Life getting painfully longer



Washington- Statistics released earlier this week show that while life expectancy is increasing, so does the amount of pain a person experiences. Or, in other words, life sucks and may not be worth living.

The findings have many people asking if life is even worth the pain. With the myriad of diseases and health complications out there, people are questioning the point in delaying the inevitability of death.

“Well, I know that I’m gonna die. And due to recent reports, the odds are pretty good it’s going to be a long and painful one. I can’t enjoy life knowing I have to look forward to so much misery…..(*BANG!, thud*),” said the late Kyle Pearson (1976-2006).

The study was a trying one for the experts involved, as the analysis took longer than expected. As results became clearer of the increased pain associated with life, 20 of the researchers also opted to kill themselves, rather than roll the dice of pain.

The publication of the study has prompted follow-up research, as experts believe that the public’s reaction has altered the initial findings. Since the study has been released, there have been a reported 500,000 suicides, thus, potentially bringing the life expectancy average from 80 back down to 39.
