life itself

The first thing that came to my mind when I read this question was <life itself>. I know this answer at first may seem cringe, unoriginal and maybe even foolish, after all there is much more to life that what one likes and what makes one feel alive but I ask of you all to hear me out. Think about it. Starting from most basic examples, we wouldn't be able to see stars without darkness, how much more do we appreciate a good lunch if we skipped breakfast, how much more joy do we get from getting a good grade if we really put in the work and not just cheat ourselves out of it. How much more one starts to appreciate the good after facing the bad for so long. I don't like to see the world as black and white even thought I do it way too much, I am working on it. Life is a spectrum and that's what I love most about it. It is a mystery, a thrill, frustration, boredom, excitement, joy, sadness, etc. I could go forever. Life is a living paradox. I emphasize this statement. It's not enough just to say it is a paradox, because even the tension between the opposites changes, the only thing, as many philosophers would agree, that in non-changing is change itself. That's what I love about the world, even though I'm complaining about it sometimes since not only bad things but also the good ones do always change but again, that's the way it is and I choose to imagine the Sisyphus happy, for Albert Camus must have know more about this life then I do. Whereas for what makes me feel alive my answer can again be viewed as a little obscure, foggy or not concrete enough, I find the feeling of being alive ontologically connected with amazement, things/people/experiences/places/etc. that light up the spark of desire in me for either resolving the mystery or just making me admire the unresolvable beauty of it and being in peace with this state of mine. Those are the things/people/experiences/places/etc. that make me realize the amazing side to life.

The first thing that came to my mind when I read this question was <life itself>.

We don't use angle bracket quoting in English. You could use quotation marks, but they're not needed here.

I know this answer at first may seem cringeworthy, unoriginal and maybe even foolish, after all there is much more to life thatlike what one likes and what makes one feel alive but I ask of you all to hear me out.

"cringe" is a very casual/slangy word, and the rest of this piece is written very formally, so it doesn't really fit.

Starting from most basic examples, we wouldn't be able to see stars without darkness, h. How much more do we appreciate a good lunch if we skipped breakfast, h? How much more joy do we get from getting a good grade if we really put in the work and nodon't just cheat ourselves out of it.?

These hypotheticals read better as separate sentences since they're posed as questions to the reader

How much more does one starts to appreciate the good after facing the bad for so long.?

I don't like to see the world as black and white - even thought I do it way too much, I am working on it.

The "even though I do it way too much" as you originally had it is ambiguous about whether it's connected to the first clause or the last clause. It doesn't read well to do both, so I used some punctuation to separate it from the first clause a bit more so it combines with the third clause.

I could go on forever.

I really need to emphasize this statement.

"I emphasize this statement" on it's own just says you routinely emphasize it, which just sounds unnatural in the middle of your flow. I think the intention is to focus the reader on the fact that you're going to emphasise with your upcoming sentence(s), and "I really need to emphasise X. <more sentences about X>" is a common phrase in persuasive writing, so I changed it to use that.

It's not enough just to say it is a paradox, because even the tension between the opposites changes, the only thing, as many philosophers would agree, that ins non-changing is change itself.

That's what I love about the world, even though I'm complaining about it sometimes since not only do the bad things always change but also the good ones do always change b. But again, that's the way it is and I choose to imagine the Sisyphus happy, for Albert Camus must have known more about this life thean I do.

Sisyphus is a person's name so doesn't take "The".

Whereasile for "what makes me feel alive" my answer can again be viewed as a little obscure, foggy or not concrete enough, I find the feeling of being alive ontologically connected with amazement, things/people/experiences/places/etc.

Pretty good overall!
