So I figured out what unhappiness is for. I realize the first question is “Why should unhappiness be for anything? It just is<\/i>.” Well there are two arguments people tend to present: 1) there is the spiritual argument which says “Everything happens for a reason”; and 2) there is the Darwinistic argument which says all things in life come about as a result of survival, therefore unhappiness must’ve helped our species survive for that trait to continue from generation to generation. In both arguments, unhappiness has a purpose.<\/p>\n
