Why is happiness diminished by knowing it’s a chemical reaction? Why doesn’t that apply to depression and sadness?

    Because the truth is only one: life is meaningless.

    And happiness will trick your brain to think there's a meaning in something.

    Are you saying that depression feels more real than happiness, therefore the happiness must be a trick? What if it's actually the other way around?

    Yea that's kind of logical.

    You're in a world crumbling into pieces, unfairness, exploitation, injustice. Coming from a specie with history of severe torturing your similar, dictatorships, wars. And in the end, you still can feel happiness? I must say, happiness is just making you blind. And if it's not the case, if you're still happy while being aware of all the pain of this existence, then I must say, I'm afraid of you.
