a lot of what you said makes sense to me, but isn't it better to 'find the humor' in being alive? wouldn't laughing, or finding peace and joy contribute energy other than just "feeding the archons"?

if we're doomed to repeat our existence forever, or until we outsmart and choose an alternative to the cycle, why not laugh (metaphorically) at all the evil and chaos around us? if we as individuals are doing our individual best within our tiny bubbles within our tiny perspectives, to be positive additions to the planet, then fuck all the evildoers. not saying they don't effect us, but how could it not be better to shrug like Atlas and smile?

Tell that to the kid who's worrying about whether he'll get to eat today or whether he'll be caught in the middle of a battle. Or the people in prison camps in North Korea and China. They show what life is all about. Trying to "find the good in it" is such a massive cope. It's all hopeless.

yes, barring things like starvation and incarceration, and other situations where one is out of control.

in general, the 'rat race' and being slaves to the system, still think it's better to take things with a bit of humor.

That helps but it doesn't make it good, or mean that's the purpose of the system.
