Wanting what you dont need

[Snake of Eden]

Why do we keep wanting what we dont need or know it will not truly give us happiness? By that I mean this, life and everything in it. We know that this is not going to make us happy yet we keep on desiring it even though we know whole heartedly the result which is misery. On the other hand we know that death is our liberation and closest thing to what we need yet we dont want it. We dont desire it. If we did we truly would be dead.

We live in a consumerist society. One mans spending is another mans income. As soon as this illusion breaks down society will break down

 

[Life sucks]

Life = Very slow and painful ctb method

Life with distractions = Very slow and slightly less painful ctb method

Humans think the slight reduction is big but in reality it's small and temporary

 

[Salkak]

That's because we are biologically programmed that way. A new toy usually makes a kid happy. This behavior continues even when we become adults. Just keep on collecting shit that doesn't matter, only to realise that after a certain point it won't make you happy. It will all become clutter.
Whereas Death might be peace or liberation but dying is not peaceful for many.
