I can't imagine why you say that
Your world view dictates it. It's what underlies your reasoning. Of course in the short term there are benefits to positivity. How else would you see the potential in my world view, and how would I reason to hold it?
I'm not saying it's impossible for you to know happiness. I'm saying the bigger picture is bleak ... because you can't reason beyond the ultimate fact of injustice which over arches your world view.
What sustains your contentment, when the going gets tough? What resolve can you dig deep into to get you through? I'm not talking about some fake hope of something distant. I'm talking about a reasoned assurance shaping my thinking now, in the present.
Why feel the need to attack that?
