The whole world can be divided into a few major groups of people:
Firstly, about 78% of the people lead their lives without wondering if their lives are worth living;
about 21% of the people thought about it, but assume that their lives are generally worth living;
0.9% of the people know that it is hard to justify the worth of their lives, but think that they have found the reasons where most people have failed;
0.1% thinks that all the above people are in denial.
p.s. I made the statistics up by the way.
For believe me! — the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships into uncharted seas! Live at war with your peers and yourselves! Be robbers and conquerors as long as you cannot be rulers and possessors, you seekers of knowledge! — Nietzsche, The Gay Science
