Good philosophy (free of contradictions or agendas) eventually boils down to either: 1) Berkeley (positive); 2) Schopenhauer (negative); or 3) Parmenides (philosophy is impossible as it would violate the unity of Being). If it doesn't, then there are kinks, interpretations, or contradictions that need to be worked out before the big picture falls into place. Change my mind.

Women can not write books, they are too infantile and sentimental to grasp the very essence and tragedy of existence. Instead of portraying things with an air of grandeur and dignitas, they write empty platitudes and sentimental nonsense.
Worthless is what I have to say, pay them no mind.

ON THE SUFFERINGS OF THE WORLD.

>Unless suffering is the direct and immediate object of life, our existence must entirely fail of its aim. It is absurd to look upon the enormous amount of pain that abounds everywhere in the world, and originates in needs and necessities inseparable from life itself, as serving no purpose at all and the result of mere chance. Each separate misfortune, as it comes, seems, no doubt, to be something exceptional; but misfortune in general is the rule.
>I know of no greater absurdity than that propounded by most systems of philosophy in declaring evil to be negative in its character. Evil is just what is positive; it makes its own existence felt. Leibnitz is particularly concerned to defend this absurdity; and he seeks to strengthen his position by using a palpable and paltry sophism*. It is the good which is negative; in other words, happiness and satisfaction always imply some desire fulfilled, some state of pain brought to an end.
>This explains the fact that we generally find pleasure to be not nearly so pleasant as we expected, and pain very much more painful.
>The pleasure in this world, it has been said, outweighs the pain; or, at any rate, there is an even balance between the two. If the reader wishes to see shortly whether this statement is true, let him compare the respective feelings of two animals, one of which is engaged in eating the other.

>Translator’s Note, cf. Theod, sec. 153.—Leibnitz argued that evil is a negative quality—i.e., the absence of good; and that its active and seemingly positive character is an incidental and not an essential part of its nature. Cold, he said, is only the absence of the power of heat, and the active power of expansion in freezing water is an incidental and not an es-sential part of the nature of cold. The fact is, that the power of expansion in freezing water is really an increase of repul-sion amongst its molecules; and Schopenhauer is quite right in calling the whole argument a sophism.

A high level of dopamin/serotonin in blood=/=happiness. If you search for happiness at the intersection of pleasure and comfort, you will trick yourself into believe you have found the route to happiness and will thus content yourself with smiling at shadows whilst expecting them to smile back: they never will and niether will you

I am not a catholic nor even religious; however, that you presumed I am and riposted with an attack on a church I detest is cute, endearing even. I suspect that you possess some instinctual revulsion for virtuous behavior or hearing that others possess it even by coincidence. The scent emanating from your post is that of a midwit who rejects that which he cannot cultivate and belittles those that might possess it: fox and grapes?

Nonetheless, for future discussion I should tell you that virtue transcends religion and, perhaps, can even only truly be cultivated in its absence. How can you be virtuous if your intention is to cultivate virtue to avoid pain (like the modern catholic does)? What is your orientation to virtuous behavior?

Fact: If we shot every city (with infrastructure supporting 500,000+) into space along with city and suburb dwellers, the world's material problems would be solved implicitly. Every single ideological issues irrespective of its position on that ambiguous continuum is a problem with large cities and their denizens
