>implying calling the "will to live" something else resolves the problems inherent in personal existence.

Premise 1: Privations are not qualities in themselves
Premise 2: appetites are privations
Premise 3: It is necessary for there to be appetites (in the form of wants needs and impulses) for there to be personal being

-Harm is the privation of Benefit just as Bad is the privation of Good
-A Being can be benefitted or harmed on the basis of its personal wants, needs and impulses (whatever those may be) being either fulfilled or exacerbated respectively
-A maximization of benefit is the fulfillment and nullification of the entire record of wants needs and impulses
-A being without appetites fails to be a personal being (premise 3)
-The maximization of benefit engenders a condition already satisfied in the non-existence of a personal being
-therefore to come into existence is also to be harmed

Actually that whole idea of third world happiness is something of a myth. The happiest countries are fully developed socialist states like Finland. Furthermore there is a simple explanation why someone whose hopes and dreams are still tangible things like security and food can be happy. For the first world we're barely holding onto the cliffside by these weeds of "muh fulfillment" or "muh true love" and we're quickly realizing how the will constantly games us by overwhelming us with this disconsolate feeling even when all our needs and wants are accounted for..

I was an atheist and reached this conclusion. The best way to mitigate hedonic disutility is to simply not exist.
