Someone here

Disagree.

Exactly the same Chop wood.. Carry water.

Which one? And source please.

These medicines are well known for curing anxiety and obsession.. I take them. And from My personal experience they are helpful. That's why I suggested them to OP because he suffers from the same issue. You then told him to not take them because they will ruin his life... So you need to elaborate on that before preventing him from taking the medications.

Could you elaborate? Why?

@Gesundheit LOL. In summary I was saying just like you don't like being responsible.. Some people are naturally gifted they can handle it.. They actually enjoy it and you could say it's a genetic thing. Just like personality types. It depends from person to another.

@Gesundheit I don't know. BUT.... There are two choices before every human being. Really... it is one either/or choice. The choice is whether you want to live or die. Each option contains a set pattern of choices included within the base choice as to the personal performance and real meaning of the base choice. For or against? By answering that question in relation to any individual and the meaning of his/her choices.. you can find whether thet have currently chosen life or death.. if you understand the entire pattern. It is not difficult.. however.. because for or against is a golden ratio reducing every choice to the lowest common denominator. For life necessarily includes for God.. for truth.. for good.. for right.. for other people.. for peace.. for love.. for cooperation.. for listening.. for freedom.. and for personal responsibilty to act within the parameters God has built into existence.. because they welcome God's guidance. Just as there are two choices.. there are two types of people. Givers and takers.. humans and beastly.. meek and haughty.. humble and arrogant.. there are those who do not really want to be followers.. but they are shy.. not self assertive and those who want to boldly dominate others. You can see that there are many contrasts like this that help to demarkate the opposing types.

Hey. Sorry to hear your suffering. I suffering from the same issue. I've been prescribed medications.. One week in and I'm feeling slightly better.. Maybe give them a try... -Zyprexa. -Clonazepam -Abilify. Diet and exercise and quitting bad habits (smoking cigs for me) is definitely helpful as well.

According to psychologists... power is a slight impulse that we naturally long for. Power has been proven to be a great common desire of man of all different races for all of our time on this Earth. Humanity has been evolving socially and economically in the same way for all of our years of existence.. they were driven by power. It is the sole ability that men seek over others to control ones behavior or change a course of events. President is enjoying his own fo sho lol....His family would be charged $500,000 a year and send the teen only to therapy and a juvenile school.. claiming he needed so called “help.” From this I can conclude that being financially prosperous in our society gives one the power of repaying for their unforgivable mistakes. Fame and power and money.. My friend. Those are this era's god.

Me first lol.. Just a quick message for Truth seekers..... This path is about Truth. If what you have is not the truth.. It's important to let it go. Why hold on to that which is ultimately not true? In order to do that.. you have to investigate honestly your ideas. Truth is not a belief.. Idea.. Concept.. Ideology etc. Truth is simply that which is found and /or alingned with direct experience. I see a lot of bullshit on this forum.. People talking about stuff they have no experience of whatsoever (past lives.. Reincarnation.. miracles of Jesus etc) ...and it makes me wonder what's the reason for falling for bullshit?? Why are we not immune to nonsense?? It's important to learn epistemology. How do you know something? And is certain knowledge of the world even possible? Are good questions to contemplate. Yes it is possible to have certain knowledge. And you will find no certain source of certain knowledge other than direct experience. Please ground your work in direct experience and stop repeating stuff you heard 'others ' talk about. Peace

Why do you care? If i told you that I highly dislike you..why would that upset you? The solution is stop giving a shit about what others think about you.

What's all the drama about? ?

Nihilism is a philosophy of life which says that nothing matters. That all of existence is simply pointless and empty of any objective meaning.. Purpose or value. There are many different types of nihilists. The most common ones from what I can tell are existential nihilist.. who deny that there is an inherent meaning in life.. and moral nihilist.. who deny that there is an inherent morality. These types of people claim that such concepts are not universal and far from objective. In the realization that these concepts do not exist in reality.. the only sensible way I can see to get through these problems is to create your own morality or meaning in life. There are many other kinds of nihilists as well.. such as epistemlogical nihilist.. who claim that the acquisition of knowledge is impossible. Ideas like good and evil.. right and wrong.. value.. meaning.. worth etc. are often treated as objective ideas but if you were to observe nature that's divorced from human society.. none of those qualities are intrinsic to it. Such ideas are ultimately born from the human consciousness.. and thus dependent on it. Thus they are reliant entirely on the mind that thinks them. making them subjective. And hold zero value objectively. The mindset of a nihilist.. at least in my experience.. is one of progression. They can see what (they perceive) is true and false.. and they abandon the falsities and move forward in the knowledge of the truth. Many existential nihilists abandon what society or some other organization objectifies as "meaningful" or "successful" and makes of it what they will. To some nihilists.. All that matters is the quality of the present moment.. Cuz that's all there is. So often they are open to hedonism.. Chasing what gives them immediate pleasure might be a preferable way of doing life since it's all a big meaningless vanity in the end.

Yes and no. To different degrees. Just like everyone else as @bejapuskas said.

@Nahm @Gesundheit it's a simple question.. Do you believe that there is an inherent objective meaning to existence? If not then you are a nihilist.. If yes.... Well apparently that's not correct because the meaning is projected by the individual and not inherent in reality. Being is meaningless and that's not negative because negative is still meaning. It's just meaningless.

@Gesundheit who gets to decide?? Me or you or that dog? That's why I say meaning is "subjective".

@Gesundheit OK sorry for that. Maybe because it was a bit lengthy. Could you summarize the point you're making? What do you mean by absolute meaning? About meaningless being meaningful or meaningless??? Yeah it goes full circle and then it collapse into being which is neither meaningful nor meaningless.

Also.. A question that nihilists rise is what's the point of life? What's the purpose of your individual existence? Aside from fulfilling your biological needs...... What the hell are you doing here? ?

@Gesundheit I'm not advocating nihilsm. I'm asking for your opinion on it. I think a good way to treat it is When you look at the context of all ideas of right and wrong.. justice.. value.. morals.. etc. It's all subjective in a true sense. However.. nihilism shouldn't be the end of the road for people I think. So.. ultimately life is pointless.. there is no meaning or value to anything. But we have the rare condition of conciousness.. we can "give" it meaning.. we can give it value and we can make systems to make it worthwile. So.. in a sense we can create something out of nothing and be our own gods. Values can be set upon an objective petri dish and measured and observed. Yet without losing sight of the fact that it's all subjective (made up).

Completely relative.. Subjective.. And fluid.

@Loba why all this rage? What's your issue? Are you going through tough times emotionally?

You create your own purpose and values and meaning (or you don't) while being aware that you are creating it (making it up). That is if you are an existential nihilist. If you are an ordinary person.. You borrow the meaning from religions and or an outside authority that you don't question (because you are not conscious enough to question your beliefs). For a nihilist.. there is no "objective" meaning flying around and that's true. and a nihilist generally doesn’t try to find a subjective meaning to life either. But here is a contradiction.. if you are alive.. that means you have found some reason to live.. something that makes life preferable to death. It is impossible to (rationally) live without a reason because we all suffer and feel pain. Without any reason to endure suffering a rational person would commit suicide.. and cease to live. So as a nihilist.. you can recognise that there is no inherent meaning to life.. and any meaning we create for ourselves is an illusion and a distraction from the truth and finding a meaning in life still doesn’t change anything on an existential level; you will die.. cease to exist and forget everything. But for a nihilist to live.. they have to have some reason.. it might not be concrete or specific, it may be complex or they have decided just to live for the sake of it. Why should it matter if anything matters objectively anyway? Try to detach from the need for meaning.

@Loba @Loba My love.. Just gtfo.

@Loba Aren't you the one who just spam people's journals and PMs with this sort of silly personal judgment and getting toxic in analyzing their personalities when you don't even know them??? Nah hard to take you seriously sorry. Next!
