1.3 Life is tragic  (Page 15/15)

Either mental or physical

Life is empty because it is filled with objects not emotions. When you look around you now you see cold, hard objects. When you touch those objects they are all cold and hard. How many soft warm things are there? Skin isn’t really soft its more rough and callus. So that leaves out animals. Even if you can come up with a good conversation, then you’re just stuck in your head thinking. You’re not out and about, moving around. You’re really alone in your little head. And you don’t move very fast, you’re looking at the world from the perspective of your head, and your body can only move so fast. Even if you’re in a plane or a car or a bike, your body isn’t moving that much. If you’re running you’re focusing on putting in all that effort moving and can’t really look at the scenery. So you can never really feel like you’re moving fast yourself.

Where is the fun in life if you can never move around without being jarred. If your body is being moved instead of you moving like running then you’re not really feeling anything because all the sensations your body has aren’t collecting sensations. Just visual isn’t enough because the world is cold and hard like we went over before. And you can’t get enough physical sensation to please yourself. Mental sensations (like thinking) are limited because they are just thinking. So all we have left to live in life is physical stuff. But you can only move around so fast. Visual can move quickly but when it does it just becomes too complicated. And admit it, most of the time you’re not running around (which would be dizzying if you did) and exercising (which would involve a lot of sweat) so you’re just being cold and unmoving yourself. Humans are just little pathetic creatures that think they are powerful when they are actually weak. All golf players can do with all their strength is put a little tiny ball in a hole. Hockey players can only shoot around a puck smaller than their hand. So clearly all physical activity sucks. And we eliminated mental activity as being bad because it’s too boring. That’s all there is to do in life, either something mental or something physical.

Rejoicing too much in negativity

People like pain too much. They like watching violence, and they laugh at "funny" violent cartoons where the cartoon characters get hurt then spring right back up as if nothing happened. That is more evidence that people enjoy pain. People also like hurting other people, as that causes pain which they can experience. This all contributes the world being sick and life sucking. People enjoy pain as well as pleasure because both in the end boil down to stimulating your neurons, it's a stimulus, and since there is nothing to do in life, some stimulus is better than nothing, even if it happens to be pain. Pain might even be as fun as happy stuff because there is just as much happy stuff as sad stuff in the world, so for you to be happiest you'd have to get half your stimulation from pain and half from pleasure. If you're watching something and it involves pain and pleasure, and a person that enjoys both pain and pleasure is there he will enjoy it more then someone that just experiences pleasure, so that person wins. Evolutionarily we evolved so that we'd enjoy both for that reason. The reason you feel from both pain and pleasure is because of what the things cause you to think about. When you see someone in action that action is fun, but if they suddenly get shot that is fun too, I can prove it's fun because it happens in movies and stuff that people love to watch, so they must like seeing it. It's fun because it causes you to think more deeply about that person and their life, the fact that they had to get shot for you to think more deeply about them is a minor detail, it just means it causes you to think about that person, and how their life is ending. It's still a lot of stimulation so it's actually a lot of fun. Life is incredibly sick. You may not be smiling as it happens (unless you're sadistic or something) but it's still stimulation, which is a relief from boredom, which you are very happy to have.

Sad vs pain

When you're sad it's probably from a lack of stimulus, which would cause your neurons to fire less giving you less pleasure. Pain is fun because it causes you to have a reaction, so it's a stimulus. Too much pain might not be fun however but the right amount could "wake you up" or something, you know what I mean. Sad stuff causes your mind to shut down, and when your mind is shut down it doesn't really have pain from being shut down, so it's possible to be miserable and it not be a good thing like I said how right amounts of pain could be good sometimes, just like right amounts of pleasure can be good as well. This emphasizes the point that sometimes people do have depression, and are in fact actually sad, and their lives miserable. Boredom however isn't going to cause sadness it's going to cause pain, so if an activity is boring you can still do it because you'll still be getting stimulation from it. However that's sick because you are doing something is causing you to feel pain and you enjoy it, so that should be minimized. The more pain you have the more you hate other people and hate life because you're in pain. A healthy amount of pain is ok however because it gives you the right amount of stimulus to give you a healthy edge and keep you alert, but too much will cause you to be a hateful person. Most people are hateful people because of that, they do boring stuff a lot and it causes them to hate the world, and be in pain. In fact, since there isn't enough stuff to do not boring stuff all the time or even a small amount of the time (which we've already concluded) everyone hates the world and is bitter and mean. That makes sense, if most of the stuff you do is boring, it's going to cause you pain which is going to wake you up in terms of stimulus, which would make you not sad and appear to be normal. That is what a normal person is in fact. People aren't smiling all the time. They all have inner pain, which gives them strength. Of course there are some things people enjoy doing, but those things are very few compared to how much gives them pain. This all goes to show just how easily someone can tolerate the idea of pain, so they can give pain to other people very easily and not feel anything because they are driven by it. They even enjoy watching it like violent shows or movies. Fear causes pain as well, that would be the genre "horror". How do I know it causes pain? You can tell because it causes that sharp, fast reaction that wakes up your mind and gets your neurons firing. That's stimulus which comes from pain, and the sickening feeling you get when you see it is the pain itself. So I guess just intense fear like in horror causes pain, and small amounts of fear only cause small amounts of pain. So people actually like to terrify other people and cause them pain, because it will cause their mind to think about those things, waking them up neurologically and giving them stimulus causing them to be happy. Of course, if that kind of fear like in horror movies happened to you it would be too much fear (if you were the person in the movie) but it's the right amount of fear for you to watch a lot of fear in someone else. Because it causes you to think about what is going on, which causes the right about of pain and fear. Like I said before the right amount of pain and fear are good for people, but only in the right amount which usually isn't a lot of pain and fear. That small amount of pain and fear keep you on edge and happy and stimulated. So when you watch that violence and see someone else in pain or fear, you get happy because it causes you to have small amounts of pain or fear yourself (because you have to think about what is going on, causing similar neurons to fire in your mind as the person you are watching, aka empathy). So in other words, people like causing, or watching massive amounts of pain and fear in other people!
