Question: Is life a good thing!?
i wonder,
do people generally think life is a good thing!? something they want to bring more beings in to!? something they enjoy for the most part!?

or do they just go through the motions, cause it's better than death!? it's dictated by the instinct to survive!?

i'm not asking if people if people are 100% happy or 100% morbid!. i understand everyone is neither all of the time, but in general for the average person what are the more common tendencies!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Good question-only I'm not on level 2!. I think that when people have security and acceptance and feel that they are in control of things, they have happiness!. It's more than the instinct to survive, or no one would smoke or eat fast food!. It's about living a quality life, making sure that we matter and are somehow in control of our destiny!. This explains heroes who die for a cause!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It must hurt to think that much! Just kidding!.!.!. sure life is a great thing! It's great to be alive! Not everybody is really alive though!. It has nothing to do with instinct - that's how animals survive!. Humans have something that no other creature has!. Which is the reason to be thankful and alive! It is our spirit!. Our essence inside of us!. Our character!. The exceptional quality that makes each of us unique!. I'm very happy that I was born a human and can give thanks to God every day for my life!. We get to experience a kind of life that no other creature ever made can experience!. How cool is that!?

Life is the greatest gift of all!.

To be able to live, grow and experienced life itself!.
The good, the bad, the sadness, the happiness, the failure, the success and all that makes and keep the world go on and on and on!.
At some point in our life, yearning to love and be loved is at the heart of who we are!.
Everything that makes life worth living for!.

That surely makes life a good thing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Life is a chance to be yourself!. Life has so many possibilities!. How it will turn out and what will it give you!. I like to refer life as a big waiting room for the big thing!. Life prepares you to be mean and tough, to handle things better!. Its the big waiting room, where you meet lots of people and share stories!. In the end, you leave the waiting room!. You move on!.
