Yep, SP is in his depressive phase again! Yet again, I'm asking questions about life... And seeing what peoples around think about it. Shouldn't have a hard time getting depressive people arguing with full-of-life ones.
As some of you may know, I don't quite enjoy life to its full potential; I live only for some things I like, though I cannot forget all these friends who betrayed me... Yeah, I know, it shouldn't be a reason... But I just can't think in any other direction. Life is filled with bad things, and I'm starting to doupt any good can balances it out.
I do live in a very decent family, in a perfect economic status, but... I don't know...
Your thinking? (topic is about life in general, I guess, philosophy, at a limit)
Might add other poll options later on, if asked to
I voted
75% good, 25% bad -- I'm trying to put away the bad things.Its a pain sometimes because everyone expects something from you

95% Bad.
Life is filled with many bad things for me, parents that are determined to make my life a living hell, a school system that is so corrupt, the smart people are the ones getting poor grades. Because we get high grades on tests and know everything about the subject, but I refuse to spend all my free time doing homework.
Also ever thought about how humans are supposed to live? We are told to follow a set of rules and guidelines, and expected to follow them. We are forced to go to school. If we are different than others, or better at something than others, we are castaway from society and labeled as "Different". Then after we learn all this knowlage in our life and go through many experiences, and then we die. Then the next group of life replaces the cycle.
But, then sometimes I sit back and think on rare occasions, I don't have things too bad, I have a full stomach everyday and I am still standing. But, sometimes that isn't enough.
Not to rub it in...
100% WOOT ! I love my life exactly how it is.
DT's right. You cannot even follow your own path, at a degree... Everyone as especting everyone around to work and get a nice job, etc...
I just can't stand HAVING to build 95% on the first 18 years of my life... Then, based on how well you performed in your earlier grades, they (the system) give you a job... It just ain't well done at all.
I'd say 50/50. Anybody living with Bush as President can't be more optimistic than that...
I have no problem with lifes problems. I usually forget any bad experances a few days after and only remember whats happening now. So I'm never usually sad.
The life is sh*t, we live for die. But thinking that we are a bunch of atoms that just work... well... the life is meaningless. Is not that I don't want to life, but this world is a sh*t and in this world the life is a sh*t....
heh forget that I was hearing stairway to heaven =P
Too bad Devil inferno isn't here, he'd say life is 250% bad and its all because of school

Well he was still positive about it... He liked something... Thinking about it, it's the same case for me; except I don't live in a sucky country

System say, human do.
Life is all right. Just not recently. I've been sick the whole weekend with God knows what. Saturday I couldn't breathe and was seriously oversalivating. Sunday I couldn't move, had pain, and was sneezing my ass off. Today I sneezed so much I drenched an entire handkerchief. I'm also coughing up tons of crap. I've actually asked aloud why I'm still alive, and nobody seems to care.
Life is usually kickass for me. Just not at the moment.

100% bad -- No real point, I'm living cuz I have to. Period. For me anyway, Life is sucking and im here cos i am.
But life can be good at some times
But we both know these "good" times aren't worth all the suffering happening in counter-part.
You can't have a life without both good and bad times. If you only had good times, how would you know they were good? Plus, if you're feeling really bad, take comfort in the fact that something great had to have happened to you to even allow you to compare it to that sadness. But that's just my opinion.
Wow, I said 50/50 because no one here really truely wants to admit the horrible stuff. I feel my life sucks, but that is only because it is easier for a mind to remember bad things over good. Well, Good luck getting out of this depressive state SP!

Just stare at the face for like five minutes and then you should have simple enjoyments back...like Television! Ahh television, the number one place for depressive people to sit for hours on end...
Actually it's mostly because of school... Which ain't helping, knowing I'm basing my state of mind on something that'll end up in 4 days... 4 days alone that will decide on my entire session... (

asses giving 40%-worth works -_- )
Well, this question all depends on your definintion of the word 'good'.
If I am to say that "life is good" am I saying that the idea of life is actually good, or am I saying that
I think life is good? If I am to say that I think life is good, then it would be impossible for us to argue over this matter because we are only saying what our opinions are.
I can't tell if that made any sense or not...
b.d
Me neither :/
Either ways, it's ALWAYS about opinions. Someone can argue life is THE thing you need to be happy about, others just... don't care at all.
Depends of each experience, too.
Some could just point out that "we should be happy cuz some others have 3847837 less things than you do and still are happy"... Which I don't really care of, at the moment, since this is a discussion about us. (make a topic about it otherwise

)
There are those bad moments in life, but upon review I really enjoyed it...I put 100%; you just got to know where to look for the finer things in life...like pot! lol jk, I don't smoke
50/50
I voted for what it said, but I'd probably be 75.
Even though I'm slightly depressed. Most of the tmie, atleast.
But, hey, I'm alive
I keep thinking, though... why do anything?
What's the point in doing somehting?
Because it, in some way, makes you happy?
Why be happy?
Because it is pleasureable?
What does it matter to experience things that are pleasurable?
And so on...
And, as DT said about us just being atoms and crap... that I've thought about also. I hate my lack of, well, knowing for sure! Knowing anything for sure, or knowing the point in life, or knowing what's so special about the atom setup of our brains.
We don't really KNOW [/i]anything[/i].
We might all be unicorns and dragons floating in crio-stasis cells in some space-ship light-years away from this dreamed thing called "Earth".
Everything that we've learned could just be random chance that just HAPPENS to have repeated itself indefinitely, but it could randomly do the opposite.
I'm ranting about my annoyance with life... O.o
50/50
with a torn realationship with my parents a.k.a divorce it's hard to decide which is more trustworthy. I usually can't trust anyone. There are a lot of bad things happening right now.
And with sex ed going on punks are a living hell. I mean please sex-hungry people? It's not like you know everything in the universe. I can't wait till they're lazy slobs and have no lives.
Also dashrike is corrent optimism is small if Bush is president.
To make a long story short: It half-rocks half-sucks.
75/25
We all have our bad days... and life has been getting better.
