i know that good things exist in the world too. even though i don't enjoy much, i try to appreciate the little things in life. but the small amount of happiness i sometimes feel is outweighed by the evil in this world.

i can't feel at peace when i know there are people out there who are suffering. there are homeless people starving, families being bombed in warzones, children and babies being sex trafficked. why would i want to continue living here when this is what the world is like?

i guess we should be grateful that we are more fortunate then 1 billion people going hungry each day

Ignorance is bliss. And some people prefer to stay willfully ignorant for their own "state of mind". I feel like that's pathetic and disgusting. It's ultimate privilege in the worst way possible.

I guess we all compartmentalise a lot of the time to be able to cope. Not to drag up bittersweet memories but- when you were concentrating on programming, did you let the woes of the world get to you so much? I think some people simply don't have enough time to think. They are too busy working and looking after their families. When they do have spare time, they likely choose not to dwell on things that upset them.

Maybe that's irresponsible but realistically- what can any one person do to solve all the hardships in this world? Beyond trying to do our own bit to help and reduce suffering- eg. doing stuff for charity, becoming vegan, being kind to others. Is it worth worrying about things we can't change at the end of the day?

Maybe you could say it's heartless and irresponsible to be happy in such a world. Still- who's doing more good at the end of the day? Someone who pro-actively tries to reduce suffering but is fairly happy or- someone who does nothing to reduce their own impact on this world and others but feels unhappy?

There has always been evil in this world, its just something we can´t control, some people are just evil and have no consideration for those who suffer from their actions. Some people try to dedicate their life to try and improve the world but unfortunately it isn´t enough to really change much. Evil is just something that humans have to coexist with.

yes the state of the world it's deeply sadding to me i expect much better of the human race but thats just not realistic

there's enough food on the planet to feed everyone yet because of capitalism there's no profit to be made in feeding the hungry, but thats something we could change for the better, but human being are so selfish they only care about their own own personal profit or pleasure.

yes of course trying to help the less fortunate and doing your bits helps out the human race but they are nowhere near enough people who are caring enough to do it i mean you've got billionaires who don't do a thing to help the poor

The world is terrible only for people like you, the rest continue to live and enjoy life. If you mean starving people in Africa, then this is their choice, they could just die or not have children, but for them this is normal. You are talking about a war zone, but why didn't the people who live there commit suicide? All because they have the motivation to endure and beat the enemy so that the suffering ends and normal life returns

only there's a lot of people lile me

Hunger levels are rising around the world. As many as 828 million people – or 10 percent of the world's population – go to bed hungry each night
that almost 1 out of every 8 people go hunger around the world everyday i don't know about you but i hate being hungery

More than 700 000 people die due to suicide every year, 1 out of 20 suicide attempts succeeds, thats 14,000,000 attempts per year, or 1,120,000,000 attempts per 80 years one lifetime, 56,000,000 people would of died via suicide within the average lifetime but over 1 in every 8 of us would of attempted suicide at least once during our lifetime

How much of the population is disabled?
Key facts. An estimated 1.3 billion people experience significant disability. This represents 16% of the world's population, or 1 in 6 of us.

24% of the world's population, which equates to 1.9 billion people, live in fragile contexts, characterized by impoverished conditions and dire circumstances. By 2030, more than half of the world's poor will live in fragile contexts.

And what? People who are starving still continue to give birth to children, and their children also give birth to children and also starve. The more people who have ended their lives ctb, the less suffering there is in this world. You speak for disabled people, but not all of them suffer, many of them continue to live and their lives are more interesting than mine or yours

Most people just don't care to look past their own problems. If they generally have a good life and good health, there's no reason for them to worry about anything else.

I couldn't care less about big world problems when I was happy, dating my ex, going out. I had a life that I enjoyed. That doesn't mean I didn't know about suffering that exists in this world, I just enjoyed what I had in the moment.

I'm assuming most people would be the same.

No, nobody should ever have to be grateful for being burdened with the ability to exist in this hellish reality just because someone else will always be in an even more torturous situation.
To answer the question, if there are people that are, they must be blinded by delusions as this evil, disgusting world could never be a desirable place to exist in, it disturbs me how existing beings have been tormented so senselessly all throughout history.

To me suicide will always feel like the only rational thing to wish for in this existence where there is no limit as to how much one can suffer, existence just causes harm, it would be better if there was never such a thing as existence.

I just don't understand how you can humanely think that some kind of genocide (even if it is mass suicide) would be a great solution for human suffering when it can be solved if richer countries would get their ass out of poorer countries which they are depleting of resources. Nobody should have to starve and there is enough food in the world to feed everybody properly. But the system is just fucked up and that needs to change.

If those people who suffer because of hunger all ctb, then there will be another group who's next. There will always be suffering in some way. And just killing people or having them kill themselves is just an insane idea in my opinion.

Suicide just isn't straightforward for everyone, for me the problem lies in how suicide methods are either inaccessible or risky which is the consequence of existing in this inhumane anti-suicide society.

This is what I've come to. If my happiness has to come at the expense of others, than I don't want it. If I had to watch all the suffering that goes into my life, it would be impossible to feel any other way. So why should I just get to decide I'm not a monster? Why should it literally be as simple as that? Why should I be able to pretend that the one-and-only way to live, is exactly how business daddy says to?

Jfc we get to be convinced we're the good guys when we're colonizing people for h*ckin' funko pops and pokeeman cards. We're h*ckin' gross. We can't even imperialize people for our own benefit. It's all just junkie-stuff for us to willingly choose over our own well-being. I think I've had enough.

Many people do not enjoy living because the world is evil. The rich are probably the least afflicted of all. We are in hell because of wars, civil wars, climate change, pollution and overpopulation. The sea level will rise and coastal cities will be submerged. People will die the heat death. The air will not be breathable. There will be climate refugees. More war refugees will continue emigration. As the population increases, other problems increase. The Earth will become unihabitable.
