If you look at anyone’s life story, most are comparatively boring and pathetic. Better ‘stories’ [an authentic reason?] generally rely on suffering to give them meaning, otherwise they become a bit Disney. Though often the story manifests the means to an end of the given kind of suffering, and as such is self defeating in the sense of removing the essential function ~ of what gives the story guts.
There would need to be a reason at the end of life, such to give credence to the suffering as the means to create something out of someone’s life. Change in the world may make us think the reason is worldly learning-from-suffering, and perhaps humanity gets better over time by learning from that. However, if we remove suffering we take away the function and it’s utility in giving us that purpose.
If life is about death/results and suffering [creation of said result], then it is not about life et al.
The universe [especially if infinite] is before and after us, so if it has dasein then it’s nothing to do with the little blip in time and space that is humanity, and especially a single life. …unless it’s authentic reason is life itself!
Living and being are the dasein, but most/all the other reasons we find meaning in are not.
I think humans mostly just want to be humans, in fact its the idea of loosing even that which generates to emotional need for power. It’s a crutch but a well deserved one.
There’s something to the newness of being a child, that the aggregate of suffering is cumulative. Children simply haven’t had as much shit and time to contemplate it, to question life.
Although prisoners get along about as well as other children, the fact that one group can do something under condition A, doesn’t mean every group can do something under condition A.
Then condition A is not conditional and really just a coincidental occurance, isn’t it?
-Just like the fact that deflated is not a condition for being a blue ball.
If children are capable of living authentically and adults are not capable of living authentically anymore, then the difference of both is because of development and learning, ubringing and education, thus because of natural and cultural processes which cause that adult humans are not capable of living authentically anymore.
