If you were paralyzed, mute, deaf, blind? You would not see or feel anything, so would you know you were alive? Would you be able to think with no language? And would your life suck?
Of course with these conditions can think...
That is easily todays dumbest question.
People who are deaf-blind do not necessarily lead their lives stuck in a chair, twiddling a stick. they have feelings, and they can communicate. Heck, some people in that situation are happy with their lives. Would they be happy if they had been able to once see? to be able to once speak? Probably not. but they know life like no other.
Without trying to push the boat too far, I suppose you could say the same for people living in areas of africa which are in civil-war. Because they know no other life, and because everyone they know and meet come from the same environment as they do, they aren't sad, I wouldn't go as far to say there would be happy. But like i say, they know no other life, thats how they live, and how they have always lived.
