After 3.4 million years of Stone Age + about 6,000 years of non-Stone Age look at us, we're
The Planet of the Idiots
!
We feed our kids the white lies of civilization. The myths. The imaginary things the adults pretend are not imaginary.
There's the myth of "importance" (aka "imperative"). Yet reality is nothing about organic life or about the universe itself is "imperative". There is nothing of "importance" to achieve or avoid. We do what we do but in the end we might as well have not have, the universe had no preference.
There's the myth of "necessity" (aka "need"). Your parents told you you have "needs". But you don't. None of us do. The desire to avoid death does not create a "need" for oxygen. The desire to walk on legs does not create a "need" for legs.
There's the myth of "should". That you "ought" to do something before you die. Reality is there isn't anything you "should" do under any circumstances. Reality is you do what you and the universe will never care about you.
There's the myth of "must" (aka "have to"). That you "must" do something before you die. Reality is there isn't anything you "have to" do no matter what the circumstances are. Reality is you do what you and the universe will never care about you.
There's the myth of "justification". Reality is an organism can't even "justify" breathing the atmosphere.
There's the myth of "laws" and "crimes", "theft" and "murder" (aka "unsanctioned killing"). Making up rules is useful but they're still as made up as the rules for playing chess.
There's the myth of "morally right and morally wrong" where they mix up good and evil with accuracy for you. Reality is the universe doesn't care how evil we are, it isn't checking our behaviour to a script to see if we're reading our lines as stated or comparing our test scores to a card it had in its pocket.
Rape isn't inaccurate and 1+1=6.4 is not evil, morons.
There's the myth of "property" (aka "ownership"). Reality is none of us even "owns" the brain matter we think with.
There's the myth of "deserving". Reality is no one ever "deserved" anything they got and no one ever will.
There's the myth of "owing". Reality is no one "owes" anyone or anyone anything.
There's the myth of "duty" and "responsibility". Reality is a mother has no more "duty" or "responsibility" to take care of her newborn offspring than she has to leave it in a dumpster to die.
There's the myth of "purpose". Reality is a carpenter can't give a chair he's making a "purpose". Anybody can come along and use the chair for whatever they want.
There's the myth of "value" (aka "worth"). Reality is a single atom of oxygen or gold holds the same amount of "value" as a planet-size chunk of oxygen or gold; absolute zero, which is the exact same amount of "value" it held long before organic life came along.
There's the myth of "perfection and imperfection". We often hear no one is "perfect" and it happens to be true but it's true because reality is no one is "imperfect".
There's the myth of "nations". Reality is they're no more real than they were when the landmasses were like one big continent populated by dinosaurs or whatever.
There's the myth of "money" and "the economy" while reality is that's a load of complete horse manure.
All your cultures and all your religions are offensive to me and I wish our ancestors had all died so all seven billion of us now living were never born.

Well, since English is not my native language, it's limiting my complete thought, but I believe our ''opposing'' arguments are a matter of perspective and context, definitions and choices of words. Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps I'm right. This world can be quite ambiguous at times!
Agreed.
I hope so, mate. I hope so
And if so, I hope we're changing into something better.
Ahah! Don't underestimate them, Frodo still own Sauron!
No, he didn't, Gollum bailed Middle Earth out by simply being Gollum. And owning Frodo in a fight.

I feel you man. I'm not suicidal though.
Good. It's not fun.
Insecurity in an unstable society cause people to drown, to look deep into what it means to be a human being and to feel ashame of living.
Humans have departed from nature in building a social construct with norms, big infrastructures and a web of interconnectedness. Although they allowed for unseen creations in natural worlds, all those things shaved forests, polluted old and once pure waters and they mutilated our feelings toward each others.
Sure, I can agree with that.
What you're talking about, perhaps you never truly accepted deep in your heart the meaning of your words, of your thoughts. This world might seem meaningless at first hand, but isn't better than to have a dictated life? However, it's not entierely meaningless. It has a set of very fundamental laws that even reach our morality, from mathematical expressions to sustainable ways of life that we owe to respect for our own survival.
First of all, the world and life are not meaningless, meaning is omnipresent. Second, we don't "owe" anything
anything
.
Our very existence is telling a lot about the mysteriousness of reality. Imagine a world where there's nothing and by nothing, I mean not even the interstellar void space or whatever possible physical entity. Nothing that could exist at all.
The truth and meaning of itself would still exist in such a world.
Well, it doesn't. Stars are there, trees are there, rivers are there, other civilizations perhaps, our own species, etc. The list of wonderful things is almost infinite and what I've realize is : we never live or die. We are all part of this eternal self-functionning world, under one form or another.
We do die. We cease to desire.
I hope it doesn't sound like religions because, like you, I despise people arrogant enough to claim they have the truth about all of this.
Well, that applies to me as well to an extent. We can't argue if we're both in the middle, shrugging our shoulders.
I'm only speaking my mind and trying to reassure you that, like moving from your first house, leaving your girlfriend or losing someone you care about, it hurts at first, but you recover a certain peace inside and dying in this world is probably something like that. However, there're so many beautiful things in this world worth caring about
No, nothing is ever "worth" caring about. You care or you don't. "Worth" is a myth.
that I intend to go through some suffering to experience what this world has to offer. After all, living is all about sensations and especially, love.
Eh, love is for weaklings and masochists.
(Relax, I'm only half-serious.)
We unfortunately live in this 1600s european philosophy and archaic economy, destroying the very essential of what it means to be a human being and making us nihilistic.
Or we're simply changing to something else.
I hope you find your way. Each of us has to.
No, none of us "has to" anything.
Death is a meaningless option.
No, nothing is meaningless.
The only way to counter this is to live, to give a sense to this life we've been fortunate enough to possess, by our means, our will, our hopes and the few people that really care about us.
That might be true.
Good day!
Good day and, if we don't speak again, good luck!

I feel you man. I'm not suicidal though. There's one thing I understood lately. Insecurity in an unstable society cause people to drown, to look deep into what it means to be a human being and to feel ashame of living.

Wow, I never intended to be this long, but here are my thoughts of the day. I hope you find your way. Each of us has to. Death is a meaningless option.

It's a personality issue, like narcissim. For example, Donald Trump (not trying to get political) but it's pretty obvious he suffers from narcissistic personality disorder, medication can't help him, now therapy may help him understand he has an issue, and try to keep it in check, but won't change how he thinks.

You do know a person with anti-social personality disorder cannot be helped with medication right?
No, I don't know that. Is it true? Are there sources to cite?
If it is true (and I am not saying you are wrong, I am professing genuine ignorance) I am frankly surprised.

You need meds.
I don't "need" anything. None of us do. The desire to avoid death does not create a "need" for oxygen. The desire to walk on legs does not create a "need" for legs. "Need" is a myth, something that only exists in the imagination. Always has been, always will be.

If life is so bad for you, why not just leave?
I've been suicidal since 1997. There is no "why". How come I don't off myself? I take it day by day because maybe tomorrow will be different and mankind will look less repulsive. 20 years later I'm stil waiting.
But DON'T take others with you like all those other cowards who have gone into schools, movie theaters and other places and killed others.
So you have a preference, organism. What difference does your preferences make? Do people in schools, movie theaters and other places walk around with magical force fields because of your preferences that they not be killed?
