Brainlet early 20yo detected. If you want to be happy it's not that hard. If you want to be an edgy neet though that's arguably easier.

You must relax.

No one ever is .
I had a friend once, he has become very popular in high school, got many girls, lots of friends, was born in a rich family, very smart, great personality...
I thought he was so lucky, not a worry in the world and a gorgeous life, just hanging out with fine chicks, drinking and doing drugs with his friends.
On the other hand I've always had few friends in my life, my family is classic middle class with a loan to pay, quite unlucky with women and I can't say my future looks bright .
To be completely honest I can't name 3 people I consider good friends...

Last night we went out for dinner with some acquaintances and talked over a drink.
It's clear that drugs and booze became a problem and he's as clueless as I am about his future, he truly looked unhappy and frightened.

I don't hate him, maybe I hate myself but I can't help it.

In my opinion, one reason people are no longer happy is they reject the reality of moral dualism. To make this example clearer, I recommend the picture book Little Beaver and the Echo. Understand how such a picture book is Spenta Mainyu manifested.

It is important to understand the nature of both Ahura Mazda's light and Ahriman's darkness in life while privileging the former.

Is OP being a believer in zoroastrism a known fact, or why are you making a comparison using this (over here at least) rather unknown religion?

>>13285067
OP said he will never be happy, so I explained what leads to happiness.
>unknown religion
Well, I am a Saoshyant and offer one viable path towards Asha.

>I’ll never be happy.
You, of course, can be happy any moment you decide to be so. To desire is to suffer, that's why you try without expecting any outcome. Sadly it seems to be more of a pleasing others kind of thing.

massive cope
your friend is wrestling with "weltschmerz" while sitting in a benz, you are just another doomer with no future. your friend would probably rather kill himself than be like you.

I did this and it just made me more misogynistic and sad

>>13285086
Apologies if what I said offended you. I was just surprised to see anyone reference anything related to zoroastrism here, since the only religious people I've seen here are zealous christians.

I am not an Orthodox Zoroastrian. My own particular mystical views are inspired by both Zarathustra's Gathas and various Buddhist sutras.

My view is that one should heavily immerse his mind in both artwork of light + darkness and to choose the former. However, it is necessary to know both deeply. Artwork of spenta expresses the light of generosity, wisdom, loving-kindness, and other positive qualities, which emanates from Ahura Mazda in the higher realms. Artwork of angra expresses the darkness of greed, hatred, delusion, and other negative qualities, which emanates from Ahriman in the lower realms. They are in continuous struggle.

god i wish that were me

Read high-quality children's literature or picture books and transpose your sense of self into them. "Become" the artwork of light temporarily as you immerse into it. Afterwards, try to bring as much "light" as you can from such artwork into your own life (e.g., donating to humane societies, starting a nice garden, etc.)

I think so too.
Nobody would want to be in my place but I don't care, I'm just filling gaps inbetween each day until I die.

just bee yourself

As Pascal says the human condition consists of seeking happiness and fame and never being satisfied. Just accept it and maybe you can be content.
