, job losses, family losses, & even just one wrong decision can even destroy our lives, etc etc etc), whereas it often takes so much efforts, time, & even hardships to build something. So, it’s clear that sufferings outweigh pleasure.
And plus, just look at our world. Ever heard of the richest 1% control over 99% of world’s resources (& even people around the world)? How is this ever fair, or justifiable? If you think about it, that means most people will just only “living to survive” everyday until they die. What’s so good or beautiful about this?
Sadly, most people in this world just don’t seem to ever think nor realize about all of these. As they said, “Ignorance is bliss”, sadly/unfortunately.

I agree Nikki, there is much more suffering than pleasure in our world.
Sadly, I do not know what can be done , if anything, about this.
Sometimes I’m doing something like eating a sandwich and watching tv or talking to someone or just doing an activity like fishing or something and I’m just like oh yeah now this is what I’m talking about. You’re all worried about big things but it’s the little things that are the best and worth living for. I met this guy who wanted to have servants build a house and have servants grow, process, prepare, and deliver his food and drinks and then he didn’t wanna pay them or help them out in anyway and I was like dude wtf. And he was like what? And I just walked off shaking my head and kept being his servant anyways.
I agree with all 3 points Niki.
-sufferings > pleasure
-1% control 99%, life is definitely unfair
-ignorance is indeed bliss.
The most depressed ppl are the ones who think the most, and are the most aware of what’s going on with the world.
What do we do about it? Sadly, not much. The “easiest” method is to join the blissfully ignorant. That’s how most ppl are, and that’s how they get through life without being super depressed like us.
