Current Events > Why is everything in life that's fun also considered immoral or looked down upon

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why can't people achieve this "fun" state from things that are more righteous, like math, science, working hard, doing calculations, writing reports, etc.?

I feel like someone's playing a very ironic joke on me here.

Depends on how you do it. You could get wasted and do trivia like those people in New Girl

Some do find those things fun.

to have fun is to let go of responsibility, showing irresponsibility to others who are acting responsible will make them angry

people have done/discovered maths and sciences in a fun way with no teacher telling them what to do,
but now we have to go to school on schedule, have to learn through books and take tests to see if we actually got the printed notes, get a job that has nothing to do with school and shit

I think I stumbled upon a grand piece of wisdom here, I doubt anyone on this board will care but here it is anyway:

-All creatures of this universe struggle through life to avoid pain & death.

-Until a creature achieves immortality there will always be hardship.

-The hardship comes because the creature is trying very hard (working physically &/or mentally) to achieve a state where it doesn't have to work so hard any more (e.g. immortality).

-If the creature is in a group of similar creatures (which is where the terms 'immorality' & 'looking down upon' come into play) & this group sees that one creature is actively doing something that is not contributing to the groups' common implied goal of achieving immortality (or at least a higher quality of life for the group), then the group will likely get upset.

-The word 'fun' usually means a creature is not on a specific path of working hard to achieve immortality. It usually involves doing something that is off of this path (e.g. relaxing, eating, watching something entertaining, etc.). Now doing this stuff a little bit specifically to relieve the strain from working hard is probably considered fine amongst a group, however, I wouldn't call that 'fun', I'd just call it recovering or resting. The instance of 'fun' comes into play when a creature is not resting from a hard days work (aka 'free time'), & it decides to do something that is usually kinetic in nature that excites it for some reason.

-'Fun' is usually kinetic in nature & usually involves doing stuff that is not physically or mentally laborious, slow, or boring.

-There may be some people who find math, science, working hard, doing calculations, writing reports, & stuff like this fun, however, they seem to be far & few between. It may just be a societal convention (an unspoken common way that people act in societies). This societal convention may have come about in various ways. I'm not actually sure how this one came about & I probably shouldn't point fingers.
