/lit/ - Literature

>>5044050

let me put it like this

>desire X
>suffer because you desire X
>finally acquire X
>be happy for a few moments
>go back to desiring something else
>desire Y
>suffer because you desire Y
>finally acquire Y
>be happy for a few moments
>go back desiring something else

How do you know for sure that other people are not robots? What if robots are programmed well enough to behave exactly like people?
