Ever heard of Epicureanism?

you should give it a shot, it's one of the most logical and liberating philosophy of life i've ever heard.

Epicureanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

i don't agree wholeheartedly with it, but i do find it's a very peaceful mindset.

"For Epicurus, the purpose of philosophy was to attain the happy, tranquil life, characterized by ataraxia—peace and freedom from fear—and aponia—the absence of pain—and by living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends. He taught that pleasure and pain are the measures of what is good and evil; death is the end of both body and soul and should therefore not be feared; the gods neither reward nor punish humans; the universe is infinite and eternal; and events in the world are ultimately based on the motions and interactions of atoms moving in empty space."
