I listen to music when I ' m depressed . I enjoy smooth jazz and triphop . However , I disagree with the stance that life is about being happy and focusing on yourself . Those things are nice , sure , but I firmly believe in the saying that ignorance is bliss . If you ' re not pessimistic you ' re not paying attention . What is important is harnessing these feelings to fight for the well being of others . Embrace your pain and suffering and understand it ' s importance to action . Its important to feel happy . it ' s even more important to feel pain . Stay strong and never give up , comrade . <| sep |> I can ' t believe that this is even a choice that warrants any thought . <| sep |> I mean , at least they ' re consistent , right ?
