People need to learn how to suffer. That's how we stay human. Otherwise we are all the same. There is no way to end suffering, because everyone is 100% different in every way. If something like this were implemented, everyone would be the same, as they would want to achieve the same goals, want the same type of feelings, we'd all be like robots, programmed to do one specific thing, and that's to be happy. But what if that thing that suposedly makes you happy, doesn't really make you happy, or anyone else happy for that matter?

We don't know our purpose in life, we don't know our history, whether it be creation, or evolution, or both, or something completely different. We should stop worrying about why we need to live, and just live. The power of will is in every human being on this earth, and no program like this could change or enhance that. Of course I want to end world hunger, of course I want a cleaner planet, but this is going way beyond that. This plan or whatever you want to call it, is wanting to completely control peoples REAL emotions so that they can no longer feel bad about anything. So, what happens when a person murders another, who is controlled by this substance? They feel happy?

Without pain and suffering, there is no happiness. There are 2 sides to the pole. Even in the first part of that document it tells about bipolar people. For lightness, there is darkness, for rich, there's poor. For good there's bad. Ifyou take one out of the equation, the other one goes as well. This means, NO FEELING AT ALL.

Lifeless robots. Who could live like that? Not being able to be happy or sad or angry or guilty or any other emotion you could think of? This hedonistic bs has bad news written all over it.
