If you can't decide if life sucks or not, that just means that you're not smart enough to ponder the nature of your own existence. Dogs can't decide if life sucks for them or not. Humans should be intelligent and be capable of pondering the nature of their world. But they're stupid. You can't come up with a definitive scale 1-10 of how much life sucks for who and for what reasons. Most people cannot definitively say that life is good, or that they feel good most of the time. I mean, you should be able to rate 1-10 how good you feel at any moment, but you can't. If people really understood life, they'd be able to say, "ah that day was a 9 for me" and you'd be hearing things like that all the time. But you don't, people are stupid. They are not capable of pondering their own existence, since they are not capable of deciding if life sucks or not. Let alone proving it. If they could prove it they'd say something like "oh I'd rate my life a 9 out of ten". They can't do a day by day rating or a lifetime rating, or monthly rating or whatever. They only have general opinions of some individual things or events, they can't rate everything exactly or see how everything works together. So as you can see I can easily prove that human's are too stupid to prove that life sucks or doesn't suck, but since they're that dumb, we'll just go with the life sucks argument :).

Clarification

We need to be clear. Since people have little feelings most of the time, and they aren't happy most of the time, and at best they are happy as much as they are sad, then people really are robots. That would explain why everyone doesn't kill themselves since all their lives suck, it's because they don't feel anything to begin with to want to kill themselves. That makes sense. People not feeling also fits in with people being selfish, if someone is selfish, they wouldn't have any feelings, because if they did, they would care about other people, which they don't. Love doesn't need to exist if no one is going to feel it anyway. How many times a day do you "get emotional" probably none. If you aren't being emotional then what are you being? The only thing left is logical. If you're logical then you're being selfish, so the right thing to do then would be best look after yourself. To be more clear, we've established now that the best thing to do is look after yourself, which you do because you're selfish and unfeeling, and experience little emotion. If you had emotion you might care about other people, but you don't. How many times a day do you feel a strong hate or anger or love? None times, that's how many. You might feel slight amounts of that emotion, but if you do it would be for only a very short period of time, during which you probably still have to deal with other people that aren't experiencing those emotions at the same time. Sorry. It could be that there's just so little to do that you can only find things to do which produce emotion a tiny amount of the time, and that in spirit you want to be emotional and happy all the time, but can't. That is just evidence that not only does life suck and people aren't emotional, but you want life to not suck, and are just dealing with being unemotional most of the time so you can live for the brief periods of life which exist in equal amounts of sadness and happiness. Hmmm. That means "life" is really just those brief periods in which you're actually "living". That explains why some people think they are happy, because they are just referring to those periods of time, not the null void of nothingness which exists in between (during which they are sad some of the time at best as least as much as they are happy). Or the sadness doesn't occur in the null void but occurs during the emotional periods, in which case they consider being sad a happy experience solely because it is an emotional one! It's ok because this makes sense, you want to have a balance in life, happy on one end and sad on the other, in the middle a large null void during which you are logical, unfeeling, and only looking after yourself. How can you be happy if you are only experiencing emotion a tiny portion of the time? Take a closer look at your life and when you say "I'm happy" or whatnot. You probably say you're happy because there isn't a word for "I'm unemotional". You're really "logical". So when someone asks you if you are happy just reply (if you're in your best condition that is) "I'm logical". So everyone's just logical, and all their feelings are really just neurons? Where is all the warmth and love? It doesn’t exist. Sorry. How many "warm" feelings can you remember experiencing this past week? Not many. How many "cold" feelings did you have? Probably a lot more. This is the sad truth to reality.
