It depends on what you consider to be the finer things----------home, family, love, friends...........those are the finer things.  Nothing else is even close.

It depends on the individual, how much they value their life and their quality of life.

Oh would the world be a whole lot better, but human nature is just bizarre sometimes, but I love your frame of mind, none of these things builds character or self esteem in the long run.

LIFE IS A RISK, A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES STARTS WITH A STEP.\nTHE BEST WAY TO APPRECIATE YOURSELF IS WHEN YOU ARE TRUELY FULLFILLED, NO MAN HAS THE RIGHT TO DEPRIVE YOU OF HAPPINESS,,,,,,.\nRIGHT KNOW YOU ARE FEELING LOW, BUT GUESS WHAT, DIG OUT YOUR SELF ESTEEM FROM WHERE EVER YOU BURIED IT AND MOVE ON. YOU HAVE YOUR LIFE TO LIVE, DON;T ALLOW NO MAN BRING YOU DOWN. NOBODY IS ABOVE EDUCATION, OR BETTER STILL LEAERN A TRADE! YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE HAPPY GIRLFRIEND.

It is morally wrong not to enjoy ourselves. What about people who are blind, does that mean I should not want to see, or people who are deaf, does that mean I should not want to hear?\nWhatever it takes to enjoy life and as long as it does not hurt anyone else, it should be done.

No this isn't the life I had imagined.  It is both better and worse, depending on when I was doing the imagining.  But I have a lot to be grateful for, if I look for it.  I married my best friend, we have a nice but modest home, and we are both employed.  We have friends and family who love us.  Although not in perfect health, we are mobile and not living in constant pain.  Our needs are taken care of and sometimes some of our wants.  There are folks who have more than and less than us---but as long as we are grateful for what we have things are good.  Very good.\n\nLife IS an adventure---regardless of where you are.  Really look around you to see all of the people you have the opportunity to make a difference in.  Even the little things that you say to a child or stranger may make a difference.  When I remember the simple things that people said to me that changed my life, I doubt that those people knew how much it would mean to me years later.  To love and be loved is the most productive anyone can be.  To give to others is the most rewarding thing you could do in life.\n\nAre you only concentrating on the positive things in your life that you want to grow or the negative things?

No one possesses the wisdom to know what is best in the long run.  We might succeed in making our lives more comfortable but cause unbearable suffering to some future generation.  Or we might change the forces that caused us to be born at all.  In which case we would not be born to make the change and cause a paradox.  \nWhich might be cool.

i bet a lot more than anyone realizes. you have to consider depression and anxiety, cancers, diabetes, all sorts of other illnesses that restrict any ability to either eat what you want, go where you want, do what you want, feel how you want... anything that restricts your true capacity to enjoy life to its fullest is technically denying your best quality of life. i think a lot of people suffer from that every day.

what you have to ask is how unattractive is it to have to worry about disease. protecting your heart and your body from all the crap that can happen is a worth while thing. nothing wrong with not just doing it to do it.

Depends. If you are living in Sub-Saharan Africa, then, no, not really. If you are living in Vancouver, life is pretty good. As a whole, that's a pretty broad question. It is better to the extent that modern medicine keeps people alive longer. It's worse because all those people that are living longer cost billions of dollars in tax payer money making it difficult to pay for other much need social services. It's better in that it's easier to make and distribute food. It's worse because we have 190,000,000 people in the US that you could easily call "fat".\n\nIt's all relative.

A philosopher from the 1800's said, Soren Kierkegaard, said that the nicer you are, the more that some people will despise you.  Kind of like the bigger the good, the bigger evil is attracted to it and then repelled by it.  \n\nBeing good may not always benefit you, but it will always benefit at least one other, so that makes it all worth it.

Depends on how well you take care of yourself both physically and mentally.

Is it more value to live than to not exist at all? (That's the alternative, I'm sure you'll agree.)\n\nI'd argue yes. I'd much prefer to exist than to not. The actual value of my life I would consider it a factor of how much I can make an impact on the world, how much I enjoy it with family and friends, and how much I can enhance myself personally.\n\nDoes that mean anything, you might ask? It does to me - it means a lot. In fact, it means everything.
