The good life?

A good life is not neccesarily a happy life. Would you
agree with this?

society gives you this skeleton of a life plan. childhood,
college, job, marriage, kids, retirement, death. some people
have a great ride on this train, others don't. it's only a
problem if you hate it, but stay on the train anyways due to
lack of balls/imagination. if you like it and stick with it,
cool. if you don't like it and come up with your own plan,
cool. just don't sit there whining... monoid

First of all, to have a natter we need to know what you mean
by the 'good life'.

You obviously don't know many drug addicts.

By good life i mean following and doing the things which are
important to you. Things and activities that you value and
which aren't neccesarly 'fun' or will make you feel good in
every case.
I know that there are people who use drugs 'to expand their
mind' or whatever. And people who drink recreationally.
Their is nothing 'wrong' with that in my opinion. I am
talking about hardcore drug users...whereas 'drug' could
mean a lot of things, from internet addiction to eating
disorders.

Yep screw that whole default life plan shite. Especially the
bit about having kids. Don't have kids - keep the money and
spend it on yourself, yo.

True Happiness ends up being appreciation and contentment.
The "happiness" that most people seek, is a fleeting emotion
based on immediacy and the unrealistic concept of infinitely
rising pleasure (due to tolerance buildup). True Happiness
does not feel good all the time-- it is more an abstract
sense of knowing one has/is doing well, helping others, and
making the best out of time. We can't always be on
heroin/e-up-the-ass.

So yah- the best lives lived are not necessarily the ones
that are filled with the most endorphinez. However, the
best lived lives were lived by those who had a sense much
higher than can be realized by merely following superficial
pleasures. It takes hard work and incidental
mental/emotional anguish to get to that state-- this pain is
not necessary in and of itself but it is usually a perceived
byproduct and indicator of emotional/spiritual growth.

Overall- in a general sense- "happiness" is overrated, and
"pain" is underrated.

the idea that pain is inherently noble is a load of
horseshit. the idea that your whole life can be a cakewalk
is naive.
