/lit/ - Literature

Did learning about philosophy and reading the work of great thinkers make you happier?

I just had a dream where I felt the same sense of carefreeness I used to feel as a kid. I had no questions or anxieties about the world, only hope for the future, and a sense of excitement about everything. It made me realize that, for all I've learned, no philosopher or author has ever made me happier or feel more "complete". All the knowledge I've accumulated has served to raise even more questions and fuel my doubt.
Do you feel differently, /lit/?
