How old were you when you realized no one who has ever lived is "happy" and that "happiness" is an unattainable state of being, perpetual joy being impossible.
Was it right now?

I never realized it because I never believed that
Should the left be resorting to the same shallow shaming tactics as the right?

everybody should be shamed into never talking about politics again and the internet will be fixed forever
It's out there, I've felt it, it's just difficult in ever which way.

I think 4chan posts don't matter.

Maybe if you're a stupid normie.
It's actually fairly easy to find bliss when you don't have a phone glued to your face 24/7, don't give in to animistic urges, and have personal time to just relax and have fun.

This only happened once we began practicing the type of agriculture that aimed to create surpluses and expand the population without a second thought. When we were in small tribes (which is a much much longer period of time than our current surplus agriculture one) we were much happier, and our lifestyle was happier for us and better for the environment.

Everyone is secretly living in perpetual emptiness and misery too? What a relief!
'Happiness' was never something I really sought. I think 'growth' or 'expansion' might be the word closet to what's always been most important to me - and periods of hopelessness and depression or periods of feeling down or bored always seemed a part of that process.
You'd have to be pretty spooked to be in pursuit of simply 'happiness'.

That's called joy. Happiness is NOT a perpetual state of existence

I'm not a robot, I was good-looking, charismatic and popular. I'm depressed now but not for any good reason.
