Christianity is a death cult. Catholicism especially.
But you can (and maybe you should) find happiness in Christ's words.

Believing in God is too hard. I just can’t bring myself to believe in miracles.

Elaborate on that?

>> No.20081208

just look at the Stanford Philosophical Encyclopedia for Hope.
since that is clearly what you are reaching for.

But it is hard OP I admit.
the two movements we got out of the world wars and the napoleonic wars were the surrealist and the existential movement, and other than some new age revivals a work that revives the human spirit has been rare.
and even more rare in book form.
most of the media that makes people feel good about themselves have lately been music, movies and video games.
The Celestine Prophecy, The Four Agreements, Ishamel, The Alchemist, The way of the epaceful warrior, Joshua,The Book of Enoch, Prometheius Rising.

There are some writers whose works emanate pure love for our fellow humans, who always bring inmense joy to my heart whenever I read them, even if they can seem dark at times.
One of them is definitely Dostoevsky, others are Kipling, Stevenson, Plautus, Kazantzakis... but above everyone else is Cervantes. His works are the product of overwhelming bonhomie, the purest soul amongst the great writers.
