I've noticed that the more miserable a persons life, the more they hunger for immortality.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 65351022:MV8yODcxNDI0XzUwNTUxNzc3X0E0QjBFNkRB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 69386085:MV8yODcxNDI0XzMwQTAwNjM0] Most of the people I know with happy, pleasant lives don't seem particularly concerned with death or the prospect of nothingness. It is the miserable mutherfuckers who seem to crave more of this "existance" nonsense. Why is that I wonder? [/quote] Sometimes, happy and pleasant life IS A TRAP. It makes people want to live eternally in their pleasant state possibly ignoring the reality of changeable state of being, like getting old and weak. Attachment happy and pleasant state would make people stop progressing and stop seeking more knowledge. But does means all happiness is a trap, some are the fruit of suffering and wisdom. When it's the fruit of wisdom, then there will be no attachment to that state of being. When you're miserable, either self defined or real life caused, it makes you want to either escape from your condition or seek solution to your miserableness. So suffering has it's virtue in forcing people to either escape from it or seek for truth. It makes people climb the mountain instead of stop climbing and staying in the easy living plain. Of course just escaping from pain is not necessarily seeking truth. But by just escaping from pain and not seeking the truth of the cause of pain, people are bound to repeat the suffering. So the suffering is a pressure to people to keep seeking. [/quote]
