Fine if your sky daddy is keeping you from killing yourself and giving you comfort well let it be then,but do not impose your emotional states on the rest of us.
No. I begin my talk saying no, not because I am close minded, but to protect others from your suicidal sayings so that they can discard your argument as quickly as possible before it does any damage.
Your purpose on this Earth is to eat, drink, fuck and raise children. If you do not derive strong pleasure from either one of these activities, you are profoundly ill and are in need of immediate psychiatric attention.
When you have sex, masturbate, drink or eat tasty food, you should piss yourself in pleasure and be amazed by your existence in this world. It should be a rush, like, your limbs go weak and you go like, "yes! this is it!". If you cannot feel a rush from any of these activities, seek medical help immediately. Go to a psychiatrist and tell him/her what you feel.
Serotonin has a strong time component. If you have low serotonin, life will seem like Hell and most of all, you will feel like things won't ever change. That's the purpose of serotonin, to provide a time component to your feelings, but make no mistake, a small adjustment to it by an SSRI and your life will change dramatically. Do not base your reasoning on the way your serotonin makes you feel.
