Which would you choose?

[ZekeyLizard]

Which of the above choices would you rather live by?
quit laughing its a good thread!!!

[Wahoo]

this topic isn't really a debate, as i have nothing to debate on. If i was debating that i chose the option for my life being happy, then that is still not a debate because that is the option i have chosen, i cannot debate my own feelings on a certain subject if they are true and i know that they are true. Good idea with the topic zekey, but i don't think it will work :(

[GorillaBearBear]

Yeah, Ihave to agree with that, perhaps a move to pap, anyway...

I chose the first option. I mean, who cares if you can't choose what to do if you were totally happy, you wouldn't consider it a bad thing because you'd be completely happy about everything
Easy choice for me.

Sure, happy and mindless sound like a nice easy life, but it was not explicitly implied that it should stay that way.

I would rather be sad and have the power to change my life for the better, and get happy, that be happy, but have no power to stay that way when things fuck-up.

[ZekeyLizard]

This would be cheesed in Pap probably.
Oh well.
Hey Im a padwan again....that was fast.:confused:

If my life was full of sorrow, but I could change me life, then I would change my life so that it wasn't full of sorrow anymore. Pretty simple I'd say. :cool:

I have a cool live.. and I don't do what everybody else does...
I got friends.. but not that much... everybody at school is insane..
They all act like each other.. But I am still myself.. everybody wears spikes and wears deodorant and that stuff... But I prefer to keep my neanderthall look.. yeah.. sweet... like the guardian of Jotunheim.. yeah.. sweeet...

Read Aldous Huxley's Brave New World if you want an argument against the first option.

As for myself, I belive that you can't be truly happy until you have something to compare it to, a time of relative pain, otherwise happiness is just plain empty.

I value my mind, my ability to think. I would never give that up.

Apparently you're happy doing the stuff you're told to do (like an ant or whatever), so I don't really see the problem.

[Cherokee Red]

I write a lotof lyrics and stuff, which is what makes me happy (and sad @ the same time).
So if couldn't do that anymore (cos i think for myself) I could never be happy. I know some part of me would be missing and i wouldn't like it.

I need thoughts of my own, and most of my stuff comes from pain any way, so I would be happy with the whole sorrow thing.

Or George Orwell's 1984.

[Fruiterian]

yes... I'm actually reading that one now. I'm not too far into it...

I'm still standing by the second option.

[often Ndisguise]

im not entirely convinced the ppl in brave new world were happy. They were just drugged up.

Anyway i currently lead a life more along the lines of the second choice. Believe me, I dont think fat dumb and happy could possibly be such a bad thing. I would trade my philosophical views of the world for a bit of dumb happy.

maybe...

I agree with malcolio, fix your life up, and be independant, and rule da show mohahahaa....

I would hate being a hive mentallity, I couldn't harbor secrets, voices in my head (well, more than usual ;), and a state of mind-numbness.

'nuff said.
