Some people say that the meaning of life is happiness, but why to be happy?
People think that life is full of joy and pleasure, is beautiful and is to be enjoyed. Ignorance is bliss - that's all I can say to them. Sensory pleasures are the biggest dellusion for humans. That's why we humans enjoy far more pleasures and sensorial gratification than animals. It is because human beings would understand the futility of life, once they have the intelligence to do so if they hadnt these sensory pleasures to fool them and make they fall in love with life.
Only in the absence of pleasure someone would realize the absurdity of life. A person who thinks that the ultimate goal of life is indulging in sensorial pleasures is an immature fool.
What do humans will do if in the future they live 2000 years and get bored of their pleasures? Do you think they would realize the absurdity of being a sentient being in a meaningless universe? Or do you think they would prefer to relive the same moments of happiness again and again and have their exact memories of same experience erased continually so they never get bored?
If life will lose its meaning when we are get of our pleasures o you think that humans will do if in the future, theythen life is meaningless now, what is happening is that we're just deluded and can not see the truth.
Why are we so deluded by happiness?
