    Happiness is not the goal - it’s the failure state. Happiness means I’ve become an abusive monster, like you.

    That’s a wild take man. Like what are you talking about? Can you tell me exactly what I’ve done to be an “abusive monster”? Could you elaborate on how happiness is only the result of being abusive?

        I’m going to disagree with you. I have found it takes less to make me happy as I get older. Moreover, my happiest moments are those where others are happy. I take no pleasure in harming others and I don’t believe that’s a unique perspective.

        I think your coping mechanisms have made your life more difficult.

            It is common to develop a drug or alcohol addiction as part of a coping mechanism. That can absolutely make your life more difficult. Coping mechanisms can make it more difficult to make changes that will better your life.

            The path of least resistance isn’t always the easiest path.

                Which is it? Your choices don’t make life more difficult or they do and that’s why they are good?

                    It’s interesting that any pushback you is evidence you are correct. It’s also interesting that you take no responsibility for any difficulties you might experience, it’s always the result of someone else’s choice.
