I can't even think sometimes. It's because society weakens our minds to just the right strength to control us. When your mind tries to rebel against the forces at will, you become vulnerable to the thumb that pushes you back down. Like putty on a stick. You say I can't appreciate the good without the bad. You think what kind of life would you live if you didn't feel unhappiness. Your argument is invalid because you don't know what it would feel like. If you work within the boundaries that society puts there for you then you can do just fine. But if you try a more candid approach then the boundaries close in on you. The boundaries of society that WE MAKE OURSELVES! It's like the walls are intangible but they're there. I think that some people aren't even aware that they're there. You tell me "that's life". You know what that sounds like to me? It sounds to me like you're saying "it's god's work". That's what it sounds like to me when you say "you can't appreciate the bad without the good". Because you have to do that unless you don't want to be a part of society. But think about it, you never asked to be born, and yet it's as if you're under a contract that you never signed on how to live your life. Swallow that pill and don't spit it out and then come and respond to me with an honest response!

Umm, was that a rant?
Nah, couldn't be a rant, but maybe it was?
funny, you are the guys that say how good things are getting.

If you want to see the problem find a place with a lot of mirrors and people-
What you see while gazing in the looking glass is the problem.

What?

Oh wait. You're a Christian. Never mind. I don't have the where with all to try to talk to you right now. I don't expect you to understand.

MLA is a plural? Who knew?

Okay, let me re-respond to this. How about you try to understand what I said? You haven't even addressed what I said. You just said I am the problem. Why?

One can argue that bad doesn't really exist and is just an absence of good, because at the end of it all, what we call "good" is defined by our own morality. But I personally fill bad is necessary to know good, because our morality is shaped by these bad things which ultimately allows us to define the good, and the "bad" isn't something limited within our society but is applicable to almost everything in nature to some degree.

But if there was no bad and there was only good, would we even notice either one? Would morals be shaped or exist at all?

Who gives a fuck? No bad = no problems. You're over complicating a simple idea.

No problem IS a problem in itself.

In other words, problems are bad but bad isn't the problem.

Let's say a meteor crashes into your house right before you were going to watch you favorite show, so that is a problem and that is bad, but the meteor doesn't give a fuck about it.

To say there is no problems means there is not any problems. What you're saying is basically like trying to add or subtract or divide or multiply zero by zero.
