I hate it when people use the "life would be boring" excuse. This only applies to the "what if heaven existed" argument because that is eternal.

You don't even know how much sense you did by saying that.

Life would be very boring without War and such suffering.
if you look at it from my perspective, Life is like a coin and it has "Two" sides...
on one side there is good, and on the other side there is bad...
if one were to Disappear then the other would collapse under all the weight.

though it's probably wise to say it's boring without war and suffering I think that we will never really know for sure what it's like. I know the human race finds things to do even without certain elements already, and I believe we would all find SOMETHING to do even without the progression of technology because of war and people suffering.

/changed opinion.

Life without technology wouldn't be the same in my own opinion, it would be like taking a chicken in the farm from grazing and putting them in a metal cage so that all it can do is lay eggs all day...
surely you wouldn't enjoy that kind of life day in day out until the day you die, would you?

We have these human-made things called games and competition. Not all struggles must be for outright survival. (Of course, when a game becomes too realistic it becomes as important as survival. But then we can make nested games!)
There's also something called discovery that any scientist lives their life for.

I can live without video games an such, it's just life isn't as fun without it because traveling costs a lot of money and there are a lot of diseases and messed up places out there. I'm actually afraid of the world from past experiences...

and if we lost all our technology... we would be back to square one, killing each other over food and water etcetera

"it's just life isn't as fun without it because traveling costs a lot of money"

Considering that cost is largely made-up by society, you've just agreed with my point.

We'd all be robots in my opinion. All those bad crimes and types of suffering stem from emotions do they not? I mean asking for that would be to remove our emotions and sense of expression. Even animals suffer and fight, a world like that would have to rob us of anything emotion based.
