Why is most literature about the pain and suffering of life rather than the joy and happiness?
It´s about both. You just take notice of the former. Or as Hegel would put it:
>When we step behind the curtain and into the things, we see ourselves.
What did Hegel mean??
That the whole world reflects itself in itself.
pretty sure that was kierkegaard
Because of what you did in the past
Shapes without colour
because joy and happiness aren’t real, they are like a mirage you see in the desert, a figment of your imagination
ypu can experience pain and suffering because they are real, and when tou remove them all you get is the void, nothing, boredom
Who hurt you?
careful around that edge anon. you could accidentally cut yourself.
>because joy and happiness aren’t real
reward signals are just as real as pain signals, if that's what you mean
Go home Schopenhauer, you’re drunk.
Utterly based
Names? Lower left forth quarter and top middle, please.

>because joy and happines aren't real...
This is literally loss in self criticism. Seek psychiatric help; every depressed person you ask will tell you that whenever they were happy it was "fake", "not real happiness". They are unable to analyze their past or present emotions coherently and are completely biased by their mental issue.
Dukkha
The memory of joy is no longer joy; the memory of pain is pain still.
Because happy and satisfied people are too busy enjoining life to write books. Only the unhappy and miserable feel the need to “express themselves”. I notice something similar with people that are always complaining in conversations.

THAT'S KIND
there are two kinds of writers: those who feel like shit, and those who are shit.
And he did.
people like to equate misery with depth.
Joy on earth can only exist in contrast to suffering.
Because suffering is the real joy
Read Greek tragedy
Because the Canon of literature is curated by the most sensitive and intelligent readers. Clearly this mental constitution sees the world as full pain and suffering and that it's important to express this.
There are plenty of better ways to be happy than read a book. Like sleeping or fricking.
Because thinking is negative. morons are the happiest people on Earth. The brainwashed in North Korea always look on the bright side of life and assume the rest of the world is worst off. But Schopenhauer the irascible sage, Buddha the emo mage, Darwin and Freud are all bummers.
