Poll: Poll: Does life suck?

[spartan231490]

Saw a thread that had a lot of people saying that life was a beautiful thing, and a lot of other people who were saying that it really sucks. Some even saying it sucks so bad that it isn't worth experiencing in the first place. This got me to thinking, what does the escapist think about how bad life sucks?

Also, why is life crappy/awesome/so-so?

Personally, I think life is 90% crap by volume, but the other 10% is good enough to make it worth it, most of the time.

I think that people make this life a lot more difficult than it should be. Too caught up in their own little worlds to realize how tiny and insignificant that their problems really are. and then they do the stupidest shit to try and fix their problems, or sometimes even just to make someone else's life as miserable as their's is. I include just about everything from bullying to wars in this.

Also, Life sucks because of all the fucking hoops you have to jump through for this society.

Impossible to say as there is nothing to compare it to

I'm indifferent

 

[GiantRaven]

Compared to the alternative? No, to say the least.

We physically and consciously can't know anything else--you're either living life and suffering (as far as I'm concerned) or you're unconscious and thereby have no means to acquire knowledge of any 'other' state.

I have a good career a fantastic wife and great kids.

My house is nice we have fluffy pets (and a snake which isn't so fluffy) and live very comfortably.

Life is amazing I have zero complaints....... except my neighbour can't sing for shit but she constantly has to try.

My life is cushy, and I like it that way. I live a very easy life, I know it, and I'm not looking for that to change.

 

[Iron Lightning]

Nah, life is much too funny to suck.

 

[Gennadios]

How much life sucks is inversely proportional to how much of one's free time is spent inside their house. +10 points if one is a teenager.

Seriously, it's not that bad. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's miserable, but it only really "sucks" if routine and monotony is allowed to set in.

 

[Jim Grim]

I would never lean too far on either side, it'd be kinda melodramatic. Besides, doesn't it vary depending on your circumstances?

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

well if you live in the right countries it is.

 

[Ultrajoe]

The answer is 'Maybe'.

There isn't any other.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Life is nothing, or rather in the form of an old cliche: life is what you make of it.

Seriously, you're alive and you have the choice to enjoy or not enjoy that fact, in whatever way you desire.

 

[Sacman]

Life sucks, than you die... so there's no point in complaining...

 

[Dyme]

If life wasn't great, I sure as hell would end it.

 

[Dango]

I'd say it's about 85% awesome and 15% suck.

 

[Dragunai]

I'm single, VERY lonely and can't find a proper job. Just got back from a LARP event I was very excited about and was sorely disappointed. So my current high hope is October Expo in London. If that fails I'm going to my bedroom and playing emo songs on my guitar >.>

 

[WouldYouKindly]

The only other option being death and non-existence, life is pretty alright. I mean, without life, you are incapable of even wondering how much life can suck, that's worth something at least. Simply, life is always preferable to death.

 

[SoulSalmon]

You really have to define 'life' for this kina poll.
Yes it' GREAT that I have the capacity for concious thought.
Yes it's great that I have use of my limbs.
Yes it's great that I'm not in poverty and have shelter, food and entertainment.

But I don't have any spare money after bills, a lot of my things are outdated/broken, and my current education is not only teaching me nothing but has terrible hours.
Plus I can hardly move due to this chest pain and it hurts to laugh...

Depending on what in particular you're talking about, life is either going perfectly or really sucks for me right now >.>

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Only if you make it suck, have a crappy outlook and you simply bring everone down.

 

[OpticalJunction]

Life doesn't suck, people suck. BIG difference!
