most of you talk as if living is some great magical thing and that the sun is going to shine, you just have to hold on a little longer. i completely understand this line of thinking, but there is one major inherent flaw with it. your all assuming, with this line of thinking, that living is worth something.
now, i realize most of you will either ignore this post, or read it and get the wrong idea from it, or read it, get it right and still rant about it anyway because thats how the internet works. i'm not 'officially' supporting suicide, or anything to that degree, but. what if, there is no point of living.
none of us asked to be alive, correct? it was a injustice to have such a thing forced upon us, but its something we all have to deal with regardless. some people open this 'gift' and try to get everthing we can out of it, only to find out in the end that its just a box, full of emptiness. other people can open that same box and find a magical world, or some other likewise thing. it simply comes down to perspective. some people think suicide is bad, some people don't thnk about it at all and post anyway, and some people may think that its not nearly as bad as what all the other sheep make it out to be.
but what someone thinks about life, their perspective of it, doesn't change what life actually is. for those that need to visualize it, imagine, or find and pick up, a sphere. a ball or roughly circular item. there are an unlimited amount of points you may look at this object, noted by how it changes as you rotate or turn it. all of these views change what you see, but they do not change the object itself. this is paramount in understanding the rest of what i have to say
while it is difficult to decide, what the object called life actually is, i believe that i can say that life, this thing we have had forced upon us, is in actuality, nothing. and not nothing in the physical sense, thats pretty much a given as there is no physical 'life' no 'essence' so to speak. but that life, is nothing. existence, is nothing. then why does it exist, might ask. of course, i can't answer that, and i don't believe anyone can. the only way i can forsee to obtain that answer, is to die, or to have no lived (assuming you are given a choice, whether or not 'you' want to 'live'. in which case you exist in another form/plane/etc which completly fucks with everything, but i honestly do not believe such is the case). but granted there is no definite answer to why we were created. lets break it down
has not, everything that we have created, been to serve a purpose. i am unable to think of a single example in which there was no purpose for somethings creation (side from ourselves, and the other animals, plants/etc and everythign in general). so then, going ahead with this thought, lets look at what we have created, and done with our lives.
we have done nothing but make our existence, an ass of itself. compare what we are now, to what we were in roughly the cavemen eras. then, we hunted, we fucked, we worshipped fire and we lived in caves. now, we fuck, we harvest animals and plants that we have grown for no other purpose then harvesting (notice thats a purpose we gave it, not its true purpose for having existed to begin with) we reside within metal and wood constructs that don't rally differ much from caves. and i don't think many people really worship much of anyhting because thers nothing to worship. nearly everything has been explained through science, yet some people still retain religious ignorance. i'm not saing they're wrong, just as i'm not saying any of you are with bleieving life is magical. i'm just trying to get you to view the object called life, for waht it is.
so is our 'advancement' really just a clever word to trick ourselves into thinking we've achieved something? we've launched things into space, thats great, why? what does it really achieve? we've more or less replicated space, on earth. we've created vacuums, in which the absence of matter pretty accurately reflects space, though i don't claim to know the details. but honestly i think one must stop and ask themselves, why are we blindly running for no apparant reason? why are we embracing something that we don't even know what it is.
Because it feels good. thats what it comes down to, doesn't it. a feeling, a sensation, some sort of feed back form teh physical world that yes, this is 'good'. isn't that indulgence? isn't that selfish? you could say a lot of people do selfless things with life, but really, are they so selfless? does a man rescueing a father and son from a fishing incident really feel good about helping them, regardless of reward or appreciation? my guess is he did it because he would of felt bad, had he not done it. which good and bad again are entirely perspective, which is why there are murderers, rapists, docters and scholars. you do something, so ou can feel it. you do it, to get the feeing you want. and oyu keep on living, i believe, and this is the paragraph which wha ti believe coes into and can either be ignored or disputed, because you want to find that next sensation, that next, wonderufl feeling. i think humanity should be disgusted with itself, the ultimate superior being we believe ourselves to be, driven only by desire.
anyway... take the time to ask yourselves these questions and epxlore the other views. feel free to amke up your own mind about what ife is, and act accordingly. it will be something different to everyone, and no one can answer your questions but yourself. if you think life is shit, act on it. if you think its wonderful, act on that.
