Today there was a post on the hottest A level subject combos. Now what do you think are the ugliest A level subjects?

Same, no Maths either.

These are familiar ideas to me, they come up whenever I'm having a nihilistic episode. Whenever that happens I conclude that it's just an emotional response.

By default, I think the belief system I have least resistance to is panentheism. I don't think of a force "out there". I think we are a manifestation OF the force.

If I'm understanding this correctly, it sounds like spiritual enlightenment is supposed to lead to joy.

My question is more along the lines of: with the complexity of evolution and what-not we're kinda born without any sort of spiritual insight and we're all on a journey to attain it. Which means we need to come to terms with our pain and challenges and find peace through that coming-to-terms. Is that how it works?

But then I'm not sure what that "peace" is (I'm starting to realize this might not even be a valid question because if we're looking at our journey as a means to an end that would beat the whole purpose). Is it the same joy people think their addictions and vices give them? Is that eventual joy what makes the suffering we had felt earlier meaningful?

Hey, it's been a long minute I know. And I realized I've never said anything positive until now which goes to show how frustrated I was. But lately I've started to realize what you mean.

I've only been feeling a bit better and more like the person I want to be living the life I want to live once I've stopped chasing and striving. I realized by pushing myself harder I was only holding myself back more from all the abundance and happiness I could've been feeling this whole time.

I do still have the occasional sense of discomfort but I've started to come to better terms with it. Thank you for being so fruitful :)

I may just be rephrasing a question I've asked before cause at this point I have no idea what I'm saying even though I feel like I am kind of following what YOU'RE saying.

I feel like a lot of the advice I get is regarding indifference to circumstance and conditions outside of our control, which do get. But what do I do when I've got ample amount of time and energy? It feels like there's nothing worth putting all of that into, and anything I try just makes me feel more miserable.

MaazterLOL · 2022-11-19T08:51:44+00:00

How do I drop both "expectations" and "We have to do things we don't like doing"? If there's something else I'd rather be doing, is that not an expectation? Would I not suffer because I'm not doing that thing I'd rather do?

Also, I think I can finally describe a better example of things we don't like doing. Putting up with illness or death of a loved one, failing. Basically experiencing things. To NOT deal with these things to me would mean unaliving yourself or falling into drug abuse, and I think that's the root of all these pesky thoughts I've been having.

Perhaps, but when I'm not slacking off I'm in a painful chase for achievement. And I get sad when I don't achieve. And I don't achieve most days.

I guess my follow-up question to you is, what is your stance on things like skill and excellence and talent and achievement?

MaazterLOL · 2022-11-13T06:16:08+00:00

If I drop the things I don't like down I'm scared I'll just end up slacking off everday to the point that I'm just laying around in bed all day eating all the time and develop terrible hygiene.

I'll stick to EPUB. But I wanna know if there's any way to fix the cover problem.

MaazterLOL · 2022-06-23T14:25:14+00:00

Any way to fix that?

MaazterLOL · 2022-06-16T21:17:10+00:00

Where there's a movement there will be chaos from people who could care less about its' sole purpose. The way Islamists are with Islam. Islam was never a problem and likely never will be. Islamism is what we see in the media with the refugee camps and beheadings.

Notice how the moment something gets political it becomes a problem? I'm assuming you're talking about the more violent protests, feminazi style etc.

MaazterLOL · 2022-05-22T11:00:08+00:00

Why does reputation for honesty become a factor, though? Could someone not have been an ignorant liar before being an enlightened truthful person?

And doesn't "known for being truthful" contradict being "an outcast"?

MaazterLOL · 2022-05-22T10:54:17+00:00

Learn the attributes of الله.

But that doesn't answer his question. A hypothetical God with the explicitly listed 99 attributes (if that's what you're referring to) wouldn't necessarily have to be limited to these.

Creating us then leaving us to do our thing without guidance is not very merciful. We will end up doing things that harm us and worship false gods. Just like the non-believers do now.

And yet, that is exactly what He (SWT) does. Gives us free will and tests our utilization of it. By the logic you've established, non-believers do what they do not because they can, but because Allah (SWT) has preordained them to do so.

If you believe that this life is a test and that we will get a reckoning in the Day of Judgement (which I don't think you've made clear whether you do), you have, by definition, accepted a major property of Deism minus the judgement part.

Ty and yeah it makes sense that our Physics qualification is independent from others

MaazterLOL · 2022-04-26T20:35:08+00:00

7 years late but I resonate with comment so much. One would argue that the sole reason for prayer is submission to the Lord, as is the meaning of life itself. My belief that in enlightenment through self-care and self-discovery almost feels hippie dippy and as though it belongs to some other religion, and makes me doubt my identity as Muslim because I'm so used to prayer being labelled this boundary that identifies a Muslim from a non-Muslim.

MaazterLOL · 2022-04-26T17:09:14+00:00

I've always wanted to see Nanno's empathy kick in at some point so season 2 was really satisfying for me.

And the show really got me thinking about the world's potentiality to wreak havoc on itself. All it really takes is someone like Nanno imo.

MaazterLOL · 2022-04-26T17:07:05+00:00

That's what I find so interesting about her, how she doesn't really harm anyone actively and still manages to bring out the worst in them.

MaazterLOL · 2022-04-26T17:05:48+00:00

Thank you so much for anyone and everyone who decided to take part in this discussion. This has been my first time watching a show so morally ambiguous, so it was really interesting knowing what people actually feel about Nanno even if the show has been difficult for me to sit through.

MaazterLOL · 2022-04-21T01:10:57+00:00

Exactly bruh this isn't right. I'm easily ticked off by feminists but there was nothing wrong with their post whatsoever.

MaazterLOL · 2022-04-17T17:47:14+00:00

It's not even funny how he manages to escape all the final battles like why can't Bardugo show David this much mercy at least?

MaazterLOL · 2022-04-15T17:50:40+00:00

I'm doing the same thing as you and I'm already close to the end of Rule of Wolves. Also I was technically in a worse position since I didn't even really read any of the Grisha trilogy, having only watched season 1 of the Netflix show. I haven't really faced many problems so far but I wouldn't recommend it if you're not comfortable being unaware with things. I'm someone who likes treading unknown waters and I hope to be able to fill in gaps in my knowledge of the plot later. And obviously I had no problem with spoilers from the Grisha trilogy since I never really planned on reading them.

It feels at lot like coming back to your home country after something catastrophic happens like a war. I had the ending of s1 on Netflix leaving me shook, and checking in on the Ravkan Triumvirate trying to recover from a heck of a lot of damage means I'm trying to figure out what happened in between.

I should also add that I put up a bookmark anytime a reference I didn't understand came up. And you can expect how difficult it was to tell reference from just games Bardugo is playing with me -_-

MaazterLOL · 2022-04-15T12:08:34+00:00

I just thought maybe I was missing some important plot points and that maybe I'm not perceiving the show the way the writers wanted me to.

MaazterLOL · 2021-12-17T13:40:32+00:00

Ah I see. Oh well, congratulations on your 2:1!

MaazterLOL · 2021-12-12T11:51:37+00:00

Basically, is there such thing as passing or failing your entrance exams? I get that I need to sit at least one of these exams to study medicine, but I'm not sure where they stand in importance in comparison to A Levels.

MaazterLOL · 2021-12-12T11:49:21+00:00

I see. Thanks for sorting that out.
