Just pretend it isn't fucked up, MMM K?

NTA but I would say to that person that even if someone thought those things were all well and good (which isn't actually true anyways*), that to act like those things trump suffering is naive. Further, I would say that you can only say those silly things because you are fortunate enough to find yourself in a moment free from great suffering. Then, to drive the point home, push them into a giant blender and ask them after being diced up a bit if they still feel that way. If they remain resolute, turn the blender back on. Keep repeating this until you get the correct answer. The truth is that is does *mainly* reduce down to suffering. You can cope about it all you want, but at least have the decency to not bring a new life into this world so you can force your cope onto it too. It's not asking for it.

>life
Image a baby born without kidneys. It suffers and dies within ten minutes of being born. You would say it experiencing life was inherently good.
>the ability to experience the world
Brian was super excited to experience the world. Too bad he developed a non-operable brain tumor at the age of 16. I guess he'll just have to experience the world in a different way. A way that is now confined to a hospital bed and filled with confusion, pain, grief, dread, and terror before eventually lapsing into a state of dementia and choking on his own spit as his organs shut down. But hey, he got to experience the world in such a unique way at least, so all that must also be inherently good.
>emotions
Imagine a man who receives a head injury. He can now only experience an endless storm of rage and grief that leads to suicide. You would say that him experiencing those emotions was inherently good.
>to know other people, to have relationships with them
Imagine all the children who have been abducted by serial killers. It was sure nice for those kids to have the opportunity to get to know them and to experience the myriad fun things those nice gentlemen did to them before murdering them, right?

Why am I going through all this? To show you that things like experiencing life, emotions, other people etc. are not *inherently* good things. They *can* be good in certain scenarios for those who already exist, but they are not inherently good.

Yet still, you've already opened yourself. You can poke and prod as much as you like, but eventually someone will catch you, and if they really just hate you then regardless of how many precautions you take, they'll hurt you nonetheless. Most people however, don't retaliate, and eventually you'll stop being the victim and satisfy yourself with what you are. Not even if you actively harm someone are you assured of getting harmed back. You can convince everyone that you're worthless, including yourself, but still you will have to exist, and still you will have to endure. Death isn't an option, even graves can be dug up and disgraced. So feel that you're right regardless if you're wrong, because you're the only one that can change your mind. There will be pain, you will be hurt, and sometimes the scars won't heal. But you will continue to exist, wether as a distant memory or a living being

Yeah, he would be able to understand what beauty is, but i don't think it'd be able to experience the same and thereby react to it the same. OP is a fucking faggot tho, the fact that babies are born with their eyes closed proves that you can begin to experience anything should you be given the tools to do so. Humans are just their components, and there's nothing special about emotions or feelings.

>Anon, your book reads like an old man's writing from XIX century.

> allow other people's thoughts into your head for 6 hours a day

doesn't seem healthy. I guess non-fiction would make it okay, as long as it's not politics/philosophy

Please go take a shower and get your life together, you are unbearable

IT IS FAKE
ITS A FUCKING SKINSUIT LOOK AT HER ARMPIT

*is forgotten anyways*

Reactionary is such a stupid term. It's loaded right that implication that old = bad. Progressive is equally loaded, at if to imply that all of their policies are "progressing" towards something good. Absolute human idiocy.
Christians, Fascists, and Neoreactionaries are fucking retards. But IQ is real. I voted for Bernie Sanders but I know for a fact that Jews have a higher average IQ than Aboriginals, and are thus capable of more complex abstract thought. That's just fucking reality. Im "Reactionarying" to your gigantic propaganda apparatus. Reality is Real. Fucking KILL YOURSELVES
