Which would you rather be?

[CaptainWacky]

A starving african who nonetheless still feels pleasure, enjoys life, and has hope for the future (but is starving and covered in flies and shit.)

Westerner with a comfortable life whose pleasure centre of the brain malfunctions and can feel no pleasure?

VOTE

 

[Cassie]

Westerner without pleasure. Flies are gross!

 

[whisky]

But you can find some of the best things in life behind flies.

 

[Gagh]

Why live a long life when you can find no meaning?

Good poll, Wacky.

 

[Cassie]

Piles of shit?

I always feel like crying when I see those starving Ethiopians with flies crawling on their faces.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

They never seem too bothered by the flies. Suppose they have more important worries.

I'd rather have pleasure.

 

[Cassie]

You'd also be black. (racist comment of the day)

 

[Mentalist]

My sense of me is too ingrained to transplant my life onto someone else.


Though situation doesn't denote pleasure. If you're poor and hungry and are still able to be happy or a billionaire who is a manic depressive and hates every moment of existence then clearly being the poor and hungry one would be much more preferable.
