Going through an existential crisis?
Life can be arduous. If you look at it closely, it's a perpetual cycle. All your efforts may seem fruitless in the end, because what does it amount to? Everybody's life ends the same. But at the same time, it's what you make of life that determines whether you can find purpose or happiness. The individual is the key. IT strips away the free will of the person. Wouldn't you be discontent that, yes you are living in a world that mimics your desires, but that it wasn't the product of your efforts? I mean, free will is also a questionable thing but I think most would be happier striving for their dreams than settling for an illusion. I think there's no fulfillment in a lie.
But then again, even in the real world you see people devoted to the phrase "ignorance is bliss." I don't know. I don't think you should let life wear you down. We should always endeavor to attain the real thing.
P.S. If you're suffering from depression, you should seek help. Depression is debilitating and takes a toll on your life, trust me. It's especially dangerous when it affects the male gender.
