14-05-2014 There is actually a hidden positive in unhappiness/suffering: it clears the vision. To see the true nature of life is a curiously satisfying experience; not unlike the discovery of a beautiful equation. It elicits a joy – not the steam-obscured, hot joy of the religious or the masochistic – but a cold joy at the contemplation of truth. Which is dangerous for the dedicated antinatalist.To digress, I remember you saying that you do not read fiction, but I wonder if you have ever examined Gore Vidal’s novel Messiah? It champions death over life, although Vidal clearly intended it more as a general parody and critique of religion rather than a reference to anything specific. |
