Now what if you are incapable of having what you want? You need cope. But for me (and many other people) cope is unsuccessful in making you justify your despair

Because I am unhappy and incapable of having my desires met, so I need some significance to my suffering or else its just totally useless and the only reason left to continue living dissipates

I can't seriously believe in reincarnation or anything like that and I don't think it is actually possible for a human being to efface themselves of desire.

Living ill is living with no expressed purpose other than to pointlessly affirm life itself.

>Now what if you are incapable of having what you want?
theres plenty of things that i want but cant have. many of them are somewhat abstract and chronic, like my general dissatisfaction with society, but i turn that pain into a dream: i hope to one day live innawoods, and that hope, among other things, keeps me going

>>14526016
How did you come to the conclusion that you are not the self-deluding fool instead?
Can't accept your own envy directed at better lives?

>>14526517
I am of course jealous of them, doesn't change anything though. They are mired in cope and/or hedonism and I am not. But in either case, life is meaningless suffering and I am only envious of those who can forget that or ignore it

>>14526530
the only person coping here is you. youre so sad and bitter and dissatisfied with your life, and you think that theres something wrong with the very concept of living because surely the issue cant lie with you, that you are a person that is incapable of being happy because you romanticize being miserable and "woke"
unironically wash your penis

>>14526601
The problem is with me, but only partially. It is quite literally impossible for me to have what I truly want in life. There is nothing I can do about it. There is nothing I can do to forget or stop thinking about the fact that there is nothing I can do about it. That you think that this is impossible, to me, shows that you are a myopic person who probably thinks that the "world is your oyster" and other such truisms. That people can be totally broken and anhedonic by the nature of things never enters into your purview. Which is a good thing, just keep living in your own world; I hope you have a wonderful and fulfilling life in it. There's no need to venture out of it and claim mine isn't real.

>>14526621
i dont believe that its impossible for you to be happy, i believe that youve only convinced yourself of this
but i dont know you, or your life, and maybe it really is true (if you have enough resources to post here?) but you shouldnt judge people as being hedonistic or coping just because they enjoy their lives, thats myopic of you, thinking that if you cant be satisfied then people who are must be broke in the head or less intelligent or whatever

>>14526661
I never meant "cope" or "hedonism" as negative things, or else I would not have attributed my inability to engage in those things as a negative. But they are what they are. They are necessary to enjoyment in a world which is full of nothing but transient things. I don't think I am superior or that they are stupid. Plenty of people more intelligent than I am are capable of enjoying life. It is just the way I am wired, it is just the way my life has been decided by my birth that I am doomed to live an unsatisfying miserable life. That's it. It's rooted in a genetic disease which nothing can cure. For me, the OP is true I would have been better of never being born, never being conscious. And I wish I could die sooner, but suicide does nothing but displace your pain onto others which in my mind, is unfair

>>14526707
define "cope"

If it's so irrefutable why didn't that old cunt kill himself. Also I hope you're hanging already op since you believe this is irrefutable

>>14526016
Only people who have never lived the good life perjure it insignificant. Whether the how of it can be taught is another matter. Sometimes yes. But to whom it can't, introspection is poison. This is the most important difference between temperaments that I know of.
