Life is undeniably full of rough patches, with suffering often overshadowing the good moments for many people. If I had to rate it, I'd say it's a complicated mix—sometimes deeply painful, often uncertain, and not always worth the struggle for everyone. It's an experience that doesn't come with guarantees or fair distribution of happiness. For some, it's fulfilling, but for many, it's just as you said—a "shitty machine" that asks for much and offers little in return.

What's your rating?

what a horrible shitty machine to be alive in

Life can be good and bad. As an overall thing- speaking for everyone- I simply can't speak for everyone! Some people with what I would consider a terrible life would still claim it was good. I can't say they're wrong. It's their opinion.

Personally, I think life carries too much risk of very bad things happening to expose an unconcenting lifeform to it- go antinatilism and all that.

My life? It's had good and very bad parts to it. Overall, I wish I hadn't been exposed to it. I wouldn't choose to do it again in any form whatsoever.

So- to give it a review. I wish I'd never experienced it but, seeing as I did, some parts I'd give a full 5 stars. Some parts, I'd be looking for criminal damages compensation! But, say you actually got the choice, I'd be more likely to warn people of the dangers of it rather than recommend it.

Life is not always shit, but people are. Society are. The system we live in is a fucking shithole. I am sick of everything that's happening now - the money part, the male-female competition part, the poverty part, the abuse and cruelty part, the social media part, everything. I don't want to live now. Disgusted with being alive

Why can't we just live in nature, in peace, in harmony with each other
Why do we need that 5th car, that 3rd mansion.
Why do we worship celebrities and influencers
Why is there such a huge gap between rich and poor
Why do we think that someone's worth is based on how much he/she works
I don't understand anything but I am not made to live like this

Life is horrible. My life sucks but when I see people outside Europe, like in afrika or other poor places, I wonder how long I would've keept going there. In the southern part of Afrika the hiv prevalence is between 18-25%, thats roughly every 5th or 4th person.

When I would rate life itself, I'd say it's a balance between good and bad. I've seen beautiful things out there, I've seen beautiful places and beautiful people, although all the atrocities going on neutralizes the good. Speaking of life on earth, I have a feeling it'll shift for the worse over the years. The bad will replace the good; it'll be harder to find the wonders that make me appreciate sticking around. I don't think I want to be here to witness that.

I would rate life (sentience) itself to be a negative, or bad because of all the shitty things that happen, with the potential to become really horrific, not limited to disease, natural disasters, infirmity, accidents, and victims of violence/crime, and many more. Most people just take the path of least resistance and also copes are just distractions from the inevitable end (death) and from the existential dread itself.

I think the World & Life is neutral.

Besides all the negative things, i strongly believe life can also be very beautiful.
Where else can you experience such a range of emotions, both positive and negative?
Where else are there so many opportunities and circumstances to encounter?
For me, life seems to hold a certain neutrality, a balance of sorts.
But I feel crushed beneth the weight of this balance, so much so that even the beautiful moments bring their own kind of pain.

Life is full of facets.
If there were no beautiful facets, the contrast, the pain and burdens that so many feel, that I feel too, might not seem so hard to bear.
Life is life, and that makes it almost incomprehensibly unique; It can even be terrifying.
Life is like a bag of chips with a hidden meat grinder inside. The question is whether the blood-stained chips can still be delicious.

Don't get me wrong:
Despite life's many wonders, there's a vast, unending depth of pain in this world.
And as long as anyone suffers, no matter the cause, I can see the world as cruel and misanthropic.
It's a place of both astonishing beauty and utter ugliness.
The world is the most beautiful & ugliest pile of shit that has ever been shat upon.
This wretched, reeking stench of existence corrodes my mucous membranes.
This joyful existence characterized by agony and suffering. I loathe it.
Fuck, just fuck... What is all this supposed to be anyway?
You wake up in suffering, and at night, you go to sleep in it.
And this cycle repeats. Every. Single. Day.
Every fucking Day.
Every Day.
And I was writing more from a negative point of view.
Someone else would have written from a more positive perspective.
Somehow everything in this world balances out; Well, unfortunately not for everyone.


That's why I would say that Life is neutral.

I think the World & Life is neutral.
The animal kingdom can be seen as evidence of the brutality embedded in nature itself. Observing animals' lives reveals a harsh reality: animals endure immense suffering, often without any apparent purpose. Predators slowly consume prey alive, animals face constant fear and competition, and some engage in violent behaviors, such as infanticide or forced mating. This isn't due to moral choices or free will—they're simply acting on instinct, shaped by evolutionary pressures.

Since animals lack moral agency, they aren't held accountable in any traditional sense, which makes their suffering seem especially arbitrary. Some argue that this suffering might have ecological roles or that it's a necessary part of life's balance, but it still raises the question: why does nature allow for so much pain? For some, this suggests that nature itself is indifferent to suffering, operating on principles of survival, competition, and instinct, rather than any inherent sense of justice or compassion.

Extreme Pain is much worse than people know

no one can convince me there is an objective reason that i or any other sentient animal has to live another minute. no one can convince me there is an objective reason why i should want to live another minute or why i should do anything at all. there is no purpose to life, it's a just a piece of chemistry . life is meaningless suffering .

There is no objective meaning even if most didn't have to fucking work 15 fucking hours a day every fucking day doing chores , working a job , trying to fix problems , to do list , taking out trash, washing clothes , groceries , eating 3 times a day, cleaning every fucking thing for what reason? and then getting up having to shower dress commute fix car gas work a job the next day and all this again the next day for 90 fucking years . for what reasons ? there is none.

life is the most horrible abomination cells a brain that can suffer unending constant unbearable pain.

what am i a brain in a box , a bag of cells

there is pain so bad that it makes everything else meaningless.

all the crap "pleasurable" addictions are meaningless anyway even without the extreme pain which can't be separated from them because both are part of the save evil this evil life and evil prison world.

a human is just cells a machine a peice of chemistry

the crap addictions are just bait to keep one here to be a prisoner slave and fall for the worst torture worst pain imaginable

Someone can look at an apple and view it as genuinely beautiful. Another person could look at that apple and see it as genuinely revolting. Who's right? Or perhaps the importance of a thing is entirely up to the person perceiving it?
