Because we are and thus we exist. We can either wither and die and waste our one chance to experience it or we can make something of it and make an honest effort.
why not ending it? why experience it, just because we're here already?
We keep going because of the sunk cost fallacy
>We keep going because of the sunk cost fallacy
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.
my brother in christ you yourself are the experience
Wah wah wah homosexual
Stop focusing on the bad and find the good and cultivate it. You will find happiness if you stop being such a whiny homosexual
I didn't even say anything besides why, homosexual, learn to read
Asking stupid questions isn't gonna make it easier
You can end it if you want bro, no one is stopping you
No guarantee you'll experience anything ever again. 100% guarantee that you will die whether you want to or not. Might aswell live now and rest later. Unless you're paralysed from the neck down or something
that's what I'm doing so far
I don't want to hurt my mommy
>can't get an asnwer
>becomes defensive
grow up, 'tard
Have you lived though?
You ask dumb questions and get mad when people dismiss them. If anyone here is moronic its certainly you
Why don't you just do it then if you feel it's so logical? There's your answer. We aren't exactly built to favor death unless our situation really is that insufferable.
>I don't want to hurt my mommy
If this isn't a joke, you aren't even close to that to being pushed over the edge.
never claimed to be, just thinking about meaning
I'm doing it now
I'm not mad, you're the one who started insulting me for asking questions you can't answer
You asked me why not end it when I already answered your question in my fippy bippy and you kept asking for clarification as if
>wasting the one chance you have
Isn't a sufficient answer. It's the only answer you need because unless you have no legs and hydrocephalus you have something to live for
>you exist only once, keep doing it lul
you don't know that but even if true, why you should keep going, why should you care to experience all life has to offer and what are you living for
>you don't know that but even if true, why you should keep going, why should you care to experience all life has to offer and what are you living for
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
>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.
>You literally biologically want to live
My reason, among other stuff like suffering or pain, can lead me to suicide, not a valid answer
>you are afraid of death
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
>why you should keep going,
Because you're already at the party so you might as well enjoy it
>why should you care to experience all life has to offer
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.
>dude what are we living for lmao
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.
Literally non answers
>"keep doing it, lulz, i don't know lalalalalaalal I can't hear you I'm being my own meaning"
Baby babling, you even contradict yourself stating there is no meaning but saying there's more meaning than the one some individuals gave to their lifes
I skipped the ad hominems
>"keep doing it, lulz,
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.
its not an ontological question, its a question about the state of being produced by society at large
Then organize and change it
im at the mercy of fate, history is not manually operated.
It very much is. The right person at the right time makes all the difference in the world. Would we still have peaceful protests if Saint Floyd wasn't martyred?
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.
"illnesses" are just demons that enter you due to your lack of faith, pray and Christ will cast it out
~~*Medicine*~~ is the Devil's work so you can make excuses of your lack of faith
Everyone that died of "illnesses" deserved it for keeping Christ out of their Heart
Read the good news
Amen
Cringe-chan strikes once again
Ask me how i know youre under 30
Everything changes your brain somehow.
Depression is treatable and manageable. 1st line of treatment is usually psychotherapy and/or SSRIs. The meds help dull the depressive feelings while you sort everything out.
yes depression causes permanent brain damage
https://sciencenordic.com/denmark-depression-evolution/depression-can-damage-the-brain/1392566
you could, you know, stand up and fight for a real existence...
but no, better keep jerking off to anime and playing video games in your moms house. Oh, don't forget, eat as unhealthy as possible. Do all of this while thinking your intellectually superior to all those around you. That should help you beat depression
But anime and video games are the only things I enjoy in life.
How would interacting with a bunch of people I can't stand make me less depressed instead of moreso?
If your life is so sad your only interaction with the outside world is work then going home for anime and vidya you should end yourself. You obviously have 0 interest in trying new things or experiencing a real life.
tried them, they sucked, gonna live on to make (you) seethe tho
>Tried them
o rly? You tried everything life has to offer? Congrats. Tell me about your adventures then. Go on.
To try and make something of our short time here and make it matter
>nothing matters
It does to me, therefore it does. The meaning of life is genuinely subjective but the nonsubjective meaning is to survive and pass your genes down and thrive in this cold universe baby
> pass your genes down
how is that meaningful?
> depression causes permanent brain damage
Is that like confirmed?
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?
Lol pussy
Smoke more weed with me bro. I'll put on some Flloyd
>recover
You don't recover. You can only preserve. Is your life so shit you need daily drugs?
>not the answerer
but yes I'm doing weed and alcohol like this guy. My life is not shitty but I don't know how to stop, cold turkey will be the best option I think
>My life is not shitty
It very obviously is since you need drugs to cope
Yes. Alcohol doesn't kill braincells unless you are an end-stage alcoholic and get encephalopathy induced by b12 deficiency. Weed also doesn't kill braincells.
Does it cause brain lesions?
>why even live in this world, when everything is made to be fleeting?
because our souls are eternal, we will never be in a state of nonexistence again
>everything is made to be fleeting
from since everything's "fleeting"? if you don't lead a degenerative, destructive, sinful in general lifestyle, you can live up to 130 years. given that there's so much time, you can literarily accomplish every goal.
Because you were never a perfect being, and further imperfection only offers you greater Sisyphean striving.
>Why live in this world
Cause life is good.
>Life is fleeting
That makes it more nice.
Literally just lift and shower you navel-gazing gay
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
Where did suicides used to get buried?
If your identity was unknown or unverifiable, potters' fields, which are mass graves for unknown corpses.
Ye can hear the restless dead in the potters fields m'lad
Ye can hear 'em callin'
Callin' fer the livin' to join 'em early
They're full, those there fields
So...terribly full
But what would be a reason if everything wasn't fleeting?
yes yes you are berry depressed. Don’t worry I will write you a prescription for Prozac which you will need to take everyday ($620 a pill uninsured) to avoid permy brain damage!!
>depression causes permanent brain damage
In 1 in 5 patients at most.
>depression causes permanent brain damage
That's not how neuroplasticity works homie. You havent had a fricking stroke if you've had a major depressive episode.
And judging by what this site think depression is, you're most likely not even clinically depressed.
>woe is me
the only reason you arent happy is that you lack the courage to be happy
change your life for the better right now
take any step you can and dont stop
depression is cringe
