When I saw the title of this article I jumped on it immediately haha. I love thinking about things like this and your point of view is pretty similar to mine. I also do not believe that good and bad are real things.

I read your first article on truth and got a little bit of understanding about your pillars of life. I think that those pillars plus emotions are the reasons we label things as either good or bad.

As you said, there are only events that occur and those events in and of themselves are neither good nor bad. They’re just things that happened. But we tend to associate good and bad to those events based on past experiences (pillars of life). You seem to be glazing over the fact that humans are very EMOTIONAL creatures. The subjective meanings that we assign to these events are, in large part, the reason most people keep on living.

We’re only human(for now) and the vast majority of humans NEED emotion to validate whether or not their lives are worth living. Without the subjectivity, we’d all just be a bunch of mindless robots executing programs in perfect sync with one another. Nothing would mean anything, not even death (which I actually think is quite overblown).

The emotion, the subjective, the volatility is what makes life interesting. So yea, there is no good and bad but it’s just a nasty side effect of what makes being human any good. Sounds to me like it’s time to learn how to control your emotions so that everything is subjectively good.
