Honestly I am absolutely miserable with life. Some of the most recurring thoughts that run through my head are "I hate life" and "I wish I was dead" and "Please kill me" (I should really get out of the habit of saying all that though). I don't wanna die though, I'd live forever if I could (in fact a goal of mine is to sign up for cryonics). Actually the reason I'm so miserable is because I just can't get over how I'm gonna waste half my life doing shitty work everyday just to survive. I'm actually purposely waking myself up early in the morning everyday, ruining my sleep and my mood, in order to go and do something I hate. I don't understand how everyone isn't constantly depressed and talking about how shit that is.
I know it's necessary for people to survive and all that, otherwise no one would get any food or electricity or anything. I'm not trying to say we should all stop working. I'm just saying it's shit we couldn't have been born a century or two later, when robots could do all that shit and life could be spent enjoying yourself.
And I know people will think I'm being such a spoilt brat, complaining so much when life is so much worse for other people. I'm not even living in poverty or with any major illnesses or injustices or anything. But I find it very hard to take consolation in that, it's just a lack of adversity rather than any real good fortune. Like taking all the positives and negatives into consideration, I wouldn't say this life would be worth being born into tbh (I mean for someone who hasn't been born yet and so where it wouldn't matter to them if they're not born. Obviously it's not the same for someone who's already been born, I'm not advocating suicide).
And that's not even to mention how most pleasurable things that we use to try to make life more tolerable (like drugs, alcohol, fats, sugar, TV, etc.) are bad for you and kill you, where as healthy things (like exercise and dieting) are painful and repellent. It's like that was designed out of spite.
So in conclusion, my opinion is that life is unfortunately shit tbh.
