Life a steaming pile of shit? (Page 2) lavendar_star: Hey; Cannot, who said I am optimistic or in a bubble but I ain't damaging my mental health and the ability to get up in the morning by being in a constant despair of Humanity existence and survival . I would consider myself a realistic with bit of optimism to keep me going day to day. thanks lol not that I shud be offended by being a optimistic but im not one, hence the word hope and false hope, get it (Edited by lavendar_star) Metaverseguy: There was a philosopher named Wittgenstein who believed in logical optimism. Basically, it's good to be optimistic so as long as it's rational and reasonable. Incorrect: oh the world is so plentiful and nice. if we all follow buddhism there will be no more wars, everyone will be happy, poverty will be gone, and we will all go to heaven Correct: Due to increased budgets in education finally the highschool graduation rate has increased. (Edited by Metaverseguy) lavendar_star: Thats some nice manners you have not and who is complaining this is a philosophy topic page, i.e. for debate and discussion just because you don't agree doesn't mean you should insult people personally, its not nice. take care (Edited by lavendar_star) lavendar_star: Well one person whining is another philosophies lol its all about interpretation and doesn't mean you should insult people , Furthermore, I do not complain about my life because I know so many have it far worse off and I have life and ambition, but each to their own. (Edited by lavendar_star) AngelOfMusic: DMT, you don't know the specifics of anyone's situation, so you are not in a position to judge their "worthiness of life". As for mine, I can't tell any difference between being alive or dead. lavendar_star: Thats nice and humble of you DMT thanks , I understand your manta that its better 2 be alive then dead, as there defo no heaven,lol, but life can be tough and dark so I guess for some people its hard to see the light. As for cannotbeloved: sorry to hear that I'm sure you don't want my pity, the only grudge I have to bear is that is difficult in finding a job but as we have benefit system in the U.K I don't try to get to down as things could be worse. so take care and I hope things improve for you. Metaverseguy: I know that "life is a steaming pile of shit" is just an opinion. Obviously there is people who love life and people who find it difficult, tedious, and not as rewarding. Maybe looking at things at a different perspective will strengthen your opinion. Or you can list all the reasons why you find so much joy in life instead of complaining that I should quit whining and just pretend to be happy. Metaverseguy: Alright I'll confess why I'm feeling this way. I thought I would be better at chess by now, but I still need to improve. Don't worry I just bought a book so I feel improvement will be coming along. CoIin: Yes, a good book always helps. My new one is entitled "How to hang oneself without squandereing hard-earned savings on rope or Anacondas" CoIin: Yes, my new book is placed stategically at eye level in New Age bookstores. Next to "Jesus, the missing years - on Neptune" Godzirra: It's all relative, who's to say that the dude who shot himself in the face after years and years of shit wouldn't have had a better day tomorrow if he had just waited one more day. But thats just me, life doesn't suck All the time. Sure it's shitty but I smoke a joint, play some video games, read a good book, watch some porn, and just try to get through it till i'm an old asian woman and knitting nikes who eventually dies in a blaze of glory where I finally take out jackie chan and his evil league of ninja assassins. Metaverseguy: Do you really think you have a chance against Jackie Chan and his evil league of ninja assassins? Godzirra: ...I'm asian, I took about 3 weeks of karate, and i've seen all the Rush Hour's at least twice. So yeah, my odds are looking pretty good. Godzirra: ...unless you live in a REALLY tall apartment or you can fly I doubt you'll be able to see it. Were gonna be fighting in the air on some real ass matrix shit, i've been saving up for a fly ass trenchcoat and some shades for a while. | Philosophy Chat Room 22 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
