| Question: Is life meaningless? Posted: 28 Oct 2015 11:56 PM PDT Life is just life. What I mean is, we exist. That is our purpose. Life isn't meaningless, It's just something that we were chosen to do. I can't tell you what to believe in when it comes to life, god, blah blah blah, because well, I really don't know. Humans are really weird in the way they think. We believe in things we cannot see on faith in something that we do not know existed. If you think that life is meaningless, well just hear me out. Farebfrom here, with no McDonalds at every corner and the smell of gasoline in the air, lives a flower. This flower grew in the middle of nowhere, untouched by human hands. It grows, it collects sun, in drinks water, and then it dies. Then, went the season comes around again, another flower grows in its place. Different flower, same color, same spot, same seed. Life isn't meaningless, more like repetitive. Life doesn't have a purpose cause it doesn't need one. We just exist, we can't change the fact that things grown, things get old, things die, and then it repeats. We just carry the power in our human hands to do much more then other living things can, and thats a gift and a burden. So, ask yourself this. If we didn't exist what would be different? There would be no love, no laughter, no happiness, and that means something to us right. We may have started out meaningless, but created things that are meaningful.  |
| Question: Who is to be blamed in this universe ? Posted: 28 Oct 2015 11:33 PM PDT Well, maybe as a smuggler, there is still something in life that he accomplished that was extremely important. Maybe he saved someone's life. Maybe he changed his ways later, and then helped other people. Maybe he had a son or a daughter who became a very famous person. Only God knows the future, and what each person's life will become. We can't assume anything on the surface. Maybe the child who became a doctor got hooked on drugs, and got into criminal activity. Maybe he secretly murdered some of his patients or ex wives. Nothing in this life is assured. My siblings and I had the same wonderful parents. Yet we are radically different. I would never blame my mother for how they turned out, it would be unfair. Some things just can't be accounted for. |

Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' 27 "He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' 29 "Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' 30 "'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' 31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'" Luke 16:19-31 NIV listen what others say: |
| Question: Why do we even bother living? Posted: 28 Oct 2015 06:39 PM PDT WE don't. Evidently you do. My guess is that you are a sheeple that has not bothered to learn critical thinking techniques and is completely lost in the sauce (as all of us once were). Socrates said that "an unexamined life is not worth living". What he meant was that if a person is totally unaware of their self and why they do, say, and indeed think, what they do, they are really not living anyway. They are just surviving and going along for a ride. Perfection is not a goal really, it is a concept. We are always striving towards perfection, that is the "idea" never the reality. You are starting out in the correct direction. Learn and practice clear and honest critical thinking. Apply it to EVERYTHING in you head. ALWAYS know WHY your opinion is this or that. Believe whatever you choose, but know why you have made that choice. Some people start here: https://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/c... Good luck to you as you begin your journey into a life EXAMINED. Love and peace to you, forever. |

| Question: How does one remove love from their heart? Posted: 28 Oct 2015 03:57 PM PDT Simple, you focus on other things because "love" which isn't even a real thing is just like watching tv, playing a video game, participating in or watching sports, going to movies, its nothing more than a way to spend your time i.e. a time waster. You have other interests? Pursue them. You have other dreams? Try achieving them. You have family and friends that make you feel good about yourself and are happy to be around them? Then be around them more and show you appreciate them. Let me tell you something that no one ever told me and I would have been off a lot better then than I am now. There is no such thing as someone out there for everyone. Many people go years and years looking for the right one and then die never having found it. The porn industry, sex toy industry, prostitution, online dating (all of them even Eharmony are scams and many of its female users use it simply to engage in thirst trapping) and more would not be as big as they are if there was such a stupid thing as someone for everyone. There is no Mr./Mrs. right cause many people are giant ******* (there are just as many in the female community but many people are either too stubborn or too afraid to admit it). Love isn't even a real thing to begin with, its not some emotion that can be easily expressed because it isn't a single emotion. Admiration, affection, respect, trust, lust, desire, etc. It is the simplification of a series of these complex emotions coalescing around one individual in particular. Then it becomes an arduous balancing act to keep all those complex emotions going for that one individual or else you stop "loving" them. When someone loses respect for their partner then the house of cards starts to crumble and they stop "loving" them. Now to tell you something you are pretty much already privy to but to expand on it and that is a term I had to look up you used - Epicaricacy (which means to derive pleasure from another's pain). There are LOADS more people who do this and more often than not those who tell you to keep having hope or to keep looking are the primary people who enact in Epicaricacy. They do not give two ****s about you, all they care is about getting their next dosage of chuckles at the expense of the naive like its their own personal reality show to watch. The anonymous poster who didn't post "gaaaaay" is most likely engaging in Epicaricacy as we speak trying to fill you purposefully with false hopes and perhaps many others so that they may one day get to laugh at your misery. |
