Why life has to be so slow, long and painful. There is no escape from boredom, illness and sadness. We try our best to keep us engaged to keep us distracted from boredom. We are taught to fight illness and be strong and get up every time we are pulled down by life. We are taught to get up as many times as needed only to be failed by life. There is a melancholy ringing in the ears, lurking in our thoughts and mind every waking moment. We constantly try to escape from all these and be hopeful of the future. Why life has to be so slow, long and painful. Why can't it speed up and let us die as soon as we are done with the procreation phase, saving a lot of unnecessary suffering. We console ourselves saying there are going to be happy days ahead, great things to see and meet interesting people who could change our perception of life. However, there isn't anything that's going to satiate the soul. It's only going to crave more and end in more suffering. There is suffering souls behind every closed door. I wonder how people bring lives into the world knowing it's going to be painful and sad.
To alleviate suffering, stay in the present they say. If humans have not evolved to have the sense of
time and memory to capture the past and plan for the future, we would have just bothered about the present. But only because of this boon, we have made so much progress as a species, which is also the reason for all the sufferings. I had always thought humans should be allowed to choose life and death. Like Euthnesia should be made common. Had it been, I am sure I wouldn't be writing this and long gone by now. Also, as a species who make so many mistakes in our simple decisions, can we decide for sure that we want to end our lives. I don't know, one day AI might help us decide if we are done for good. Or rather it can help us to end the sufferings and make life more bearable.
