You don't get to decide how another person feels just because you like a certain kind of struggle. Sorta like how I like being tied down and fucked while struggling, but it ain't everyone else's cup o tea.

Your perspective about whether or not humanity is truly living is about as annoying as that codswallop Thoreau tried to champion. It's self-superior.

That seems pretty condescending.

I didn't decide how anyone else feels.  I'm saying that we are human animals, and to fully experience that humanity, we have to live out some of the experiences that we are built for: love, anger, conquest, protection, etc. etc.  I'm defining "quality of life" as "those facilities or resources which allow us to most fully experience our humanity."  NOT as "Those facilities or resources which let us stay maximally safe and experience a maximal hedonic state."

So I'm not telling you how you feel, I'm saying that all our feelings are an important part of our existence as human beings.  And if they aren't, then Rand.

I dunno, some guy online thinking he can define what makes me fulfilled seems rather condescending in itself.
