> 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.
