Really, theres no other choice but to just go on with life. You can wonder howevr much you want, but i dont think the truth will evr be found about what exactly the point is to everything we do and what lays ahead for the rest of us. Like you said, suicide would be a great option, but thanks to family and friends, not the right choice, because youll just be hurting them as well. Then again, you're going to hurt them in the end , aren't you? We all die, no matter how it is, theyre going to be sad, so i think i'm going to have to contradict myself and say maybe suicide is the best option? Somehow, people make it out to be such a bad thing, when i think in some sort of way it might be better for some people, i mean, why continue suffering? im not saying wre should alll go kill ourselves though, and i hopenobody takes this too seriously, it's more of just how i feel at times, when more then enough there will be good days, you know whan you're happy, no matter the reason. I think thats the ultimate purpose of our lives, those tiny moments when evrything is as it should be, and you couldnt be happier. those moments are rare for many though, at least from what i can see. Otherwise, there would be alot less drama in life where ppl do stupid things out of frustration/anger/sadness. So perhaps its just better to "go w/ the flow" and not question things so much? But of course, if everyone did that, we'd all be sheep, which most ppl r anyways. if ignorance is bliss, then why arent more ppl happy? It can go either way for many really, no matter how little or how much you know, its not goingto solve the great mystry of why we're here, so i guees ll just have to agree with what you say, and choose to live your life the way you want, just as long as people follow certain morals

Because ignorance is more often then not, not bliss at all. People are constanly trying to keep themselves from becoming educated, they'd much rather follow what they've been following than risk relizing that what they have believed all this time is just a population control tatic, though your statement on most people being sheep is right on I think . Too bad really, to think that religion couldve died out a thousand years ago if people would just use common sense for once. Oh well, a different thread perhaps...

I stil cant be totally convinced, i mean my dad worked at a place for mentally handicapped people, and they seemed to be some of the happpiest people i know. Of course maybe thats just the way they appear outwardly. Plus, i remember i used to be somewhat of a happier person when i was young, like most little kids are, and i just kind of came to the conclusion that its because now that i know more, i have more to deal with, therefore more to worry about. I guess really, happiest cant be based wholey on how much you know and how much that effects you, but as well as other factors
