I totally get it now

When you are young, you have hopes and dreams. You've been told by liars that you can do anything. As you get older, you realize that those hopes and dreams aren't going to come true, and many people get bitter about it.

It's a poor way of living your life. It's better to embrace the good in your life and share it with others. Spiritual faith helps greatly in maintaining this positive attitude, which not only makes others happier around you, but makes you happy.

Without spiritual faith a man must build his own positive, constructive philosophy of life, and most men are not equal intellectually to this task. It's much easier and less intellectually challenging to embrace the simplicity and materialism of nihilism and atheism. It takes deep meditation over a span of years to go beyond that on your own, and come out the other side.

I would suggest to anyone who finds themselves so brainwashed by popular culture that they are unable to believe in a God or embrace an existing religion to turn to Greek philosophy, which may provide a workable alternative, although one that is more limited.

Symptoms of a jewish society with fake money and (((billionaires))).

I remember when Trump got elected and the first year he was in, many people were enthusiastic. This was all due to the nationalism spirit.

If we had no kikes and a currency based on labor with nationalism, many people would be much happier.

I think my Christian world view has helped tremendously. I'm angry about some things , but you should be angry about some things.

That being said I still love sunsets , the birds singing , children's laughter. Sounds like a faggot personal ad ,but I really thank God for those things.

I struggle with doubt and hopelessness at times , but deep down believe God is good , long-suffering , but also just , will not be mocked forever.

As the Bible says “with much knowledge comes much grief”.

It’s basically the opposite side of “ignorance is bliss.”

The older you get, you know more. You don’t buy the bullshit and you see things for what they are. So yeah, thinks are fucked up and it makes you angry once you realize it.

And I concur, some things you should be angry about. There is such a thing as righteous anger. God certainly has it, and as one of his image bearers, so do you. You’re supposed to.

The thing that’s difficult is learning what to do with it and not let it poison you.

To your prescient point, those that buy the lie of modernity that is unfettered rationality and the arrogance of atheism may find their own long haul moral foundation and framework lacking. Hell, even the mighty Nietzsche hisownself could not rise to the lofty heights of his conceptual Übermensch after proclaiming that God is dead (And we killed him. And there would never be enough water to wash the blood from our hands). Instead, he sank into a madness of the detached bliss of stupor.

As do I. There is simply so much to be angry and miserable about.

When I was young I was sold the lie completely. By the time I was 20 I was an active agent of slack and mischief. Around 30 the veil lifted and I regretted it so much. Now I am in between worlds, full of judgement and doubt, about my peers and myself, trying to make my way out of the weeds and into the fields of my ancestors.

The world is getting objectively inferior as we age and my younger self thought the opposite would happen.

You can be angry, but it's not really productive. I don't look back and think my best decisions occured when I was angry.

But I get it

That doesnt make it okay to bring down others though. I'm miserable too, but I hide it around other people. Just because I'm miserable doesnt mean I have to be a dick to others like the coworkers you're talking about. Idk why it's so hard for them to grasp this concept though.

I do my best to be stoic when I'm struggling , fortunately it's only sporadic , not a permanent state.

I just retired and apologized to my younger coworker for being an asshole a few times. 40 years of working in an office will do that to you.

54 here. I took a 'city boy' to shoot a traffic sign last night...then insisted the boys go study today. I do a 'logic flip flop' on my loved ones more often then I want to. And they love it. I sometimes think the grumpiness is all in my own head.
