this

Try reading Jean-Marie Guyau's "Sketch of an Ethics without Obligation or Sanction" he's like nietzsche but without the schopenhauerian pessimism aspect

It's not true for me. I've never been religious and I've always felt a love for others and an optimistic view of the world.

>I've never been religious

That might be why. Were you raised athiest?
>optimistic view of the world
You're gonna need to elaborate on that

tbhwy edgybro The Bible's ability to instill compassion has not been surpassed in 1800 years. be good for goodness sake. thinkerfags like kneechee or weebgenstein are just reactionaries who can't handle the holy word and invented new ways to misinterpret reality

I know you said no Christian lit, but read Kierkegaard's Either/Or. It's not christian at all and you can keep being a nihilist and still realize that the only thing you're gonna get here is connections with other people. You have to put the effort in though, so instead of putting the blame on others, you can start hating yourself.

Honest advice: read actual pessimists such as Schopenhauer and Houellebecq. Either you'll disagree which means you found at least one way out of pessimism, or you agree and then you'll at least have a more refined outlook.

Not really, my parents just stopped taking me to church before religious belief could crystallize in my mind. I don't know why they did that but I never ended up having any religious beliefs. It was also rarely mentioned as a topic at home.

>>optimistic view of the world
>You're gonna need to elaborate on that
OP is the one who used these terms first, I'm just following the way the discussion has been laid out already. I consider optimism in my understanding to basically be the belief that there is a great amount of pleasure, joy, and other good things in the world and where there isn't, there's a good possibility of feasibly changing this situation. I think there are biological/psychological arguments for the excess of joy in the world and the possibility of effective change is a clear consequence of the already present changing nature of the world in addition to the mental powers we have available to bend this changing nature to our will(s).

Recognize that this is a defense mechanism to make you feel good about yourself, e.g.:

>"Man, I may not be perfect, but at least I'm not a fucking loser like these dumb normies. I'm unique/special/intellectually honest."

Maybe the above doesn't match your viewpoint word for word, but the particulars aren't really important. What's important is that being hooked on disdain for people is a crutch, and a substitute for actual self-improvement and more ruthless self-examination. True intellectuals see you as a pseud. Hopefully this viewpoint motivates you to change.
