Life is a party.

haha I am having fun as well. ok so the first point that my opponent makes, says that while life CAN be a social gathering, it is not in every case. He says he has times when he is alone and solitary. AS DO WE ALL. right now, i'm not crowded among tons of people in my room.... that would be weird. Though we have our moments of solidarity, we as humans still must interact with each other in order to survive. No human completely isolates themselves completely. They would die. In life, as my opponent has agreed to, we do interact and meet with others. My opponent however, did not refute my point that we are gathered in sooo many ways. And interact through all of them. This is why we even have a language, and soooo many ways of communication. So why not communicate happily? my opponent says that it is "unhealthy". haha. one of the most false claims on this site. (well, maybe thats an exaggeration...) anyway, here is why it is false. from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (DOI: 10.1073/pnas.0409174102): People who are happier in their daily lives have healthier levels of key body chemicals than those who muster few positive feelings, a new study suggests. This means happier people may have healthier hearts and cardiovascular systems, possibly cutting their risk of diseases like diabetes. Previous studies have shown that depression is associated with health problems compared to average emotional states. But few studies have looked at the effects of positive moods on health. Now, researchers at University College London, UK, have linked everyday happiness with healthier levels of important body chemicals, such as the stress hormone cortisol. "This study showed that whether people are happy or less happy in their everyday lives appears to have important effects on the markers of biological function known to be associated with disease," says clinical psychologist Jane Wardle, one of the research team. "Perhaps laughter is the best medicine," she adds. and from AfterLifeNews: A happy heart just might be a healthier one as well, new research suggests. In a study of nearly 3,000 healthy British adults, lead by Dr. Andrew Steptoe of University College London, found that those who reported upbeat moods had lower levels of cortisol -- a "stress" hormone that, when chronically elevated, may contribute to high blood pressure, abdominal obesity and dampened immune function, among other problems. In the study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, women who reported more positive emotions had lower blood levels of two proteins that indicate widespread inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is believed to contribute to a range of ills over time, including heart disease and cancer. Researchers have long noted that happier people tend to be in better health than those who are persistently stressed, hostile or pessimistic. My opponent says "by all means, don't party all your life..." He is making partying seem like its going out and drinking and getting high. WE BOTH HAD DEFINITIONS OF PARTY THAT DO NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO THIS. Above, I have proved tons of medical benefits to happiness. Of course, its ok to cry sometimes. Everyone does it!!! But as i observed in my first argument, life should be LOOKED AT as a party. If people have a positive outlook on life, they are still fully able to cry when a grandparent dies. and also, my opponent claims it to be "unhealthy" to be even somewhat joyous when a family member or friend dies. These things happen. They are undeniable and we cannot do anything about them. Personally, when I have my funeral, I want people to be joyous. I'm sure they might be somewhat sad, but I would much rather for them to be happy with the wonderful life that I had, and be happy with how i touched them personally. He proceeds to say, "do the healthy thing- vote con." Voting con would mean that you DONT think life should be celebrated, and you think that we should just sit in our own sorrows (clinging to our little teddy bears), and not seeing things opptimistically. I've proven above from several researched studies how CON will give you/ increase your diabetes, Cancer, high blood pressure, etc. healthy? I think not! If you agree, vote pro. Even more so, if you want to avoid cancer, be happy, celebrate, and stop crying in a corner with your little teddy bear, then vote pro. your turn!!! sorry about the teddy bear jokes draxxt haha
