Believe it or not, I am a fairly positive person, and I have at least three different mental conditions that end in 'disorder'. I just don't get why you think what I believe is incompatible with a happy, positive personality.(January 25, 2013 at 11:24 am)pocaracas Wrote: And what if it is?
If it is then your outlook is bleak. If hate wins sometimes, your position would be to take that into account. Instead of a happy, positive person, you would be a sometimes cruel, hurt person. This is simply a result of your world view.
You neglected to actually draw a link between not believing the world is perfect and being 'cruel and hurt'. I'm not even sure if I would be happier in such a world, because I can't conceive of what it would be like.
