Life is programmed to be tragic. Several factors prove it:
- We perceive pain much more than pleasure
-Bad things come for free, while good things you need to work for
-Everything that is good only happened because something bad had to happen first. And the consequences generates more bad things. For example, if you satisfy your hunger, a living being had to die for it, while the remains of ur food will generates organic waste.
-Most often, suffering is not proportional to pleasure. A hungry lion devours a deer, which will suffer excruciating pain while its fur is torn by the lion and its flesh is ripped from its body. The deer's suffering was much greater than the lion's pleasure, which only satisfied his hunger for 1 or 2 days.
-For a living being to exist, it needs to destroy other living beings: animals, viruses, bacteria etc. What we call the food chain. This happens even in our society, where we are unconsciously, stepping on other people to reach the top.
-The only certainty of life is death and suffering.
of course i'm forgetting a lot more, but these are the ones that came to my mind now.
