There is actually. In fact if you look carefully at the post you placed above....you might find a few options. In my opinion you are far too uptight about something that literally requires you to be calm to understand. Desperately seeking a metaphysical pathway is akin to forcing someone to hurry up and wait. Wanting a thing does not mean a need to worry about getting it, anymore than Loving a thing entitles you to be loved back.

The only answer to existential angst is 'distract yourself with bullshit'. That's it. There will never be an answer to the human predicament. We are animals headed nowhere when we die, and we will never have justice, paradise, eternal life, or complete understanding of the universe.
All we can do is distract ourselves with bullshit until we die. That's it. Just distract yourself by playing with a bright red bouncy ball until you die.
This sucks.

Pretty much explains why you are pissed off at the world rather than happy to be in it. What you see as Bullshit Distraction, I see as opportunity to become something more than I am right now. If that means to you, that I'm playing with the bright red ball....thats cool with me. At the very least I am playing, while you sit on a bench and wonder why I am smiling.
