e you know you can skip the whole existentialist nihilism i.e. "theres nothing in life therefore im not going to try because there is no point" (i personally think existentialist nihilism is kinda tiresome, lazy and melodramatic but thats just me) bit by trying to develop, or at least consider more sorta "zen buddhist" values about it all, in which you realise yes the world is a load of strife and you just die and thats it and everything is temporary and nothing is permenant but you straight up go "well you know what, its all crap but ive still got the free will in this """crap world""" to buck this idiotic Nothing system by going against it and doing nice things and making a Thing of it with the time i have on this earth" i.e. aiming to do random selflessly nice things just because, mindfulness meditating a lot to clear your mind of bad thoughts about the world (meditating is just practising the 'go away, bad thoughts' mental muscle) im making it sound really dorky but i hope you understand what im getting at here i could go on but if this sort of thing is really bugging you on a regular basis (beyond the usual teenage angst stuff) then you can perhaps check out a few sorta pop books about it, like Hardcore Zen by Brad Warner, a former punk turned buddhist (although i haven't had a chance to read it yet so i can't wholeheartedly reccommend it, ymmv) but doing a little lazy research into buddhism may be a thing for you like i may be overreading and typing a load of junk to what is essentially just a Bad Night or whatever but death is my favourite thing, go figure
Now I'm not gonna sleep either. Thanks, Dick.Thing is that it would all be pointless if there was nothing after death so by reasoning, there has to be. My problem is that science can't prove anything about it, it's a find out when you get there sorta thing. Is there life after death? is the same sort of question as will the buffet have cocktail sausages?So I resolved to focus on the now. This is actually, I have realised, what makes me so bad at planning things: if I look to the future I just end up pondering the meaning of life (42) so I have to force myself to think about right now.
Man, I used to be scared of death as well, to the point where I was reduced to tears. It doesn't bother me as much, but I'm still afraid, after all its only natural. But, I think that's just because we're young. I hope that by the time I'm an old man, I would've achieved everything that I really wanted to in life and that I would be happy to let death take me, because that's about as much as I can ask for. All you can do is live life to its fullest and hope that the end comes at an appropriate time.It's scary but ultimately, there's nothing you can do about it so there's not much sense in worrying about it. The best you can hope to do is to delay the inevitable and enjoy the moment while you can. I suppose in this new Godless world, such thoughts are common. Hopefully, some of this has made some sense at least. Don't stay up too late on it, sleep is healthy.
DONT LET THE PEOPLE ON STAGE LEFT KNOW THE SCRIPT
look at all these deep 12 year olds
I think you slightly misunderstood what I meant: It was less "Life's crap so I'm not doing anything with it" and more "Life's too short, death is looming at any time nd at that point you may as well have never existed." which leads me to want to do more to at least remain in memory.Still, that aside I guess everyhing you said is still relevant, and I'll definitely have a look into it
One of my best friends is sleeping rough tonight because he thought that one of his friends was gonna let him stop at his but he forgot to check to had had nowhere to go. He had one percent battery left on his phone and he tried to ring his Mum but she didn't pick up, it's too late for buses and it's too far to walk to his house so he's having to sleep on a park bench. I can't help him because I live half an hour away but I wish I could
