>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 9 10:09:46 2019 No.14317128 >>14317078 I agree. Even pessimism is a cope.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 9 10:10:59 2019 No.14317134 >>14317109 It's a more honest cope, but it's still a cope. Any philosophy that tells you "this is how you should live your life, this is what's good for you, this is how you minimize suffering" and so on is a cope.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 9 10:25:26 2019 No.14317195 >>14317134 I can understand that. I dont see philosophy as an absolute way to live life, but moreso as a way to enrich one's life. I just love reading the different insights and picking the ideas that I can get behind and applying them to my own life.
