rpgamer Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I thought to myself somewhere in my 20s "Am I seriously expected to keep doing all this same boring shit every day every year for another 60+ years?" It's like being stuck on a roller coaster forever. Kinda fun and novel at first, before descending into monotony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimModSponges Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) You don't experience the time after you're dead, so the time in which you exist is your eternity. Edited September 12, 2020 by SwimModSponges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieg67 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 The thought of not existing for me is terrifying. Your body may become other things but death is permanent. Even if you believe in reincarnation, what's the point if you don't remember your previous lives? Your memories is what makes you, you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resurrected Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I was kind of thinking this today actually. Not about dying but, is this what life is supposed to be? I was reading in the newspaper and it sorta put things into perspective a little. Like, we spend so much time worrying over shit that doesn't really matter, that we forget to enjoy living. Of course, part of my joy of living is pointing out what pathetic c u next Tuesday's some people are. Then I just embrace my inner evil and Laissez les bons temps rouler.

When it comes to belief regarding God mine is some degree of the deism and pantheisms beliefs, as for death that I lean very much so toward the buddhist belief and have seen and read a lot that enforces my belief in that. I believe that if someone lived a full life or served their purpose in life, or achieved enlightenment they move on, but if not them it's a cycle of rebirth that happens until you get it right. It's now the understanding that our universe is one of many, if not infinite universes. Over the span of infinity the same variables will repeat themselves, meaning eventually you could be back where you started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackNoir Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I can be reckless with my life, but i love it....Kind of depressing that people are meh about dying....Maybe because i don't believe in any afterlife or reincarnation and I just know this is it....And this is kinda fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distinct Lunatic Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) One thing I often consider is the idea that the human cognition plays a role into what happens after death. If lets say an afterlife does exist, if it's because people believe that one does. I watch a ton of videos and documentaries that have talked about quantum mechanics, and how quantum particles behavior can be influenced based on whether or not someone was observing it, having a different outcome based on that. There's that one law that says information in the universe can't be destroyed. Even if something fell into a black hole the current theory is that the information still isn't destroyed, and that a copy of it exists inside of the black hole. When it comes to quantum particles, they say even if you burned a book the information it stored isn't truly gone, that if we some how had the tools to do so, the particles that it was made from could be put back together. And then there's the theory that's growing in acceptance that there's an endless number of universes. Even if heat death were to happen, another universe would eventually take its place. There's this one person I watch online, he's an atheist (and I've seen a few other atheists on other boards repeat the same thing) and he cited Futurama for the way they portrayed that, in the episode where they keep going forward in the future and eventually decide to watch the end of the universe, just for a new, nearly identical one to take it's place.

RainyDayJizz#35 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Hah, I like these. I don't know what awaits me in death or life, but so far the life part has a slight bit of drudgery to it for not a lot of payoff for some lifestyles. There are plenty of things I want to see as soon as I work that corporate ladder and secure a livable wage to actually take the time to enjoy life. Like the tax breaks 2.5 kids gets you. I would love to get a flyover of places humans literally cant explore because doing so would kill us. I want to spend a week looking at the life surrounding those places. But I got this job and this car note and shit, and I wanna visit my family. 1 hour ago, BlackNoir said: I can be reckless with my life, but i love it....Kind of depressing that people are meh about dying....Maybe because i don't believe in any afterlife or reincarnation and I just know this is it....And this is kinda fun. But you have kids, and you get this extra vicarious thrill of watching new life that you can guide grow. I get a bit of this from my nieces and nephews, they're all amazing kids. And I have some biological attachment I get to experience, my niece went to a neighbor's house at a block party and when we couldn't find her I was looking for her like a terminator. As soon as we found her I told her very seriously to make sure she tells her parents where she's going when she's running around at a party. She was four but I knew she was smart enough to know why that's important. Kids have passed for me I think, I don't want to be some in shape 50 year old throwing the football with me 10 year old kid. I want to be an in shape 50 year old biking mountain trails and shit. Speaking of everyone is buying bikes right now and it's infuriating. I have been abusing myself for far to long, so I guess I'll buy weed and wait for the bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpgamer Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 A question for you, with a somewhat similar mindset. Do you find that there's anything in life you truly fear? Like, that gut-wrenching, brain shuts down fear. Not just a momentary surge of panic at some potentially serious threat; I'm not entirely sure that ever goes away, hard wired. Maybe it's just my relatively boring comfortably life style, but, I've often thought that, without that fear of death, all other fears just can't seem to catch hold.

Maybe it's just my relatively boring comfortably life style, but, I've often thought that, without that fear of death, all other fears just can't seem to catch hold. I'm breaching old, but I don't think of fear as a bad thing. If I tried to invade a wolf pack I wouldn't do it like that grizzly man, I'd fucking act like an outsider wolf and if they give a shit about me hanging around they will. But of course I have the ability to influence their willingness to accomodate my presence. A male elephant in musk is terrifying, and if you aren't afraid of that you're stupid. Here's a thing, I don't want to go on carnival rides anymore because I no longer trust any corporation to maintain them properly. Maybe Disney but I give a shit about most Disney so there's that. Things like that I don't see much as a fear but a decision to avoid stupid risk. If I jump out of a plane with a parachute it's because the plane is going to crash or I somehow became a paratrooper in an insane turn of events. Speaking of, why don't commercial airlines have back hatches and parachutes as standard safety precautions? It can't be too expensive to prepare for and no one is going to give a shit about lost luggage when they survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
