Philosophical Pessimism

Philosophical pessimism is the view that life is fundamentally filled with suffering, pain, and evil, and that these negative aspects outweigh any potential happiness or meaning. Philosophical pessimists argue that human existence is often irrational and that attempts to find lasting satisfaction or happiness are ultimately doomed to fail. This philosophy questions the value and purpose of life, often highlighting the inevitable suffering that accompanies existence.
