youve already made the mistake of thinking anyone cares so maybe you need to alter that to 0/5

there's no absolute reality so it's pointless to measure
i like Schopenhauer though:
life is but “a useless disturbing episode in the blissful repose of nothingness.”

im alright pete, recovering from an infected ear which has left me half deaf. that should pass eventually :)
i agree. i guess the very notion of reality is subjective, so to talk about life in terms of reality is to attempt to objectivity a subjective concept.
ive washed my hands of the whole affair .. we wouldnt worry about such things if someone else hadnt put the buzzword out there.

so essentially you're giving yourself a 1/5 rating. well done. perhaps you should try to put some effort into getting the 5/5 rating? i dunno. sounds rhetorical doesn't it?

I find reality is what you make of it.. Most of what us humans use/do on a day is created by ourselves.
We're slaves to our creations actually. I dunno if a more basic natural life suits us better, but I do know that I can also create a good world in my head around entertainment and interaction.
I think the key is finding happiness in what you have, simple things.
If you think too big you might get disappointed, not that ambition is bad, but it kinda is if you always chase a goal and never appreciate the present.
If you have people around you that you like/love, interests and time to maintain those interests and steady economy, then I think you have a lot going for you to make a good life.

money can quickly change living enviroment and people around you, but not your present knowledge.
knowledge is key to happiness.

depends what kind of knowledge you mean. knowing a bunch of history facts isnt going to make your life better unless you also have the knowledge of how to make it better.
so what you actually need is meta-knowledge about your knowledge
or maybe all i type is crap

The Tao will show is the way
Empty your mind. Be perfectly serene.
The ten thousand things arise together; in their arising is their return. Now they flower, and flowering Sink down, returning to the root.
The return to the root is peace.
Peace: to accept what must be, to know what endures.
In that knowledge is wisdom without it, disaster.
To know what endures opens your mind, Which lets you be impartial, which makes you sovereign, Which makes you omnipotent.
And then you follow the Tao, the way that endures forever, So when your body dies, there is nothing to fear.

this is teaching us to meditate, allow yourself to stop thinking, just listen to the sounds outside... nearby, then listen to the far away sounds, they will become louder. keep focused on those sounds, let go of your thoughts, then let your thoughts come and go, do not control it. you will experience pure consciousness and this is how you free yourself from the complexity of your life and problems

haha actually I'm only just starting to get into meditation, i don't really know much, just from reading stuff. maybe it works man, try going to a quiet park, and lay down. try to listen to all the sounds, like birds, machines, voices, dogs barking, planes flying past etc and see if you can free your mind from intrusive thoughts. it's so hard to do this, takes years of practice. but i think it's worth looking into if you're a troubled young man

meditation is good stuff. Requires discipline, and again knowledge.
Yes you need sort knowledge, filter knowledge, create learn "meta-knowledge" phylosophy about knowledge.
For example if you know that there is no meening in your life it changes everything, and makes you less responsible for knowlage pursuit about what you are and what is your purpose in life.

Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to at least 130 when you legally can't go that fast on any road?
