+274 If you could choose between being in a state of okay-ness for the rest of your life where you're not exactly happy and not exactly sad but in the perfect middle, never to experience neither bliss nor depression and being on the roller coaster of emotion you're in now where you can be sad sometimes and happy other times, you would choose the roller coaster, amirite?

I'm on that rollercoaster and as much as I hate it, I wouldn't have it any other way.

The emotional rollercoaster is what makes life interesting and worth living for.

Well it depends if you mean normal ups and downs or like manic depressive ups and downs. The latter can cause people to become suicidal

I think they meant the normal ups and downs.

I feel like I'm already in the "state of okay-ness" emo it's not completely joyless, it's just like I'm on a sub-par roller coaster and the only fun part is the other people on the roller coaster...

So... You're happy when you're around other people, but when you're by yourself, you're just kinda bleh for no particular reason?

I'm not really bleh. The roller coaster that I'm on is all right, but I'm fully aware that I could be on way better roller coasters. Then I turn to the other people on the roller coaster with me and I'm pretty glad that I'm on this roller coaster. Roller coasters are surprisingly good metaphors for life.

Why would you choose to be okay over happy?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

You could also be sad though. That's the point

Unless you're a Stoic, in that case a permanent state of okay-ness without any strong emotions would be the ideal.
