Why do people take life so seriously?

The problem with advice like "Do what makes you feel good" - is that its open to interpretation.

Lets say i enjoy doing something that hurts others. Or perhaps something that the law says i cant do, or even something id like to be able to do one day but do not possess the ability to do.

It is a very broad statement.

Nobody here is saying go kill people because it gives you an adrenaline rush. Simply that, live your life man without society saying what is and is not acceptable in their eyes. You likes that ring in your lip but that job won't take you? Tell them to screw off. You know what I mean? Life is too short to deal with petty small stuff.

Its not so much people worry too much as it is that people simply worry about the wrong things. Things that society and propaganda tell them to fret over.

No one pays mind to real problems.

But, taking life seriously is like everything else--there must be a balance.

You can't be too paranoid to live your life, and you can't be too reckless. Gotta be somewhere in the middle.
