Ligotti's and Schopenhauer's premises require the identification of pain with bad. Yes, of course if you consider pain the definition of bad, life is undesirable. But if this were the case, that bad and pain are synonymous, then Brave New World would seem like a utopia. However our soul, or perhaps our spirit, instinctively recoils from it as abominable. Why is this? Because pain is not the same as bad. Pain can be bad or good.

Aye, Ligotti's take seems to be straightforwardly the result of his clinical anhedonia - makes for some uniquely affecting atmospheric prose, but not much further.

Tell me about Islam anon, would it actually help me start a family? I'd like that, but as a poor Ameriburger it doesn't look likely in the near future.
