No, what I’m telling you is that because your goal is evidently not to enjoy life no matter what — you’d rather feel morose and listless and frustrated at times — your solutions (withdrawal) are of no relevance to someone whose goal is to enjoy life no matter what (bien dans ma peau and joie de vivre).
It is a such simple thing, no?
- jdbernard 10y agoYou really are presumptuous, aren't you? OK. Let's assume my goal is not to be morose and listless, but to enjoy life no matter what. What is your suggestion?
- sridca 10y ago> You really are presumptuous, aren't you? Indeed not, and the irony of you asking the question is not lost on me. I am not telling you what to do (thereby failing to observe the limits of what is permitted or appropriate) — your goal is evidently not to enjoy life no matter what (you’d rather feel morose and listless and frustrated at times) — rather I’m conveying that what you, the nihilists and the spiritualists are doing (withdrawal) is a second-rate solution for the purpose of enjoying life no matter what. Is it really that difficult to grasp such a simple thing? > Let's assume my goal is not to be morose and listless, but to enjoy life no matter what. What is your suggestion? To not withdraw, of course, as a reaction to stress is not the same as a solution to (ending of) it.
