Oh I don't know. Maybe the common dismissal here on HN of any positive outlook or belief in oneself as being the result of naivete and lack of life experience. That in time they will resign themselves to realize that they are as useles

So religion tries to reduce guilt. Well I guess I learn something totally new every day... Admittedly I'm not familiar with Judaism except through the limited view of the Bible and comparing it to Christianity.

People try to be happy because they intrinsically want to be happy. Not because being happy matters after you're dead -- obviously you're not in a state to be happy after you're dead. At least not in this world. Why do people
