Even those with the rule book still ask themselves why..even in the most devout language imaginable "god, why does this happen to me, god, why do i have to endure this, god, when are you going to lift this burden", etc. Whether or not life is worth the trouble is a question that religion has no particular advantage in answering (even assuming one believes in it).
Well... i guess it gets conscripted because if you believe in god(s) or a certain religion you usually get a book with instructions and a purpose. But not having a preset one makes you question if there is a purpose and if there is not a purpose makes you wonder if or why its worth the trouble.
I've considered happy pills but it somehow seems artificial and like cheating
Why do happy pills seem artificial, or- what about any other method is more authentic? Similarly, what about happiness seems to be an issue of cheating? Are there some kind of rules I've never been made aware of?
