How do I escape depression caused by metaphysical studies of the cruelty of human nature and loss of utopia
Human nature has me at pessimistic catatonic breaking point, I just feel like I can’t move. I’ve been drive to despair by pessimism. My dad blames it all on my personal problems, its true I don’t really have many friends. But I feel insulted that what for me is a metaphysical question can just be dismissed as rationalization. I hate that Freudian loop. I will only concede this. If I was satisfied hedonistically, I might take the meaningless and cruelness of life as a comedy, while in my situation I take it as a tragedy. Comes mostly from Schopenhauer. I just see the radically anti-egalitarian nature of the world as it is as just driven by a sexual sadism in all humanity that needs to dominate and degrade and inflict pain. At one time I had the youthful energy to struggle mightily against such forces to fight against the black ocean. But now I’m just exhausted and have lost all real hope of victory. I just hate the glib answer of human nature people give to any chance of building a better world. The easy dismissals of utopia. Everything they taught us in childhood about good guys and bad guys was a lie. I was the only fool who believed it. So just getting up in the morning and doing daily routine makes me feel like I’m supporting the world that I hate to the very fiber of my being.

is that an albatross around your neck?
Um nobody can answer this because you didn’t give any specifics. You just used a bunch of huge huge general words and weird metaphors. It is impressive that you used the words correctly though.
Don’t look at it like that. Not saying your wrong. Look at it like this. I feel you. I am at a computer somewhere and have the same thoughts in my head. I cannot fight this force either. So rather then live in misery live knowing that there is an invisible network of people who feel like you do. Take heed in the fact that our network will not always be invisible nor ignored. For now, you must seek out others who wish to think on these things because most do not. My father made fun of me as a youth for thinking on such deep matters. Now I live happily with my girlfriend, she is like us too. And what we cannot discuss with others we discuss together. You need only find one.
