Question: Why does it mean if I feel bad that something better exists?

Answer: To understand what is good and what is better or worse, you need to analyze whether your suffering is enough for you. Maybe it is worth trying to find some idea or logic within it?

Perhaps there is a certain pattern, and if I discover it, I would live better? After all, what do we ultimately want from life? Just to live better! You are not swimming against the current of life; you are moving with it.

What we are missing in this world is a certain informational element in order to be happy, to know why we live, why we suffer, why we die, why we were born, to know everything about our life! Does it all have a purpose?

In any case, you can’t escape these questions! Isn’t the dissatisfaction and suffering from these questions and the troubles that rain down on us enough to make us seriously search for an answer?! If not, then let’s go on living as before: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

But even that possibility is no longer given to us. The bitterness comes in advance, and I no longer want to “eat and drink” and forget about tomorrow. The joy of today is already taken from me before it even comes.
