>human's brains are designed to solve problems and thus there will always be dissatisfaction
>in other words, if we don't have any problems, our brains will create them
>therefore, there's no point on creating anything good and humans should seek out suffering instead
I know this sounds like babby's first nihilism, but this has always legitimately frightened me. I'm starting to think the reason i'm so mentally ill is because of my sheltered youth disconnected from all legitimate suffering or struggle and simply sidestepping or blissfully ignoring the closest i had to problems, and even trying to make up for it nowadays by being less of a bitch and trying to face adversity now, the damage is already done and i'm still affected by crippling chronic rare mental illness.
Do you guys believe passivity and a lack of suffering can cause mental illness, or other similar stuff? Is the only way to solve this going Brave New World and inventing real life Soma?
