The meaning of life.

Okay, let's imagine a person who simply lives. They are born, study, work, get married, "reproduce," and die. That's their whole life. It's easy to conclude that a person is just an animal, but that's not the case. There are plenty of people who don't think about the meaning of life in modern pop culture. These people are easy to control. It's easy to manipulate them with advertising and pop music. People say "the masses eat it up" about such people. A normal person should at least sometimes think about what they live for, because sooner or later they will think about it anyway, but it will be too late. A bullet in the head is a sign of weakness. The person is afraid to roll up their sleeves and chooses an easier path. There's nothing difficult about deciding to commit suicide. "I'll just push a chair out from under myself, and it will all be over." If a person holds a gun to their head and struggles with the question of "to shoot or not to shoot," it means that they still have some willpower left, even if it's minimal. Suicide is always easy: "click," and it's over. You put your wrists in a sink of water and watch your life drain away. If everyone lived without thinking about the meaning of life, we wouldn't have Socrates, Plato, Shakespeare, Aristotle, Archimedes, Rembrandt, or Dante. The world would still be in the Stone Age.

Yeah, and perhaps they would be happier than they are now... but that's just a side note:D
"Much wisdom leads to much grief, and the more knowledge, the more sorrow," as Ecclesiastes said, when he was closer to the Stone Age than we are to him.
I could say a lot about controlling "unthinking" people and about the "ease" of suicide... but I won't...
And so-called pop stars are actually very thoughtful people, a hundred times smarter than you and me (I'm not talking about brainless blondes who have dollars instead of pupils:smile04:, although they also have their own ideas about life, apparently)... they just make money:rolleyes: they just... and cleverly... because it's very difficult to make money from "la-la"! You have to make sure that your "la-la" coincides with someone else's "yo-yo"! And that takes great skill and always carries the risk of failure. Show business is a roller coaster that crushes itself first:smile25:
