How can I be happy knowing that the world is rotten and all it's pleasures are ultimately unfulfilling?

Become evil, problem solved

Divert your attention away from all the injustices in the world, made up ones and not, that's out of your control. Try and bring some good to yourself and others locally if you find it fulfilling.

If you're not born a psychopath who quite literally can't feel empathy since birth then this will make you even more miserable in the long run and now with soul crushing guilt to boot, I would know, which I'm trying to atone for

Realize you made a rotten unfulfilling world, and were quite possibly encouraged and lead into doing that, and resolve to do better.

Turn to God (un ironically)

Just cope. Distract yourself from the bad. Find a good relationship(I mean love) and friends, and do something that makes you happy. Could be anything.

You can start by learning the difference between ITS and IT'S.

In Voltaire's novel CANDIDE a man travels the world looking for the meaning of life and winds up back home tending his garden. If we can't make things better "on a large scale" we can make our own little corner of the world a little nicer.

my religion forbids the use of commas and apostrophes.

Close but meh, better than nothing

Study meditation with some easier books like Thich Nhat Hanh. When you are ready to go balls deep, read Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha. Get enlightened. Then there will be no distinction between pleasure and pain.

Then why did you insert one where it didn't belong? Sinner!

The world isn't rotten, it's your mind that's focuses too much on negativity. Mostly because you are bombarded by it if you watch any media.

"Blow up your TV, throw away the paper, move to the country, build you a home. Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches, try and find jesus on your own." I'm not a religious man, but John Denver had it right.

When I'm sad I go hug my wife, pet my dog or cook my family a tasty meal. I used to spend too much time angry at the world, accepting that it's not my place to change it brought me a lot of peace.

All those things I don't have

You can cook yourself good food, go pet animals at shelters and go on dates. You can spend time with loved ones, learn something new and enjoy fresh air and singing birds.

Only held back by your mindset.

>learn something new and enjoy fresh air and singing birds.
The city smog has the effect of discouraging wild life and my eye sight is failing
>You can spend time with loved ones
not anymore, I'm the last.
>go on dates
by myself with no money?
>go pet animals at shelters
Knowing I don't have the means to adopt them and that they'll be put down soon?
>You can cook yourself good food
I don't gas or a stove

>Only held back by your mindset.
I'm pretty sure it's not my mindset

Your "advice" is on the level of a "just be yourself" remark to an autistic pedophile with tourette's syndrome.

You don’t need to be happy for fuck’s sake. This shit ain’t a disney movie. Having fun is much more achievable than being happy.

Read about Daoism if high IQ; Christianity if low IQ.
