Read the Bible and then realize that you're correct in your blackpilledness. Literally every intelligent branch of philosophy and theism recognizes that life on earth is a bit shit

Letters from a Stoic

Black pilled is only halfway there, my man. You've solve'd without coagula'ing.

Man, I really need to write my manifesto/novel/dialogue. The condensed version is: Zen Nihilism.

You don't have to like *this* loyalty program, microtransaction, affiliate link, petrochemical, narcissistic, insecure, initial public offering, social media startup society. But it will change if people just stop wanting things, and measuring themselves against other people's things.

That isn't how it works.
Reading isn't the solution to everything.
Experiencing life is a better option.

Meet nice people.

Experiencing life has led me to this state. Just to be clear, I deal with people daily.

Find somebody to love.

Ok, so you're trolling. Nice to know.

I'd say read a funny book but i think humor in literature is very hit or miss.

So watch some comedy on youtube

When you realize the Fatherhood of God you will be able to love humanity not only with a brotherly love but with a higher fatherly love.

100:4.6.
You cannot truly love your fellows by a mere act of the will. Love is only born of thoroughgoing understanding of your neighbor's motives and sentiments. It is not so important to love all men today as it is that each day you learn to love one more human being. If each day or each week you achieve an understanding of one more of your fellows, and if this is the limit of your ability, then you are certainly socializing and truly spiritualizing your personality. Love is infectious, and when human devotion is intelligent and wise, love is more catching than hate. But only genuine and unselfish love is truly contagious. If each mortal could only become a focus of dynamic affection, this benign virus of love would soon pervade the sentimental emotion-stream of humanity to such an extent that all civilization would be encompassed by love, and that would be the realization of the brotherhood of man.

It won't, but don't let that stop Buddhism/etc from comforting you as an individual.

Love is the most beautiful thing that can happen to you. And the best part is, there is almost nothing you can do to cause it (ergo nothing you HAVE to do).

I was thinking of the song, and I'm also lonely, and it's also the right answer. God, I need a wife. I've dated, and loved childish loves, loves of adolescent desparation, of animal pleasure, of redemptive second childhood; but not the adult steadfastness of married love. I know the warmth of a spark, and a lightning bolt, but not yet of a proper fire, a hearth. I want a woman I can share burdens with, have children with, do taxes with, live life with, tangle souls with, hold in bed every night after work, and most of all, a woman I can trust utterly.
