From a higher point of view, one of the main eternal truths is this: on this earth, which most resembles a hellish prison where all living beings serve an unknown sentence, we are all brothers and companions, for we carry the same curse, we are victims of existence, of life itself. We are all afflicted by the infinite sufferings and misfortunes that plague this world. Our differences are merely apparent, for in our core, we are the same. We are, so to speak, brothers in suffering. We all derive from the same eternal, insatiable, irrational, and blind force. We are all Will.

To believe that we all suffer equally that our suffering is of equal intensity—is a colossal stupidity. If an individual’s intellectual and intuitive capacities prove to be of great preeminence, almost superior, then there lies the perfect condition to grasp and feel, in their full magnitude, the pains and torments of existence, whether internal or external. The reverse also holds true: the more dull the individual, the lesser, so to speak, their capacity to suffer. Their sensitivity whether intuitive or intellectual is so low that only a great tragedy can affect them. Their existence is analogous to that of other, even more irrational, animals.

you are a gay nigger faggot. Now fuck off and kys.

One reason life might feel like a hellish prison to you is that you're posting the same thread on 4chan over and over. The answers you seek aren't here, Anon.

I literally expanded the text. It's not the same.

Does it feel different this time? Will it feel different the next?
Heroin addicts chase a dragon that they will never see again. You're chasing a dragon that was never here.

Yes, I corrected inconsistencies in the argument. If you didn't like it, you could just hide it, but no, you're still here testing my patience.

So much for 'brothers in suffering'

Ok let me write a "different" post that will "feel different" so we can switch this thread up:
One reason life might feel like a hellish prison to you is that you're posting functionally the same thread on 4chan over and over. The answers you seek aren't here, Anon.
Hmm I expanded the text and corrected an inaccuracy but ... doesn't feel too different. Or work differently. Or put either one of us into a new position. It's almost like "differences are merely apparent, for in [their] core, [they] are the same."

If you are determined that the answers you seek are intellectual and that your intellectual efforts are wisely invested on an image board, let's do it. Your entire first paragraph, doesn't contain a single argument, but does contain a single sentiment, one that begins to realize existential aspect of human existence, but one that resigns before grappling with it at all.
>If an individual’s intellectual and intuitive capacities prove to be of great preeminence, almost superior, then there lies the perfect condition to grasp and feel, in their full magnitude, the pains and torments of existence
This is a common trope. "I suffer because I'm just that developed" as though evolution optimizes intellect for misery. You're not miserable because you are high IQ. You are miserable because your IQ is disproportionate to your EQ. It's your high IQ that you formulate thoughts and arguments. It's your low EQ that you feel the need to project your feelings onto the world as such.

To leave you with an image, you wouldn't really complain to a friend "Oh woe is me, my eyesight is too good... I see so many ugly people. Folks with glasses don't understand my pain.". And if you did complain like this, it would likely only be once, since friends don't let friends wallow in self-inflicted misery.
