    While I do not accept misanthropy as a worldview or a philosophy, and you are a wrong to believe there is not a greater paradise that surpasses all human imagination or comprehension, I do somewhat agree with your broader point, but I also hear emotions clouding objective analysis. But I strongly agree that all people need to get outside of themself.

    You will be dead a lot longer than you were ever alive. If someone spends everyday avoiding death, they will never live, never find life.

      You will always have emotions. You should probably at least acknowledge them when making choices as they’re deep seated alarm bells in your body.

          What you are describing is willful denial. Yes, I know you don’t (and are not able to) see it that way. That’s how it works.

            It could be willful denial, but I’m reading it more as someone with a poor and incomplete understanding of emotional detachment, the times and reasons to use it, and the life shatteringly bad stuff that happens to your brain if you use it as a primary coping skill.
