Other Person's Response: I think your worldview might set up a dangerous model for society. Imagine if your model set up a world where criminals broke into your home and tortured you since it brought them positive emotions and it was the good thing to do, according to your model. Wouldn't that convince you that your worldview is false?
My Reply: It still wouldn't. Nothing would convince me otherwise. This is because you don't realize how vital and precious our inner light is. It is truly the only thing there is to life. Don't let that mislead you into thinking that my worldview is false. Things that seem absurd are often times things that are true. Not all models have to be functional to be true. There are, in fact, models out there that are true despite the fact that they seem quite absurd.
Certain things in life just work certain ways and that's just that. For example, there are many people who die of illnesses such as deadly viruses. This is just life and life is just a cycle of natural processes. Just because this is something that really does not work well for us as human beings does not make it untrue. This is just the absurdity of life. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the one and only life we have to live and that such a life can only be good through positive emotions. Our existence would, thus, be completely absurd since we live just to feel wonderful, die, and that is it.
Some people live a full life while others are only brought into this world for a very brief moment feeling miserable and just die. My entire life has been dominated by such absurdity and unfairness which means I am all too familiar with the absurdity and unfairness of life rule. It's as they always say. Life is a joke or a cruel bitch. Given this, wouldn't it be quite possible that my worldview is true then? One last thing here. Knowing something is true is the same thing as being convinced it is true because it would make no sense to say that you choose to remain deluded despite knowing the truth.
This means that the fact that I am not convinced means that I have not acquired any knowledge of my worldview being false if it really is false. But this knowledge would not take on the form of studying up on values, morals, and ethics because no amount of studying up will ever convince me otherwise. Rather, we are talking a completely different type of knowledge here. This form of knowledge would be personal experience. Based upon my own personal experience, I have come to realize that my positive emotions are the inner light that gives my life real good value, beauty, and worth.
Therefore, in order to convince me otherwise, that would require a whole new personal experience that gives my life real good values and not just a matter of thinking good values are there when there isn't. As long as I have no such personal experience in my life, then I will always have this worldview. Personal experience and educating yourself are two entirely different matters. Try convincing someone that his/her personal experience is false. It just won't work. This person's personal experience is so powerful and profound that nothing will convince him/her otherwise.
Only that you seems to be talking to yourself.
So..... what's your medical diagnosis?
It still doesn't matter. I am still getting an interesting point across to you. As for my diagnosis, I have been diagnosed with ocd and autism.
