Are we a background characters?

[inairukab147qwe]

If they have a good health, money, good friends, better parents, good personal relationships, better physical attributes, better genes, if they have better lives and they are enjoying it, then who are we? Some movie extra background characters to those amazing lives? Fuck that kind of director, fuck god, fucking sociopath.

 

[SlackJim]

my belief is that we are all part of the whole, without the dark, how can light exist? without despair, how can joy exist? every part is as important as any other. just my beliefs, I believe God does not exist in the traditional sense, we are all an equal part of god, we are all creators, if life is a tree god is the trunk and we are the leaves

I like to think of people as stamps. If stamps didn't basically look the same, the postal system wouldn't work. In the long run, the misprinted stamps are the most valuable ones, though.

It's all a temporary illusion. People who seem to have it great now may not always have it so.
In their next life they might go through what you're going through now, and by then you might be way better off than them, eg you might have escaped the cycle of rebirth.
So you might in fact be ahead of the game.....
Also many people living a perfect life now are going to lose it all over time since there as so many different human tradegies that can and do strike at any time, so the more people have, the more they may also have to lose, although I'm not saying that applies in every case.

Alternatively, people having a better time now might have been through what you are going through now in their previous birth, and in your next birth you might have it much better....

But ultimately I truly believe that things balance out, but perhaps over a longer time period than our limited minds can understand.....

But of course I get that, for now, it's no fun at all.....

That's an interesting idea, but kind of cruel.

Inspirational, but in reality "the misprinted stamps people" does not have that much of a value. I wish I was a stamp, lol.

I disagree. Almost all great men and women in history have been misfits, one way or another.

You have a point, but almost every misfit person in the world, that we have not heard, has died with suffering or killed themselves. Maybe I'm thinking negatively, but I think it's a harsh reality.

You're right. My point isn't that misfits always are successful, but that they are the most interesting. Normal people are simply boring.

Then I have the best of both worlds...I'm boring and I'm not normal...yay

 

[FreedomInDeath]

I think it is not heathy to compare. Everyone is going to find reasons to compare themselves being better or worse when we are all just human animals, just live the life you have and do as best you can to make a life you want. There is no god or source energy people like to delude themselves with to feel equal, there is no point but human animal competition.

 

[MrOptions]

Welcome to the duality physical plane of existence. You're mileage may vary.

 

[TAW122]

In a sense, I would say yes. Most of the time, we are invisible to others and until we have red flags that show up (signs of contemplating suicide, depression, or whatever society deems inappropriate), then the do-gooders start to get involved. More oftenly than not, most of these do-gooders just want to stroke their ego and look good for their collective peers.

In order for some to prosper, others must suffer. If you are not a wolf then you are a sheep. It's nature. It sucks.

I am a redshirt in a bad series. I am waiting for the powers that be to kill me off in a scene soon.

These two got it. Perfect and well written both of you.

If anything we're the ones with the most character. We stand out while everyone else blends into the crowd.

Einstein,Tesla, more recent kurt & Amy to name just a few "misfits" who changed the world

 

[inairukab147qwe]

I think they make us think that it's not healthy to compare. I mean I'm not asking for Ferrari or something crazy, just basic, normal, human things. You're supposed to start this life from 0, not from -100.

 

[Fragile]

or we are the main characters of a tragedy, written to suffer and to have a bad ending, just born to struggle until we end it ourselves.

 

[AintNoWayOut]

life is a game of probability imo. when you have billions of people, some are bound to have great lives full of joy and blessings, and others are bound to be cursed, enduring lots of pain and suffering with no escape. most people fall somewhere in the middle, but those people are still infinitely better off than i am.

im convinced there is no god. i cant fathom why he'd subject his own creations to such pointless torture, and then send them to a place where they're tortured for eternity just for wanting the pain to stop. that shit is just sadistic to me. in reality, this existence is pure RNG... heaven and hell exist on earth, and people are living in them right now. and personally, im just looking forward to the black void that awaits me after i leave this plane. i'd much rather not exist than lead an existence which is 99% negative while im almost mocked by those around me who get to experience positivity. i need to be freed from this cruel game of luck.

Who are they?

 

[SOL3HIRO]

Life is a heirarchy honestly. Some people are better than others. It depends on your outlook on life and if you compare yourself to others. As a background character, I've given up and I can't keep dealing with all of these main characters.

 

[inairukab147qwe]

Who are they?

People with normal, basic human attributes. I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't hate them, as I said I hate him - "the creator".

 

[Kassender]

I'm like the tutorial character. The guy who's useful up to a certain point, until he turns annoying and you don't ever hear from him ever again.

Or one of the many dead bodies in a resident evil games.
