Is Life Really Too Long Or Too Short!?
You know, it's interesting, but in all the years I couldn't put this in words, an Anti-Natalist Channel I am subscribed too happened to answer the TRUE reason for why people perceive Life the wrong way.
The statement they made is as follows:
"The truth is that Life is TOO LONG, but it seems short because Life isn't really worth much and there is too little of enjoyment in it, and that's why life SEEMS SHORT."
This perfectly sums up the truth of it.
This is the type of quote that makes you think you’re a ‘tard for not realising this so much earlier, a bit like watching a sv3rige video and seeing him spout common sense and you not realising this whole time up until this point. “Common sense isn’t so common” as they say
ReplyDeleteI really don’t understand humans. I have sat with both my dying grandparents in the past. And not once did they ever confide with me how shit life really is, or apologise that due to their actions, I too will also face cancer and entropy like they have. Not a single thought that, I too, am destined to be bed bound and cancerous like they were. Life must have been so much better before the 2000s I guess. This 2020 era is bringing antinatalism to the table.
ReplyDelete@Kyle,
DeleteI can definitely understand how you feel on that with the cancer, but I will say to be honest that cancer is actually FAR less worrisome than are some other inheritable diseases.
For starters, everyone is born with the genes and capabilities for cancer to be activated in the body, but lifestyles and other factors can "activate" these genetics due to a certain lifestyle or habit, but it's not a guarantee that you or other descendants will get cancer, as much as it can be issues say if someone has Diabetes or Crohn's Disease, or any kind of Digestive Disorders, Allergies or even Sinus problems. Even though many of these things for example CAN be corrected by proper diet, the issue is that the offspring will remain more vulnerable to problems or falling into a state where they are plagued with suffering from these issues.
The parents who have these health issues knowingly and have children who will almost more than certainly inherit them, are absolutely barbaric and cruel.
Also, things like Depression, Anxiety and even Emotional Responses to stimuli. even Addictive Personalities are often inherited from the family, so if someone has parents which drink a lot of alcohol or smoke a lot, especially a long family history of it, the more likely the children will develop these habits as well to cope in life, because what goes unanswered is what led the parents or family members to engage in the self-destructive habits to cope with life for starters.
This life is extremely cruel.
Anti-Natalism will definitely conquer.
@PSA in a way cancer is trying to save your life. But still it sounds like it can be painful. It is cruel that we are scared to self delete but we will have to go through the painful death process, so it is like why wait until then when we can get it over with now.
DeleteI have a history of alcohol drinkers in my family, so I have to be careful.
I got recommended an antinatalism channel on YouTube yesterday. Which shows the movement is growing. A lot of people still don’t even know what the word means, but we are getting there.
@Kyle,
DeleteSure, some cancers can be painful or more agonizing than others, but there's always a chance someone may "not" get it, even if it runs in the family. But inheriting conditions that are automatic from parents can be the worst.
Yes, we are definitely getting a lot of progress with Anti-Natalism, and keep in mind we're only in the first "innings" of its takeoff. As life conditions really deteriorate, I mean REALLY deteriorate badly, it's going to gain more and more traction.
Don't get me wrong, there will always be people who continue to have children no matter what, that will never end, but Anti-Natalism will win once there's a negative stigma and stereotype associated with "breeds" and having children / becoming a parent, and that is the major turning point to look forward too.
There are probably many more Anti-Natalists in our midst right now, of every age, but they have just been too timid to speak out.
@PSA lets hope we have painless deaths. Another realisation I just had, is it’s not only about the death. A person could have all sorts of knocks and cuts in their lifetime, and go through excruciating pain. But recover and die a painless death. So really living is the problem not death.
DeleteWowww this is so accurate.
ReplyDeleteI swear to god the number of good experiences I've had in my life here has got to be under 20 and it was usually at family outings where I got to play with other kids.
EVen at school it wasn't good even though we were surrounded by people our age, people were cliquey and we were under a lot of rules, so barely allowed to have fun.
I've forgot most of it, which is crazy since it takes up about 13-18 years of your life. What a waste of time!! Same with the sport I played for years that my mom forced me into, I think it helped stunt my development, it was super stressful and I quit anyway. Now I barely remember it.
I do feel kind of dissapointed about how my life has gone in this way,
especially because by the age you have any control over it, a large part of your youth has already happened.
Honestly I still have 1-4 more things on my checkbox in this life and then I'll see what I think but I don't expect things to change astronomically.
I think the boringness and meaninglessness of life is also amplified by living in America or basically any country that lacks culture but has a ton of rules and is very 'matrixy'. But what can I do about that?
@T345,
DeleteYes. It's way way worse now to have any good experiences, especially with other people.
Even right now, the last experience I had was last Fall, and it was an event I had planned for, for a long time which was supposed to commence earlier at a different location, however it got canceled initially. I spent a lot of money and preparations for the event, and thankfully it turned out to be one of my best life experiences, because it would have even been that much more sour if it went bad. But it was also the last social outing I had around "normal" people who were pleasant to be around, everyone had great energy and I did not feel drained! I haven't had a social experience where I hadn't felt drained in such a long time, and sadly I think that will be the last event in my life that happens to be that way, but it was a very niche event / gathering.
It takes so much energy and things falling into place and at the right time of choosing to try to make good experiences come to life, and it's now more difficult to make those experiences happen for anyone, I think even irrespective of age.
It's a whole new world now after the stupid "COVID".
I also had a few more small things on my checklist as well, but I'm not sure if I'll be following through with them, I'm too tired :/
But if you have the chance to attempt what you want to do, might as well if you have the opportunity because as time passes, the chances are going to get less and less.
I used to think that the world was a lot less "Matrixy" as you mentioned than what I had realized has changed in the last 40 years, almost all countries feel the same to me, and to be honest, even these so-called "traditional, ancient" cultures, I have not been too impressed with my interactions in those parts of the world either.
There is something about the cognitive processing and a lack of something "agile" in these people's brains and personalities, that I just lose patience with and have a horrific time communicating with them even outside of any language barrier, and it's not even an issue with being from a "Western country" as such, but people really are just mostly NPC's anywhere and everywhere, and they are following their programmed scripts.
@PSA Yes.... I feel exhausted too PSA so I can only imagine what it must feel like to be here for another 30 years...that sounds long even thinking about it. I feel like I'll be a breathing corpse by then unless I preserve my energy better. We have to put a lot into this life, with very little out.
DeleteI'm not even as socially proactive as you've been from what it sounds like,
and even after what I've gone through I just kind of expect the worse from people, it's made me very antisocial & it's simply draining. It really is a double edged sword... "damned if u do damed if u don't"
Managing a crowd, especially on your own, sounds even worse because from what I've seen, momentum and moral dies quickly, especially among antisocial and unmotivated people who won't carry the weight, and is that not what COid worsened!
To me, special events like that or being surrounded by like mindedish people having a good time- should happen at least 2-3 times a week, not once every other year!!!!
Not suggesting anything, but so few good experiences really does make you question if it's worth putting up with all that we have to.
It's too bad if you can't check your checklist PSA :( ,
you've already tried so much already tho,
I really can't blame you, even I feel a little bit hesitant about everything on my list.
I kind of doubt there's some undiscovered formula about living in this society, it's def luck at best with finding the right people or place. Even if you're in the 'wrong place' it can be hard to move 'to the right place' because u don't have connections or a support structure, and to be honest I don't think different parts of the USA are the world of a difference, but it's definitely an upgrade if the place you live really sucks.
I think people from traditional cultures are like what you said with a bad character can hide behind a religious upbringing, I don't think the people born into them these days are necessarily special or better, they just happened to be born somewhere with a better or strong culture not as touched by the western world. Also I definitely see other problems with other countries too, it really is kind of dissapointing though because it feels like there's no escape.
And I notice these people from traditional cultures are as corruptable and swayed by western ideas once exposed as most others.
The last good experience I had overseas where I had a good experience was in Tuscany ITaly. I've known many immigrants and traveled somewhat and not really experienced much
@T345,
DeleteThe degree to how bad things have gotten with going to places or events, or things you want to do in recent years, at least on "my end" has been so bad, that I've been finding myself feeling totally out of place and uncomfortable and needing to "escape" from these places. That's how bad it is.
Just like when I went to some Special Halloween event last year, or it was supposed to be... It ended up being pathetic, and some weird girl ended up giving me dirty glances the whole time at the bar. And as the night proceeded onwards, there was NO Halloween or Spooky music being played, they were playing RAP and HIP-HOP, and other stupid mainstream music, yet calling this a "Halloween Party".
So many events are turning out to be like this, where the "theme" of the event has almost nothing to do with what is on paper, almost as if the people who are 'in the know" know it's not going to be the real deal and you shouldn't expect otherwise, unless you are an "outsider".
I went to some "festival" earlier this summer, which was free, but the festival had literally almost NOTHING to do with the intended purpose and if you tried talking to anyone there about the subject, they looked and acted like you were "weird" and none of them had any experience or knowledge about the topic except for the guest speaker.
I'm just so tired of how retarded this world has become, and it's become infinitely more retarded since "COVID".
The first time I heard of this was from Charles Bukowski...
ReplyDeleteHe observed that he didn't care about death or think of it much because of the cycles we go through in life. And how everything in life was so dam repetitive.
This is accurate. I do think life is definitely too long.
Also, the trauma we all will get in this life is just not cool. No need to engage with the trauma. I puposely, for example, don't answer some emails or even open up some mail, that I don't seem to work in my favor.
I also do my best to avoid signing things.
The contract from a signature is pure evil.
Doing things like being a rebel in everyday life, will be good for most of us real humans. If you approach life this way, you are better off. Stop returning every phone call. And in some cases, fall way behind in your work duties.
