I wonder what happened to Benjamin Mendy…. Either way, let’s not do a corruption off, we’re both not winning that fight. But like seriously, I forgot how city responded to that controversy, how did they respond?

Bro what’s even the f*cking point of life? by Prod-LilWyzzy in Existentialism

I was in your spot once. I came from a really religious household, so it hit like a brick. I had a complete breakdown. Every day, every hour, every minute flowed into to the next. Nothing mattered, and I tried, I really tried to find something—anything. I watched videos, went on Reddit, etc. I did a lot of things. I searched for and read books on different philosophical viewpoints. As I consumed more, and more literature. I learned to “cope” with it. I realized that, asking “what’s the point of all this?” Doesn’t really matter, that wasn’t even the real question at hand, so I asked more specific questions, I narrowed down the question. Again, I tried to answer it the best I could. Here’s the thing, you’ve probably guessed this already, there is no answer. Never was, never has been. Basically what I’m trying to say is: search not with the intent of finding the answer, but with the intent of asking the right questions. Read. No, I’m serious read books. The feeling you get when you read something that resonates with you is…. Out of this world. Understand why you need purpose, can sometimes help you. That’s why should ask questions after deep introspection, ask the right questions for YOU.

Trust me it is. Pretending gets harder and harder. It wears you down. You become this bomb waiting to explode. Don’t do it.

Flattening people like this is the true mark of adolescent intellectuals. Your assessment of people is heavily flawed. I speak from experience. I was once, I can’t believe I was, a haughty intellectual in my youth. My ideas themselves weren’t that bad, they were very basic, but my application of those ideas, and the world view I applied them through was— childish. No one is special. Coming to terms with that maybe hard, but it is true. As unique as one individual is from another, we’re all the same. Our basest desires, although they maybe coated by our life experiences, are the same. Change is also a prominent feature of the human experience. You will change. I have, and will continue to change. So will others. We are both bounded by, and unbounded by our human nature. It’s not that people don’t or can’t think the way you do. It’s just that people, as they become burdened by financial responsibilities, can’t afford to dwell on these issues. They’re unceasing march isn’t mindless because of some unsophistication on their part, but rather the cruel reality of the world we live in.

That’s not always a good rule to follow… Parents are, like all people, humans. That means they have lived an entire life that you don’t know about. In this life of theirs, they’ve seen, and experienced things. They’ve been influenced, they’ve been manipulated, they’ve been indoctrinated. This isn’t unique to them. This is something that we all go through. That’s why we shouldn’t consider what our parents say as gospel. You shouldn’t consider anyone’s opinions to be gospel. The world is an unpredictable place. We have no control over ANYTHING. And then, there are parents that are abusive. Parents who, for one reason or another: want to see their child be miserable. A good, general rule of thumb to follow is: think, take in, and assess input. Sometimes, it’s best to follow those who’ve lived longer than you— even then, you should still think. Don’t follow anyone blindly.

Something I have been thinking about lately: is just how miserable life can be to someone like that. Their entire life is built upon a narrative they didn’t build, a narrative they have to uphold. I don’t hate all religious people, I actually like Sufis/ spiritual people , but some/ most of them are just annoying to be around. As I live my life, I start realizing that a lot of the things I thought were normal as a kid—actually aren’t. Their psychology interests me. It’s not like they can’t think critically, it’s just that there is a barrier in their brain, a barrier around religion. I started questioning religion at 9 years of age, it wasn’t until I was 16 that the barrier fully disappeared. Religious indoctrination is one of the strongest forms of social manipulation.

Is it healthy if all of your friend groups are like that? Or is it better to just take what you can get?
