The world is a cruel place...

[Senju Bean]

If we have no physical evidence for either one we shouldn't assume any. Life will not automatically lean to the worse outcome magically, if that's what you're getting at.

This whole thread is just you being pessimistic. Try looking at life in a more positive way, it'll help you regardless of whether it changes anything.

I don't think it would magically select the worse outcome. But I do believe that it heavily leans towards it. Like 80% chance of discovering a worse outcome and 20% chance discovering a good outcome.

That is why stuff like IQ, looks, personality are discovered to be heavily reliant on genetics. Even wealth is statistically proven to isolate itself in a select few. Cancer has no cure yet. HIV is concentrated in minority groups are already marginalized. Those are all answers that none of us want to hear. Yet, it is what it is.

I'm not justifying not trying. Just saying it's a uphill battle and we should'nt understimate the curveballs life will throw.

A: In regards on dating: Man... We can see it all in two ways. One, we can be deem life as unfair and give up on playing this quest we call living, or we can just do what I call "play it on hard mode". You were born less atractive? Keep yourself clean and well presented, learn some jokes and be confident. You were born with a little more challenged on the field of intelligence? Study more. Ive seen more peolpe pass on colleges and get girlfriends by what they fought for and earned than by what they were born with. Life follows parte 1 Naruto ideology (be a genius of hardwork!) than parte 2 Naruto (bloodlines are everything! Lololol).
Just remember: Every single one of your ancestors managed to get mais Just take your time...

When I was 11 I thought I invented masturbation. I went to school the next day and it turns out that everyone else invented it also. That's the only truth in life.

Bwahahah thank you

I needed this.

So this leads to my main point.

Say there is a fact that needs to be verified.

With lack of evidence, automatically assume that the politically incorrect alternative is true. Because the world is cruel so it makes sense to take this route.

For example, does physical appearance matter in getting a date? Well, if we don't have solid scientific evidence for whether it matters or not, then we should err on the side of caution and say, YES, looks are everything.


Does IQ matter in life? YES because that is the politcially incorrect answer.

Does luck matter more than hard work? Yes, because that isn't what you want to hear.


The burden of proof falls on those siding with the politically correct side. The answer that we want is unlikely to be true because the world isn't how we want it to be.


Certainly better than setting ourselves up for disapointment.

the world is how it is, aka not how we want it to be, because of trying to make it how we want it to be. you can be thinking how you dont want to die, but your still thinking about your self and death, your willing what you dont want into fruition by constantly worrying about what we dont want, if that makes sense. kinda like how i didnt know what racism is , untill i heard people talking about racism, people are creating opportunities to be racist by talking about how there shouldn't be racism. prob off topic but thats what your ppost made me think of. even scientifically, there starting to prove that our words and wills do have an effect on our reality.

It will not lean towards it. You are naming cancer just because there is no cure yet, that doesn't mean there won't be. What's unrealistic is to expect that we will cure all disease.

Remember, you were the fastest sperm, lol, what are the odds of that? I bet less than 1 in a million.


The fact that you are here on this planet just killing free time on Naruto Base is incredible luck. What are the odds that all this happened? The universe is impartial, it can't be cruel or kind.

Unlike many people here , I donot think the topic is a waste of time. It is a good one, considering your earlier Hiruzen wanks.

Yes I do think luck matters and yes I do believe in Murphy's Law and am sure that whatever bad can happen will happen. However, I am told by people too that I am pessimistic. But when you are going through a phase in life in which even after constant efforts, nothing is working, you tend to get this way.

I am told by people that once luck turns, it turns drastically. That is the only thing we need to believe in and continue our efforts. What is the alternative ? Give up? Then that would waste all your previous effort and time. So swallow your failure and continue.

That is the answer you want because that is what you want to hear.

If it sounds right, it's probably wrong.

Then it will be same with world is a cruel place as it's the answer, you wanted to hear and you thinks that's right .

let's say world is a cruel place but then why do some people able to be successful in that world and others do not maybe thing is people like to whine over things ( don't take this personally ) than finding solutions for their problems and you can't say that successful people never faced that cruelty of the world, they really did and rather than whining over it they fought back and triumph over that cruelty

and if you doesn't look very good physically then at least you must've a one quality that looks attractive to others use it and develop it then you will find someone who will like you as who you are and sometimes when you look at your problems, it seems like you're the most unfortunate person in the world but look around there's people that lives more harder lives than you but they fight for better future than just giving up .

ayyy lmao

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

The world isn't more cruel than it is pleasant. It's just people focus on the negative.

Everyone does it, if someone gave you a bunch of compliments about something but also told you the flaws, you'd focus on the flaws more than the compliments.

You don't say...

 

[Izou Xaxa]

What you said has meaning but well its more like some people are lucky some are not no one can decide what happens to them
Sometimes things that people want does happen and sometimes certain people dont get it even if they deserve it the world in my eyes is a mix of despair, sadness, cruelty but also happiness, peace and other good things
Anyway its true the world is not so fair and some people are never happy for some people its cruel for some people its not because they are succesful thats all there is to it
The world is unfair i would say
