I already explained to you and everyone else who has really read this, yes people should be happy when they do experience many joys of life but there is still always a downfall to those "joys" right now the richest man in the world can't even enjoy his money because he has so much things that he doesn't even know what to buy anymore, that is the downfall of being rich and there is many other things that has a downfall, and as you stated I said people "should" and yes that is an opinion, but I'm trying to make people think out side the box of what's truely right. Let's put one of your family members in perspective, let's say they have joys in life from being rich but, they are a cancer patient, would you want them to enjoy the "joys of life" with their money? Or would you rather them be out of pain and suffering and would you acknowledge that once god has taken them away, they've gone to a better place? As you said it can be argue'd two ways, I think you're not understanding what I'm saying, you are not thinking outside the box, you're being too simple minded. I'm not trying to insult your intelligents when I say "simple minded" I'm just seeing it from a more common sense perspective.
I already know everything you just said holy shit. I am not being simple minded at all. Your little poem only states one side - the opposite of what people do. And I disagree with what it says, how people should cry when a baby is born and be happy when someone dies. The natural emotion is the opposite of that. I agree with the natural emotion. I understand your point of view, and disagree with it. If you can cry when you have your first kid out of sadness, I will be very surprised.
Your poem or whatever does not say there are two sides. Your poem strictly says one is the 'truth'. And that people 'should' be doing a certain thing. If your point is that there are bad and good things in both life and death, then your point is not shown in the quote. It strictly says that your opinion is that people should be doing the opposite of what they do now.
I see it as common sense that there is bad and good. I know a baby will face hardships one day. But hell no am I going to cry out of sympathy for it when it's born. And yes, there is a possibility that a person in pain will be happier after death. But am I not going to cry? Hell no. I cry because I am going to miss them. Because they are no longer in mine or anyone else's life. I understand your quote entirely and do not feel the same way about it. I am not simple minded for having a different point of view.
If this was just to say there is both bad in birth and good in death, and that people should remember both instead of one, then you failed entirely when writing those 7 or so sentences.
