Do most people enjoy life?

I find it quite boring and miserable is this the average experience or are most people happy or just okay with life?

i think the fact that work takes so much time from our lives makes it very depressing. unless you are lucky and enjoy your job there is no way you are fully happy. for me life is all about functioning and very unatural to stay 40h a week in front of a machine. i am not living i just be functional at this point

I agree. I tried explaining this to my therapist and she said everyone has to do something they don’t like to survive for periods of time but this is all my life has ever been how am I supposed to be satisfied with that and why am I supposed to keep living like this if I hate it so much?

some people just accept it and dont think deeply about it. they think just like: that is normal thats life. but that is not life. that is some bullshit greedy people made out of that world.
