You can either be a happy believer, or you can be a happy nonbeliever. You cannot be happy if you are in between.

Most people are taught from birth that everything matters for some inexplainable reason. For some people this is religion, and for some people it is an abstract concept that is never explored.

If your whole life is built around everything mattering because it simply does, the idea that it doesn't is terrifying. When someone starts to lose the belief, this usually causes them a lot of distress. A midlife crisis may happen. Depression may happen.

People who keep busy with school, work, socializing, never question their belief. However, once the seed of doubt is planted, it cannot be rooted out. Once you accept that their is nothing to believe in, you can be happy, but if you try to fight it, you end up depressed and sad.

So yeah, some people are happy and never question, some people are happy with nihilism, and some people are stuck between and fruitlessly attempt to reconcile belief and non belief. That's why you're on /lit/

Aristotle was a believer, while Plato was not, I think.

If you have doubt about things then you're guaranteed to be intelligent and then more prone to suffering. What's new?

Why do you think that?

>>7563799
People get stuck in doubt and never come to term with the lack of meaning. Intelligent, doubting people can still be happy.

The aporia of philosophy is whether to out-Hegel Hegel, or to revert to Kant. Lukács chose the former, and Adorno chose the latter.
