Many thinkers (or most of them) defined life as suffering, but I don't see it that way.

These thoughts came to my mind right now while observing children playing and adults chattering and having a good time in this beautiful sunny day.

The problem is that we consciously or unconsciously bring (or even seek) suffering. Boredom is a form of suffering, since we can't endure boredom we make many mistakes that make us suffer; such as doing drugs, pointlessly arguing with your partner over money. Even seeking the meaning of life, depending on how much time you spend on it, can be defined as suffering that you brought to you. No one forces you to read Philosophy.

I do believe in Devils, but not the Devils of the Bible, but the Devil called Suffering.
I think life itself is NOT suffering. I think we humans make it seems so. We waste our time bickering with one another over pointless and trivial things. People who are always on the edge, people who want to do harm are irrational people with low intellect. People get angry and break things when they lose a match in a fucking video-game. What a stupidity and waste of energy!

>but what about death
Well, it's inevitable, whether you like it or not. Humans naturally fear the unknown, unfamiliar things, That's why we have a limited number of people who share our house with us. That's why most people feel certain discomfort around people of different ethinicties and religions.

>but what about loneliness
You isolate yourself because your ego tricks you. It makes you think the so-called common people are alien to you, even though they're just humans. You don't hate people, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE.
Go out. Talk to people. I'm sure you can fit in with the so-called common people through an effort that's not even that great. With time you'll start to like them and find some things in common.

>but what about boredom
Don't make the mistake many people commit by indulging in extremely hedonistic activities to escape boredom. Create, paint, play a guitar. If you lack the the talent for these things (as I do) spend your time with Art. Literature, Music, Films, Paintings. Study something to keep your mind occupied. But you NEED to talk to people. Don't isolate yourself. Chattering is the most effective way to kill boredom if you're chattering with the right person. Find a partner, a girlfriend.

>but what about emptiness
Emptiness...Why can't you leave me alone? Nature, why did you make me so rational?
The Devil (suffering) that torments me is emptiness. I try to fight it by dancing. Yes , dancing in my room while listening to music.
And I'll be the totally honest with you guys; I also take two pills of Zoloft right after waking up to keep the Devil Emptiness at bay. That's how I can enjoy life, write these words and do things.

Approach life without too much expectation. Enjoy things, but don't be like some users from /mu/ who try to find flaws in albums, even the ones that are extremely satisfying.

yet you need to go to work every day until you die. If you think you don't you're highly delusional and rely on anecdotes told by non-standard humans. 99% of people MUST work.

I love my life from 17:00, but i hate it for 10 hours a day when I have to work.

"do what you love and you won't have to work a day in your life", well i like to read (not write reviews or books or anything at all), watch movies (also, not talk about them or write, just watch them), exercise (not teach people how to do it, just do things with my body to stay sharp) and eat (not talk about food or write about it). What should my job be so that I'd like it?

Deep down? It's right on the surface, buddy.

your "change of perspective" thing is meaningless too. you are suffering because deep down you know it. you are suffering. stop saying hypocrital shit like life is not suffering because you are dancing alone in your room. just admit it. you rely on your psychologis to convince you that you are sick. but they are liying to you. you are suffering and zoloft is drugs to avoid it like all the hedonistic shit you are criticizing in your post.

are you inexperienced with dating?

I remember feeling like that when I was like 20. But I'm 28 now and I feel almost no anxiety at all about dating.

Trust me, they are probably more nervous than you in that they can legit fear being raped / killed / whatever

you are literally antrophomorcally demonizing suffering. you are so afraid of suffering you get two mczoloft a day and try to rationalize the suffering like a devil in order to have your fantasy world where life is not suffering. you are a coward. you dont see yourself in clarity because you are a coward. your advices are shit because of that.
life have suffering. you are avoid knowing it like you avoid sugar alcohol and junk food.
the meaningless of things make you suffer, and you know it. you are sedating yourself consciously to avoid it. just admit it.

The Universe is the Practical Joke of the General at the Expense of the Particular, quoth FRATER PERDURABO, and laughed.
But those disciples nearest to him wept, seeing the Universal Sorrow.
Those next to them laughed, seeing the Universal Joke.
Below these certain disciples wept.
Then certain laughed.
Others next wept.
Others next laughed.
Next others wept.
Next others laughed.
Last came those that wept because they could not see the Joke, and those that laughed lest they should be thought not to see the Joke, and thought it safe to act like FRATER PERDURABO.
But though FRATER PERDURABO laughed openly, He also at the same time wept secretly; and in Himself He neither laughed nor wept.
Nor did He mean what He said.

Of course I'm demonizing Suffering.
Don't be like Nietzsche. Suffering is the Devil.
You need to know how to suffer properly. Do a sport. Study things that are unpleasent. The Devil suffering will feel weak and powerless once you've overcome it without destroying yourself.
