I don't know why some can bear it and others can't.
Despair is a perfectly valid philosophical position.
If nothing matters, then it doesn't matter if you despair.
So there's the no God to put a floor under everything problem, just for a start.
Despair and me are old friends. I don't like to be separated too long from it. I get irritable when people try to offer me hope. I must be a pain to live with.
