Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I mean, is it though? Not really getting any joy out of people in poverty and dying in war
Yes, because there are also other things than that...?
Yes. Why would you look for joy in war and poverty? Sounds pretty detrimental.
The point is,how can I be happy when there's at least one person in the world suffering? Like me being happy will just not fix all the world's problems. It seems rather selfish to be happy in a world where not everyone is. If you're happy then you're ok with the state of the world which is war and poverty
That sounds like you may need to see a doctor. It sounds more like clinical depression.
This is not a healthy way to approach the world and won't help anyone, including you or the people you're talking about.
