You realize most people don't think religion is evil? How could others come to a completely different conclusion than you? It's because of self deception. They believe an interpretation of religion that best fits their lifestyle. That's the point. You didn't do that.
>I think people fight very hard to ignore death, that's why existential moments find them in bed at night or when they are alone and quiet with their thoughts.
No you're just projecting. I think people nearer to death fight this thought. But people farther from death easily don't think about it. It's easy for most people not to think about it at all... but not when it's constantly thrown in their face. That's why your friend got pissed at u You're basically exposing his self-deception. He doesn't want to think of that shit.
I think if you want to make yourself happier you need to get stupider. Stop thinking about these things. Distract yourself with something you can get lost with so you can't think about things. Surround yourself with yes-men who lie to you, avoid the truth.
- fellowniusmonk 3y agoVery good advice :) and that's fair, avoidance isn't necessarily hard work. And, as it turns out I'm perfectly content these days if that didn't come through in my first post. We're all already so stupid by default... if we really stop and admit it to ourselves, even the smartest among us barely know anything at all. I find that extraordinarily exciting, I'm glad I was born during a hockey stick period of growth in knowledge and technology.
