no, it's not acceptable for life to be restless and unsatisfying.
what you can do personally, is to purify your heart and learn about morality.

from there you can eventually move to cultivating peace, but peace is on a very high level so it may take a while.

I suppose happiness as you understand it is different to my understanding, I've been so mentally ill throughout my life that just being okay is happy to me. I suppose, more than anything, I don't want to be sad. 


But isn't seeking peace just for self selfish? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but what I'm talking about here is meeting the basic needs of all human beings, I don't feel like that should be too much to ask for when we have everything we need available.

I didn't say seeking, I said cultivating.
peace is cultivating. cultivating peace is based.

nothing selfish about taking care of your basic personal needs if you go about it with morals and compassion. peace is endgame material w.r.t. personal needs.

e.g. only if you're a great cook can you feed others. there's nothing wrong with being a great cook.

'just for self' sounds like a shame loaded term, indicating you're not yet that active in learning about stoicism. get that right first. stoicism is when I can say 'you're a disgusting faggot' or 'you're the morallest good good I've ever known' and be undisturbed, breathe in and process the emotions and stay in the present.

and consider renewing your social circle a bit, that shame stuff sounds like bad external influence. like BB pseudo-kabbalah, honestly.
