Sometimes life doesn't seem natural

[Chikombo]

Like when you go to school, you are expected to know things, like how? Nobody tells you exactly how and what to do to learn.

And all the time you are depending on others, on stuff like the internet, what did you do when you didn't have those things? Then you had other things you depended on, like functional arms and legs or something.

But there are so many factors that goes into making life just work. Driving cars seems scary to me, you are always so close to death, but somehow it's supposed to work and make sense.

Life doesn't seem to make sense, like if we need chiropractors why do we need them really? Like why can't our bodies be built so we can adjust ourselves? Why do we need to create an entire profession just around that?

And not one single person can be doctors, psychologists, teachers, police officers etc, we need other people all the time.

It doesn't make sense.

It's just a funny thought I have.

I cant even think of a response to this post.

you need therapy.

 

[Urda]

We build barriers for ourselves to become oblivious to the truth about our existence: There is no purpose to live.

idk man, wish we had a alien civilization around to compare

 

[HowDidIGetPrem]

Why would you expect human life to be natural??

 

[Our Lord Sasuke]

We need a purpose in our lives to survive, it's based on evolution.

Yea life is werid but thats the glory of it. To live thru mistakes and make your mark on the world. I mean we created a number system, currency, and language just to make the world more sound but do we really need those thinks...

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

Because the universe isn't exactly made in our favour and we've been blessed with the intelligence to manipulate nature to make it suit out desires.

 

[Fountain]

That's the thing. You can look at it as a game, or a test. If everything made sense and you knew everything, what would be the point.

You are suppose to study, and ask other people with more life experience to gain the desired knowledge.

And all the time you are depending on others, on stuff like the internet, what did you do when you didn't have those things? Then you had other things you depended on, like functional arms and legs or something.

Well, of cause we are depended on others, did you think knowledge would just suddenly manifest in your brain just because you wanted to know something? now that would be unnatural...

Also, books man books... we read books to learn information... we didn't have the internet so we couldn't look it up online, we either asked teachers, or our parents about stuff we didn't know.

But there are so many factors that goes into making life just work. Driving cars seems scary to me, you are always so close to death, but somehow it's supposed to work and make sense.

We drive vehicles because it makes society function, if everyone had to live a few miles away from their work and walk/cycle over to it the entire society would look different than it does now, and you get used to the people dying in car crashes, the risk is so low anyway and there is only a couple of thousands that die every year (in the us) do to traffic accidents, there are more people that dies from getting the cold in the US than there is because of traffic.

Life doesn't seem to make sense, like if we need chiropractors why do we need them really? Like why can't our bodies be built so we can adjust ourselves? Why do we need to create an entire profession just around that?

Because we are not designed to be a perfect species, we evolved from other primates, we still are primates, we are a biological "machine" and things can go wrong and sometimes you get sick, injures or pull a mussel and you need someone with knowledge of the bodies anatomy to fix it...

Wouldn't it be more unnatural if humans bodies never needs fixing and nothing ever went wrong?

And not one single person can be doctors, psychologists, teachers, police officers etc, we need other people all the time.

It doesn't make sense.

there is nothing funny about the though, there isn't enough hours in a day or years in a lifetime to be able to master and do so many vastly different professions in life, at least not in a way that would even be called mediocre, if you tried you would be lucky if you weren't fired for being incompetent...

would you trust a 40 year old doctor that was also a licensed psychologists, who had also teaches for a few year while also spending a few years as a police officers? or would you rather have the doctor with 15 years of experience?

Trying to do everything yourself will result in your failing, it's only when you does something you excel at that you are useful to your coworkers and society... There is nothing useful about a jack of all trades who can't do anything properly.

Good luck trying to have a peaceful life without the ability to count or communicate with other people... and lets not even forget about currency... without these things you wouldn't have the PC your in front of writing on the internet, you would be busy sitting in a cave trying to defend it with a stick while eating a rodent raw, because you wouldn't know how to cook it because you can't even light a fire...

Lets not kid ourselves, most likely you wouldn't even have been born because one of your ancestors would properly have been murdered because someone wanted that fruit they wore eating...

and thats why humanity fails people like yourselves need to acknowledge , that man will all way ask themselves where to find power rather than to ask what is right... you think you need words to express things or currency to buy happiness how about live your life. youre stupid for even degrading humans back to the stone ages if we didnt have phones or t.v , you my friend need to step outside once in your life lol. ever heard of a library? or even witnessed a miracle? life is a one way street, the world isnt getting small just the things around us. by the way a peaceful life ha dont kid your self just because your nicely tucked under a secure dark room below your moms houses doesnt mean the outside world is... life is a game you either flexing or you typing

i suggest you read the book into the wild, and educate yourself instead of watching to much anime

I clearly did not make the claim that: " you're stupid for even degrading humans back to the stone ages if we didn't have phones or t.v"

I said, if we didn't have the ability to communicate our though and opinions with other people (the ability to communicate) then we would never have made a stable and somewhat peaceful society where we could invent the stuff/items that made life so peaceful as it is today...

How the hell did you get from: Good luck trying to have a peaceful life without the ability to count or communicate with other people.

Which is what i wrote to the strawman you answered me with, like i can't even fathom the mental leaps and gymnastics you managed to use to do that...

or even witnessed a miracle?

No, i haven't because they don't happen.

life is a one way street, the world isnt getting small just the things around us. by the way a peaceful life ha dont kid your self just because your nicely tucked under a secure dark room below your moms houses doesnt mean the outside world is... life is a game you either flexing or you typing

The world have never been as peaceful and secure as it is now in the 21 century, but that doesn't mean that there isn't still war or crimes, but if you think people had it any at any other time in history then it is you who need to go to a library and actually start reading books and not me.
