Discussion Is a life of Absolutely no Cope Achievable? If so Survivable?

Like not trying at all to numb the negative emotion one feels. Being fully there all the time. Not being a monk because that's cheating as you're secluding yourself from facing negative emotion. If so will a person survive this lifestyle for long enough?

you cannot control this. You will numb these emotions even if u don't want to. It is a natural process.
But in the long term the numbness will make you crave the void

I'm not saying that I want to live with ever thought I ever have, I want them to go away naturally without me indulging into anything.

Maybe life is just one big scam and no one is winning?

Yes it is, I'm wondering how long would human mind stand a chance in front of that brutal realization.

It probably won’t take long before mind’s defense mechanisms start breaking down. It’s annoying to come to that realization makes me wonder if it’s better to just close my eyes to reality
