Your answer is flux based on your post. Its the only answer we have though. Its impossible in my opinion to even conceptulize the alternative. As such the default is what we except. |
Bliss doesnt = happyness the emotion. Bliss just means youre unaware of that which can hurt you. Bliss doesnt exist if there is nothing to hurt you. Becuase by nature in order to be blissfully ignorant you there has to be something hurtful for you to ignore.
My answer is that I think its better to have emotional fluctuations than live in the same numbed emotional state forever. Imagine everything youve ever felt, now erase it.. thats what youre talking about. All the love, hate sadness, everything that made you become who you are, wouldnt exist.
The world would probably be safer, but it would also be intolerably boring too.
I can take the sour with the sweet, because it really does make them more worthwhile.
