How can I be happy knowing that the world is rotten and all it's pleasures are ultimately unfulfilling?
>>33917819Become evil, problem solved
>>33917819Divert your attention away from all the injustices in the world, made up ones and not, that's out of your control. Try and bring some good to yourself and others locally if you find it fulfilling. >>33917847If you're not born a psychopath who quite literally can't feel empathy since birth then this will make you even more miserable in the long run and now with soul crushing guilt to boot, I would know, which I'm trying to atone for
>>33917819Realize you made a rotten unfulfilling world, and were quite possibly encouraged and lead into doing that, and resolve to do better.
Turn to God (un ironically)
>>33917819Just cope. Distract yourself from the bad. Find a good relationship(I mean love) and friends, and do something that makes you happy. Could be anything.

>>33918813Then why did you insert one where it didn't belong? Sinner!
>>33917819The world isn't rotten, it's your mind that's focuses too much on negativity. Mostly because you are bombarded by it if you watch any media.

>>33917819"Blow up your TV, throw away the paper, move to the country, build you a home. Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches, try and find jesus on your own." I'm not a religious man, but John Denver had it right.When I'm sad I go hug my wife, pet my dog or cook my family a tasty meal. I used to spend too much time angry at the world, accepting that it's not my place to change it brought me a lot of peace.

>>33919202You can cook yourself good food, go pet animals at shelters and go on dates. You can spend time with loved ones, learn something new and enjoy fresh air and singing birds.Only held back by your mindset.
