I think Alter Rebbe made a valiant effort to transcend this. But you can’t. This is life itself.
Thomas Ligotti, The Conspiracy Against the Human Race:
“This is the great lesson the depressive learns: Nothing in the world is inherently compelling. Whatever may be really “out there” cannot project itself as an affective experience. It is all a vacuous affair with only a chemical prestige. Nothing is either good or bad, desirable or undesirable, or anything else except that it is made so by laboratories inside us producing the emotions on which we live. And to live on our emotions is to live arbitrarily, inaccurately—imparting meaning to what has none of its own. Yet what other way is there to live? Without the ever-clanking machinery of emotion, everything would come to a standstill. There would be nothing to do, nowhere to go, nothing to be, and no one to know. The alternatives are clear: to live falsely as pawns of affect, or to live factually as depressives, or as individuals who know what is known to the depressive. How advantageous that we are not coerced into choosing one or the other, neither choice being excellent. One look at human existence is proof enough that our species will not be released from the stranglehold of emotionalism that anchors it to hallucinations. That may be no way to live, but to opt for depression would be to opt out of existence as we consciously know it.”
> Whatever may be really “out there” cannot project itself as an affective experience. ... Nothing is either good or bad, desirable or undesirable, or anything else
Because the affective experience is composed of indifferent chemicals is exactly why it can serve as a neutral vehicle for all manner of things from good to bad. Language itself is neither of these but can express words intending a range from hatred to love, because language has no interests of its own towards either extreme. Neither do our emotions. Emotions are just honest. Because our feelings have no desires of their own, they are free to express all manner of experiences ranging from hunger, lust or injury, to pride, accomplishment, or awe. Whether or not there is something "out there" able to project itself makes no difference to the laboratory, which faithfully just colors our sensory experiences with feelings.
