You and I will be disappointed, traumatised, hurt, frustrated, angry, sorrowful, grief stricken and disease ridden. I’m telling you this because we all know this to be true but we, for good reason, hide from it. The philosopher’s job is to uncover what is hidden in plain sight and the fact of the sufferable nature of life is probably the most hidden but the most fundamental of these hidden truths. We have been sold a false bill of goods and it all started with the belief in the pursuit of happiness. Ever since we aimed at happiness, we were doomed to fail.
