You said "To reproduce is the goal." So you are saying happiness can be contrary to the goals of nature? Which do you consider more important?

That's right "objectively". And if you reread my post I said subjectively I know I'm a failure. That's a different subject. But I can see how you guys got the wrong impression of what I was saying.

I still don't understand why you subjectively feel like a failure.

Because I haven't met my own expectations for my life, which has nothing at all to do with my life in general. My life in general is exactly what nature created so objectively there is only success.

Giving up attachments is definitely hard.
More important is to change your relationship to your everything, than to give it up altogether. though drugs and alcohol are definitely no-no's, for anybody that's thirsty for truth and freedom.
Psychedelics are a phase.

That's not true at all.

It's not a belief well taken on this forum.
