Miserableness and greatness

>>7805656
Define "great". Not trying to be a smartass, but I suspect that most "great" businessmen and career-men tend to be fulfilled by their occupations in a really single-minded sort of way.

As for artists, authors, intellectuals and (smart) comedians, there is something to be said about the correlation between depression and these pursuits. I personally think that these endeavors involve tackling the Big Questions in life, and being sincerely, acutely concerned with the world around you. It is apparently difficult to wrestle with these things and not become completely miserable.

Because if you keep asking yourself questions, you'll never have answers.
We don't know what makes up everything, and I believe we will never know, especially if everything is infinite. Even if we were to discover the beginning of everything, we still won't be able to grasp the concept, naturally, nor will we know if we actually hit rock bottom.
Everything is a yes, no, and maybe. No definitive answer makes for no definitive base of reasoning to go towards everything, therefore.. we're fucked, not fucked, and maybe fucked. The world, beyond, and anything underneath is whatever we want it to be, f a m.

/lit/ - literature

Retarded me forgot to add at the beginning that the main reason as to why they tend to be miserable is essentially because they are too smart for their own good and fall in to despair.

/lit/ - gettin' fucking lit
Philosophy can count as literature, which is written work(s), and we are typing.. so.. ;]

That's good answers. I like the being concerned with the world round you part. I haven't thought about that.

I think this should be ok. I've seen philosophy here before. Besides, /his/ is just /pol/ by now.

Everybody is unhappy with their lives.
