    Is this a good thing, a bad thing or do you have no opinion about it?

    It's not a bad thing, but it's certainly not all that progressive or helpful in most social situations, in my opinion. It's a fairly antagonistic approach to bring to the table of thoughts required to provoke viable and working solutions.

    the mind is an illusion more or less, and so any mode of thinking is rather flimsy

    it's a biased but also self-preservational mind set. good and bad.

    All the greatest and most important problems of life are fundamentally unsolvable...[they are] not solved logically in [their] own terms but fade when confronted with a new and stronger life urge.

    I get like that sometimes too.. I just think fatalistically (is that a woooord????) anyways.. so I don't get disappointed, I prepare myself for the worst.. but.. it's pointless.. because with such a mind set you create negative things to happen anyways.. while thinking positively does the opposite.. but yea sometimes I just can't do it and get negative because.. hmm life sucks, sometimes.
