Not really. The truth is that if you're not naturally a happy person you never will be. The goal will always keep moving away from you faster than you run towards it. Doesn't matter how much money you make, how good looking you are, it's never enough.

Schopenhauer couldn’t have been miserable. He played the flute.

When people say money and bitches should make you happy that’s really telling of what they value. It also is telling of what you lack because when those two things are in abundance you began to understand the limits of the happiness they can bring.

money can't buy happiness

>> No.17764576

>>17764524
no, but it is what I did
All I need is to be rich and become handsome and then a few other things and I'll reach where I'll be happy

This all said pessimistic and happiness are two different things, even if and after I achieve what make me happy I will probably still live with the pessimistic expectation that it will all come crumbling down, never mind the pessimistic expectation I live with now that I'll never achieve it. If we're talking pessimism then yeah if you are not a naturally optimistic person you probably never will truly be. But happiness is quite variable I feel.

They overvalue it because they don't have it If they could experience it they would realize that like everything else, it's not enough. It's like being a kid and wanting an xbox but having to wait before your parents will buy it for you. You eventually get it and it feels great for a little while and then you inevitably get tired with it and want something else. Adults are the same but even worse.

Yes that is true, perhaps. Which is why money and handsomeness solves that problem, as it can get you basically everything you could ever want to get and is attainable. You buy the xbox, and it feels great fr a while, but you eventually get bored and want something else. Because you have money you can get something else and keep feeling great. Rinse and repeat until you die.

If you want some stupid shit like all the knowledge in the universe or to be the smartest person in the world or to be immortal or some other stupid shit that is impossible then you need to focus on getting a grip on reality before you worry about anything else. Yeah money won't make a difference to an insane man, I won't deny that.

so you want to live like some degenerate roman emperor? god want a nihilistic and infantile way of looking at things. you'll never be able to. you're just an average guy and so you can't put all your store in material satisfactions to make you happy. it's why people create art, write literature, play music. unless you're the worst kind of vapid cunt you'll want to do more in life than just keep consuming to keep yourself from committing suicide. also your looks will eventually fade, despite how desperately you try to prevent them from doing so. basically you have a very bad outlook, the outlook of a middle schooler, and i hope you grow out of it.

I'm on 4chan's literature board. But regardless, my mother and father are also fairly miserable people, as were most of my friends growing up. My investment banker cousin is also a miserable fuck with his fake tiddy medicated GF and nokidz, he's just buying more expensive toys than my dad's gadgets or my books.
The only happy person I know is my female leftie cousin who married down to a police officer and had three kids.
