It is not a question of non-existent things being conjured up. It is just that all through life we protect ourselves in so many ways from so many hurtful truths just by being a bit blind here, a bit short-sighted there, and by squinting against the incoming light all the time simply because we are afraid that its weight might hit us real bad and hard. That is what the prudent chose to call LIFE.
The 'destructive' thing philosophy does is to lift the blindness and to let you see the whole of your life laid out in front of you. Now what you see, whether it comes up from hidden things inside your soul or from the common facts of the waking life you lead, is not false.
But its truth is the deep, dangerous kind of truth that you've managed to side-stepped all along, and that can certainly frighten you into depression. A desperate, gloomy act if the life you have been living is already of itself deeply gloomy and deeply desperate.
Now after seeing your life flashed right across your face, you can choose to accept it as it is laid out before you or just ignore it as you've always done.
The choice is yours, but, I reckon accepting it the way it is laid down before you is the beginning of living right.
Think about it.
