Yes...usually when someone is disenchanted with how things are - he or she is more likely to discover something new.

Just look at some of the most influential philosophers of our past...Nietzsche, Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Voltaire, Sartre...how many of them were disenchanted. Well, all of them were until they found new ways of seeing things and asked themselves questions.

I find myself looking where many don't look and am often labeled as a pessimist, but on occasion I am told "that's a good point" or "I never thought of that.

No, they're just a pain in the butt. And as of yet, all the "new perspectives" are nothing but old ones brought to light again.

no,that is truly philosopher's manner.

Many "disenchanted" people become despondent and quit philosophizing at all. They may feel there is no purpose in living, yet believe that suicide is immoral.

These are sad people, indeed, not aggressive philosophers.

"Aggressive" rather a heavy word. One can be assertive, which is being strong without injuring.

Enchanted people are blissfully busy with their routine.... it is others who may find philosophizing a reasonable answer to their disenchantment with life, though need not necessarily be aggressive or bitter.
