i really dont understand why people fall for philosophies that makes them miserable.

why be a nihilist if it makes life feel bleak, directionless, and generally less appealing? why look up to men who themselves were miserable instead of looking up to people who were happy and fulfilled like hugh heffner and john lennon? why be an angry righty guy meanwhile lefties are dancing in the street in a state of ecstasy?

is your choice in philosophy not really a choice? that's about the only thing that would make sense to me.
