Help It's required to delude yourself to cope with existing?

[SilentSadness]

I think it's required to delude yourself to cope with existing, otherwise there isn't any way to feel content in this world. It's not just some people are evil, since almost everyone strongly believes in an extreme and harmful ideology (natalism) and is anti-suicide, so effectively they are pro-torture. The fact that life is full of suffering is itself an abomination and no one can be expected to bear that knowledge without deluding themselves. It's no wonder that so many people turn to religion to blind themselves from the obvious truths of this world. How do you cope with living in a world that is so egregiously evil, without accepting a morally corrupt world view?

Absolutely. I just try to be selective in the ways which I delude myself.

I live in a bubble. From a young age, I became obsessed with art which swallows up vast amounts of time. That has just about translated into a career, where I just spend most of my time working, while having stuff on in the background for distraction. So, it's basically being irresponsible. Not even being that aware of the world. Just staying in my own lane, trying to survive.

I suppose also, trying to make decisions that are less negatively impactful- eg. going vegetarian.

I do wonder though- how people cope generally. The greater puzzle for me is why people choose to bring children into this. That truly does seem like a suspension of reality seeing as most parents seem to whinge about how difficult and unfair life is. So- they do seem to see it and yet, they seem simultaneously ok with bringing their defenceless offspring into it. That puzzles me.
