How would you rate your life?

[coyote]

every life is unique - there is no one, absolute, universal standard

trying to find such a standard and compare ourself to it is what makes us unhappy in the first place

2/5.

Actually barely 2. Because I am in singed to knee to depression, cant seem to way out.

 

[theslowesthand]

Well i selected 1/5 not compared to anybody else, but only to my own standards & life. I believe i have deserved a WAY WAY WAY better life than i've had. Partly due to practically NONE of my "major" goals or dreams in life being achieved, yet having put into almost superhuman amounts of time & effort into striving for my goals. But also due to the generally, absolutely miserable emotional life i've had. So the absolute frustration comes from that as well. And well as (currently) not even having most of my essential basic needs met. I think the overall cause of this systemic life failure, is simply having too many d*mn problems. h::kickingmyself::thumbdown:

Well yeah, of course. I mean the starving children in Africa have beautiful lives if we don't compare it to others' who don't starve...

 

[BlueDays]

Well, it entirely depends on which day of the week you ask me.
Mondays rating will be different from Tuesdays and that will be different from Wednesdays, and that will be different from Thursdays.......

My whole outlook of my life changes daily, even hourly sometimes.

its nice to discover that two users here claim that their life is 5/5, they can be good help for others!

i have yet to encounter any starving african children around here

we all seem to have the free time and resources necessary to allow us the luxury of debating philosophy in an online forum

things can't be that bad

relatively speaking

lol you said universal standard?? right?? now that includes starving african children too...but when we compare ourselves to that universal standards its quite too far so lets take an example of a sad and a happy person...that sounds well

I say 3/5 because at the moment life is okay. I don't feel particularly happy nor unhappy. I kind of just feel like I'm in the middle but a little more happier than sad if that makes sense? Idk, I just feel a bit more comfortable with life than I did say... 1-2 months ago.

I'd second that

 

[OceanMist]

Things could be better. I have no friends and no g/f, so I have room to improve because those are things I want.

 

[ForWantOf]

Compared to what I think I deserve? I think I deserve exactly what I put into life, which is nothing. So zero out of five.

 

[spearhunter]

I would rate mine 1/5 because i basically have no job, no girlfriend , i cant sleep, tired all the time , so yeah it is pretty miserable right now

 

[A Many Splendored Thing]

This needs a meh rating so I can vote.

 

[AGR]

I dont know what I deserve,but I would rate 2.5,its good,but there are stuff missing such as kind friends and girlfriend.:sad:

Wouldn't that give you a 5/5? The structure of your second sentence implies that you deserve nothing because you put nothing into life. Therefore, if you are rating your life based on what you deserve, and you are getting out of life what you deserve, based on the parameters of the question, you should get a 5/5.

In other words, you've suggested that you put nothing into life and so you deserve nothing. In this relationship, you are getting what you deserve...

If your life was a machine:


You put 0 into the machine---*MACHINE*---You get 0 in return

Your machine is working perfectly. You get a 5/5

This is all based on the assumption that you get "nothing" out of life.

I should have just said "zero," as in, "the absence of value." Zero times zero is still zero. I give nothing; I gain nothing. I suppose that does make everything status quot. Guess I don't need to hang around this joint anymore. Who would have thought I was actually doing it right all this time?

 

[drganon]

3/5. Could be better, could be worse.

 

[Lamb]

2/5. I know I have so much more potential, and I'm the one holding myself back from taking those leaps that could break boundary walls.

All in all, my health is good, there are people who care about me, and I have a roof over my head.

 

[hidwell]

I would rate my life simply, I should never have been born.
