          This, but there is also some truth to Existential Nihilism and Buddhism and the closest compromise is Epicureanism. Do what you enjoy most and/or gives you fulfillment while mitigating negative impacts and maximizing positive ones.

            Not OP but there isn't a universal answer. Some people live because they genuinely love life, some do it because there's goals they want to accomplish, some simply do it because it's scary to die.
            You live because you are not dead, most people don't do 'nothing' they do something regardless of how pointless or small and insignificant it is.

            why caring about it if it's inane

          • 2 years ago
            Anonymous

            >why caring about it if it's inane
            Because we don't have the natural intuition to die. You literally biologically want to live. A desire to die is usually caused by external, and some internal factors.
            >inane
            You don't think it's inane which is why you're still here. That or you are afraid of death. Lets assume life is 100% inane, what is stopping you from taking an existentialist approach? Or Absurdist even?
            The problem with thinking this way is
            >usually more harmful than good
            >ignores the fact one can create their own subjective meaning
            >is slightly hypocritical since you're not taking your line of thinking to its logical conclusion
            You should care about it because you are currently alive and it would potentially increase your quality of life.

            maybe and as said before, I don't want to hurt my loved ones
            >what is stopping you from taking an existentialist approach?
            No reason to do this or not do this
            >Or Absurdist even?
            Same as above
            >usually more harmful than good
            valid point yet ineffective to conclude why should I not if life is not, per se, worth living just because
            >ignores the fact one can create their own subjective meaning
            subjective meaning = no meaning
            >is slightly hypocritical since you're not taking your line of thinking to its logical conclusion
            yet
            >You should care about it because you are currently alive and it would potentially increase your quality of life
            Quality of life I don't care about, sounds like circular reasoning

            Because you have no guarantee that you will get another shot. The fact that you feel the need to even ask this shows me you're fricked in the head and need a serious re evaluation of your psychological profile and attitude towards this life shit.

            Baby's first existential conundrum.
            Only you can answer that question, moron. Biological essentialists say to reproduce and survive but we know there is more. That's not something you can have told. It comes from within. Some people want to smoke weed and play video games until they die of old age, childless and alone except for a frick robot. Some people want to cure cancer.

            Correct. Good start. Unless you wanna have a nice day, but you're too much of a pussy to do that, so you might as well live a full life as you would define it.
            >i don't know
            Yeah, moron. I don't know you and what you want out of life. From the looks of it you just want to smoke weed and play video games. That's fine if it's what you truly desire out of life and find meaningful. I can guess however that you don't want just that, and want something more substantial. I can't give that to you. You alone can answer that question. Some fake God or some dictator or some douche who's trying to sell you a lifestyle isn't gonna answer that question. It's your life. Answer the fricking question.
            >lalalalalaalal I can't hear you I'm being my own meaning
            Clearly not. You're crying about being asked to re evaluate yourself and your thought process, which tells me you're a fricking weakling and a narcissist who cannot confront his own failings without collapsing into self pity. Grow the frick up and give your life some direction. Course Correct as needed and within a year you will be so much farther along your path that you won't believe it until you are there.

            Stop slapping your belly and crying about how much it hurts. Get up and get out the door and attack your problems aggressively and your troubles will melt away like mist in the morning sun.

            That's what weak people say to cope for the fact that history is very much changed and steered by small minorities of motivated people organizing effectively.

            The Soviet Union arose because of the politicial agitation of one party within two cities.

            The French Revolution happened because of one party in a single city agitating at the right time.

            Every major movement you can name is the results of a small band of people working and volunteering to make a difference. You feel otherwise because you have been demoralized and disenfranchised by people who do not want you to work with fellow citizens to achieve common goals.

            Grow the frick up. Stop letting yourself be led into the mass graves. Take up arms and fight. The ballot or the bullet, the powers that be fear it equally.

      Of course not. Other than head trauma, very few things cause permanent brain damage. Mostly just extreme alcohol/drug abuse and potent neurotoxins like mercury and lead.

      I haven't gone longer than 24 hours without alcohol and/or cannabis in my bloodstream for 3 years (I'm 24). Are you saying I can recover all of my braincells if I stop?

    Found out a few years ago that my great grandfather committed suicide by taking a massive sleeping pill overdose, but it wasn’t ruled as such during the coroners report because back then suicides weren’t allowed to be buried in a church graveyard so they only ever ruled them as suicides if it was literally impossible to make up another excuse e.g. someone hanging themselves

    He was listed as taking an accidental overdose even though it was seriously like a jar full of pills and booze

    I myself am suicidal often and I wonder if I inherited this depression and suicidal ideation from him
