Life is a shit hole of a spectrum; in the tragedic extreme, you will find artists, philosophers, and the suicidals. You go to the aesthetic extreme you will find a group of gooses, under Stockholm's measure, screaming how great and beautiful the earth is despite the fact that children just starved to death as they speak. Now, what should we do? what do you think is an optimal way to approach existence? well, say right now you're pathologically traumatized (like that's why we're here) — do you still remember the 'happiness(?)' that you felt when you saw that person you adore the most that make you forget about your personal trauma? right, now you title that feeling as X (there's actually a lot of fancy words to define such feeling or experience, e.g Qualia, but let's just say X); Now, I'd argue X is universal, meaning we can utilize certain things on earth under the impression of X. Because X is not that person, X is a manifestation of the existential force in your brain; a power within yourself to survive in this world, and no one understands your X better than you; not even all gods' knowledge combined would be able to define your experience towards X as well as you do. That's the first bottom line: utilize the spark of X in anything healthy, not just a person, inside your reality. Does that mean we need to fall in love with this cruel world? not really, you can still paint the beauty of the cosmos without loving it (loving it in the sense that you'd do anything for it, to defend it). For example, you can be an anti-natalist, a philosophical position where you reject the justification of bringing a child into this world, but you better keep that in secret because you don't want people with kids to bark at you, that's the same way you don't want to brag about Jesus in a Mosque that has 4 wardrobes full of AK-47 (I was a Muslim and yes this is a dark joke, we need a dark joke so don't put this down). And that's the second bottom line: an ability to dance and share the love with many people despite the horror of being conscious. Now if we combine these bottom lines, we get a sentence, which is written in the title. Now please, hey, drink water — because that fucking helps I'm not kidding.

"Was it worth it?" asked a cloaked figure, not entirely sure where he's trying to go from here. "The whole thing?" I asked back. "...

Another Joke ;D
What do you call a pencil with erasers at both ends? (Scroll down to see answer) s c r o l l i n g s c r o l l i n g Answer: Pointless!...
This all makes sense- but what if one has lost the ability to make touch with X? What then?
ReplyI strongly believe it would be the 'gentle' cultivation of passion to find or revive X. And in the journey of that, things can either go nihilistic or existentialistic; and neither is right or wrong, but nihilism will not provide you the drive to collect more details in this infinite reality in order to achieve a (not perfect) but somewhat comfortable relationship between you and the X, which will make you attractive to street cats, because street cats statistically hate grumpy humans. And trust me, cats can be an efficient benchmark sometimes!
ReplyHaha, great, where did you get the cat thing from?
ReplyIt's directly from my morbid trauma of being ignored by this particular street cat that I really love! — it's sad!
ReplyOh! Tbh I find most street cats are unfriendly and when one is friendly I am pleasantly surprised
ReplyThe friendly ones are gems, aren't they!! I mean I don't blame the unfriendly ones, they probably have an inflated ego from their ancestors who were worshipped by the Egyptians
ReplyHaha true true
ReplyI love this.
