Lack of suffering is the highest good, not pleasure, 'happiness' or love

[Progeny of Horus]

Those mentioned things can and do induce positive feelings, yet they always come at the price of laborious striving and long-term dissatisfaction when their effect subsides.

On the other hand, a frugal lifestyle of simple pleasures is easily attainable and doesn't require any dependence on uncontrollable factors like society and foids.

This is also why I'm against stronger copes like drugs, alcohol and even porn/gooning. They're not necessary for a satisfactory life and they have countless adverse effects.

I'll close with two Schopenhauer quotes:

It is the painless state that Epicurus prized as the highest good and the state of the gods: for that moment we are freed from the vile urgings of the will, we celebrate the Sabbath of the penal servitude of willing, the wheel of Ixion stands still.

The sage therefore is always as aloof from jubilation as from pain and nothing that happens disturbs his ataraxia.

You cant get to a painless state as an incel though
You literally need sex and a good social life for your brain to not be in mental agony

Cope
Nothing ever truly fills the void

No void after you die gooning on MDMA
