How can it be that one minute, we are on top of the world?

Question

and the next we wonder why we exist?

Answer 1

becuase one minute we accomplish something we're proud of, and then the next moment it malfunctions. or someone doesnt show appreciation for it.

or.

the human mind is complex, always in search of something. almost like a to-do list that never ends. lets say you finished cleaning your room... YAY! and then... you walk out into the living room. and its like sh*t now i gotta do this. ugh. i hate life. and then... YAY! i finished cleaning it. and... ugh now i have homework. the human mind is never completely satisfied with what its got. cuz life is such that, we always have things to do, and bring us down.

Answer 4

Man/w can have an exstatic experience one minute and curse his neighbour the next. It is the laws of the universe in my oppoinion. To doubt that you ever had an extatic experience is good because it keeps one humble.These experiences mean we touch the parallel psychic world only occasionaly.

Answer 13

Do you want the scientific reason, or the philosophical rambling? There is a difference. Only problem is, we know so very little about the brain, despite all the advances in the past 20 years. So no matter what answer I give, it is based on theory. And no matter which theory you desire, there are too many factors in play which are unknown to give an accurate explanation.

Simple answer then. Life is all about balance. Tip the scale one way or the other and things are off balance. In your case, you feel that tip in the balance to a much greater degree because you are used to feeling content and happy (this doesn't include the minor everyday frustrations of course, like the wrong colour tile, the kid with the tattoo..ya know those type annoyances LOL!)

Answer 14

It keeps us thinking, Lee.  Same way one minute

you can hate the entire world, but then be soothed

Answer 15

Because life, like the ocean, has many waves. Ride the waves, sometimes you will be on top sometimes not, but you will have adventures none the less.
