>Thinking so much about how life is absolute shit, it's like a betrayal of your own being.
Because you yourself are a living being. Your fuckin cells are reproducing right now and whatever. You are growing (fingernails/hooves are growing, etc.). Hair is growing, kinda like how a plant grows. Maybe you are ascending a social ladder or some other people-hierarchy: so growing in that regard. Or just growing older, as if being and old fuck means anything.

So if "life being good" is such a complicated state of mind to achieve and most people don't really think and believe that to be truth enough, then perhaps "life is bad" is the simple answer. Of course life is a mixture of good and bad, but how do you conceive of what's the defining word for it?

It's interesting because saying either
