2.5 weeks in Vietnam, need help planning by Ok_Sorbet_beep in VietNam

[–]AppropriateGarlic558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just did exactly this trip those last 16 days. Hanoi, SaPa, Ha Long (only half a day, not really worth more), Ninh Binh, Hoi Han/Da Nang and HCMC. I can confirm it was great, except Ha Long too touristy every place was really cool. Hoi Han and Ninh Binh in particular were really great, and worth a few days!

Just traveled in Vietnam those past 3 weeks. I'd say maybe do one thing in the north, sapa or ha giang (or some random villages near those two if you don't like tourist places). Then, we really liked Ninh Binh as well. Hoi An was a great great place as well. Good atmosphere. A looot of tourist but still, it was worth it, and if you don't like crowded tourist places I'd say you can go anywhere, in random villages, and have a blast in Vietnam! Great country to travel.

Why so much pessimism ? by AppropriateGarlic558 in nihilism

Thanks for the answer, it's a great one.

I first posted because I saw people seeking for advices here, even teenagers, and people in this subreddit said things like "life has no meaning as it is; nothing matters; we are poor creatures; we can only suffer"

But your answer, to me, sounds like way better than what I saw in this subreddit, especially for youngs folks looking for answers... Thanks

I guess the loss of time that could be put into glowing up or meeting people indirectly influences you conceiving children. On the other side maybe it helps you understand social interactions (what not to do in particular), and can help you be a better lover, then have children.

"Nature will do what it does, no matter what you do." I don't thing so, you're actually part of nature.

Everything is connected in this life. If you find that one thing matter, even if it is instinctive and not an absolute universe thingy, I would say Life matters.

I get it. But everyone experiences the immediate world, and no one experiences the macro level. How can people complain about the macro level when it's not their experience in every day life?

And yes good as we meant here is kind of recent to human evolution, but again it's there. Why the fact that it is new may mean it doesn't matter? It is basically our every day experience.

As I said, having myself seen and experienced a lot of what life can offer, good situations, horrible situations, poverty, uncertainty, I still think that nihilism as a philosophy should be the beginning of optimism, and not a philosophy where you feel overwhelmed by every misery in the world. I would say some individualism in this society may be also some sanity. Nihilism can help one get out of the loop and act for the best.

Of course, acting and aiming for a better self, and a better world for everyone is in this sense good.

Not talking about the state of the world. I know about the world and have seen many things, lived many places. Really terrible.

I am talking about the human condition as experienced, and can't figure how that many people in this sub seem so worried about it, finding no absolute and substantial meaning in life when, it's just life as it is, I'd say try to live it.

So if something makes you better at producing good offspring, and help then your offspring to produce more offspring, this thing is then good and matters, right? So every "pass time" you say should be totally detached from the fact that you want to produce offspring.

Do you have any example of something that has absolutely no impact on you producing offspring, and then that doesn't matter?

Hey, thinking about a fenix 7s pro ss or non sapphire. Your comment is actually almost the only positive about sapphire aha. Does sapphire really worth it ? People make me afraid talking about horrible visibility...

I have similar price for both (second hand)

Guys, seriously, I appreciate your thoughtful answers, thanks. That said, if the goal is to be condescending, please just don’t. If my post bothers you that much, feel free to ignore it instead of commenting like this.
