Chain Essay 1

In my opinion, the world has no bright side to it. People die every second from starvation while hundreds die from war. Schools that are supposed to teach kids to construct a brighter future, are overwhelmed by the competitions to raise their reputation. SAT registrations are hard to do, and chocolate milk is hard to drink. Graduation is far away while the entrance ceremony also seems far ago. School will make us wake up at 6 every morning soon, forcing us to go to morning exercises through freezing air. BUT, despite all this we do have one hope, one single hope that our tomorrow will be better than today.


Hopefully, we can expect better tomorrow. When we observe our life in long-term, our life is a kind of voyage to death. Death. The most beautiful thing in the world. Death. Which ends up all of the problems you have. Death is the only solution for our endless pains. People expect tomorrow, since tomorrow is closer to death than today. Let us die


Before we die, we have to suffer from all the quizzes. In long term, we all die, but in short term, many thing won't let us die peacefully. After graduation, males have to go to army. After finding jobs, everyone has to suffer from the fear of getting fired. In long term, we have to always work without any happiness. In this society, people can never be happy


Let's move back to the true meaning of 'happiness' then. Everyone pursues his or her own happiness. Many philosophers tried to find the answer: what is happiness? But they couldn't define it. Why? Because happiness doesn't exist on this planet at all. Happiness is an illusion that we aim for meaninglessly. If people want to achieve happiness, they have to sacrifice so many things in short-term. In long-term? People will anyway die. Happiness does not exist at all.


In conclusion, there might not be a good enough reason for us to live. Happiness does not exist. It is an illusion. Pains, sadness, and tragedy exist. Unless we can find a better reason to live, we don't need to exist any more. Let's all die. It's the conclusion.
