Fuck the real world 6

The real world SUCKS.
Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we take Kratom and get high.
I feel foolish for ever judging Icelander on self-medicating. His idea that we are basically molded into who we are going to be in our childhood rings true to me.
This must be the reason why I make the same mistakes over and over again - Yes, I can learn from my mistakes - but there's a ton of shit I do repetitively that makes no sense. It only makes sense that I am broken in some way.
Maybe not broken.. but limited.
This could get into mystical territory, but I wonder just how limited we are versus our "unlimited self" that we may percieve when stoned or drugged.
When I drink alcohol it's really clear to me how limited I am because I have to take alchohol just to shift my being into a different place.
Limits, limits, limits.
That's the real world.
The real world is just you fucking fighting your limitations every day, making staggeringly slow progress. We tell ourselves it's all worth it, it will all pay off someday.
Maybe it will. Maybe it WON'T.
The real world is the opposite of psychedelic truth. It's brutal, fucking rapes your mouth.
We should all be taking kratom and nodding off

Disagree. The world is cruel and tough, but one day at a time you can grow into whatever you will IMO.
I think the problem for many of us is how many choices we have. Many of us have so many choices, we can't make up our minds...Then we do make up our minds and question if we made the right choice or not.
There's no limits at first, only perceived limits. As we grow though, we do become limited.
If your a 39 year old male who picks up a basketball for the first time, you aren't going to will yourself into the NBA. But you can become a coach 
You co-create the "real world.". If your real world sucks, change it.

Life Is all perception. I wake up every day doing the same thing I was doing yesterday and will be doing tomorrow. Some days I'm crippled with depression, Some days everything is generally pretty ok My whole perception of the world is at it's heart skewed because of my ongoing struggle with derealization, but that's a whole other can of worms.
I could go on all night about whats wrong with the world, life, and the whole damn human race in general, but it would get me nowhere. I figure if I've got to be here I might as well smell the flowers. As shitty as everything can be, You exist. Think about that for a moment. Somewhere somehow all that we perceive as reality came to be. all that has happened since fell into line so that You could have your run at existence. If thats not fucking fantastic I don't know what is.
Don't mind me just rambling like a lunatic.

Don't let it eat you up. I think that truth will always be in the back of your mind, but do what you can to make yourself happy. If that means self-medicating with Kava then go for it!
The good thing is that now that you have lowered your expectations, so when something great happens you will have a pleasant surprise.
Live day to day. For me a day above ground and a day that goes buy without something fucked up happening to or around me is a great day.
Keep your head up and handle it.

I might be able to empathize with you, had you said 'to feel something' or 'to lift my mood'.... but you went with the most flakey and emo of all possibilities, 'to shift my being into a different place'.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Lot's of good replies here. I hear ya bro and sometimes you just got to vent and spew it all out there and look at the bloody mess. Well now you have and it didn't fix anything so now you likely can see, or will see the wisdom in what all these fine folks are laying down. I say fine cause it looks like they see what you see from taking an honest look around. So we make the best of the situation There might be some gold in that river bed but there's a flood about to come crashing down it and grizzlies waiting in the woods if you try to scramble out. So fucking grab that gold and hold on tight and maybe they'll be just a moment to see it glitter and imagine what one might build with such material. All that shitty metaphor is from a dream I just woke from but you get the idea.

Life sucks. Real hard.
I look at people who are older, who've been "through it." They've experienced the hardships, and they still live to laugh on another day. (Or maybe cry on another)
I also think about a common "happy ending." Like someone who found the love of their life and married them, and lived happily for 50 years -- and then one day one of them goes.
I couldn't imagine that. Loving someone and sharing the greater majority of one's life with someone, and then one day, 50 years down the road, they wake up in a bed all alone. I guess I don't consider that too good of an ending. Maybe my view will change down the road.
Something I use to console myself is that NOBODY deserves existence. Nobody seemed to have sign a wavier, or agreed to the terms and conditions of life. It just seems like it's one big mess of suffering, angst, and despair. It could not be this way -- I hope so -- but I just see it that way.
Anyways, what I'm trying to get at is, we all do what we can to get by and cope with the condition of life. It's tough.
I guess I'm happy knowing that other people feel the same about life too.

Good post - I agree. Yeah it's not really a "happy" ending so to speak. A happier ending would be both dying at the same time, albeit it would be considered an unfortunate tragedy by people.

John: I DON'T WANT TO BE HUMAN! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays, and I -- I want to -- I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to -- I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me! I'm a machine, and I could know much more, I could experience so much more, BUT I'M TRAPPED IN THIS ABSURD BODY! AND WHY? Because my five creators thought that God wanted it that way!

There is alot of Bias going around in this thread , sure humanity is a current cesspool of suffering but you must be glad for your life to some extent right?

What a crock of shit. How do you know who deserves what or if that is even part of any equation? The fact is you exist and because you exist without signing , without knowing what you were getting into indicates that you deserve to be here if you want to call it that. All the things that are happening in this thread are a part of existence as far as we know such as the feedback sharing of ideas and opinions.
How can you verify any of these claims on existence besides with your own beliefs , you don't know what comes after if anything at all akin to what was before... Whats your basis of comparison that life sucks so bad please someone tell me about some other sort of existence you experienced that was not in this physical body on this planet.
IMO when it comes to depression which i am familiar with, I chalk it all up to my own lack of understanding. I don't see the difference between blaming existence for your suffering than blaming the Government?
You could jump off a bridge if you hated it so much like many have and you will no longer exist but the fact we are all here sharing suggests otherwise. Blaming existence is the biggest coppout that ever existed.
This is addressed to multiple persons in this thread , yes YOU.

Well I for one am very happy with my life and the opportunity for it, although I understand why someone who's life hasn't gone as swimmingly as mine might not agree.
Shit if things continued as they were in my childhood, eternal nothing would be preferential.

I get that man, some people are born into some really shitty circumstances that are hard to escape especially where third world countries are concerned and even in first world countries people suffer especially as the conditions keep growing worse. That's not my point though.
All I'm saying is we still don't have any grounds of comparison because as far as we know we only have existed here in this lifetime. Also I'm pretty sure existence came before man , like we did not create the earth but we did shit all over it that's for sure... that's on us though how could anyone blame existence for that.

Well the primary features of my childhood were neglect, starvation, violence and loneliness. Wasn't anything pretty about it, straight misery
All that taught me was to enjoy the goodtimes more, along those lines I feel sorry for people who had it easy and I genuinely pity those who grew up without reason to appreciate the good things in life. Having something to eat for dinner every night, some weed to smoke and halfway civilized company is more than I could ask for. Really, living well below the poverty line in the US has been living the high life for me.

Good on you man its a great thing when you don't take what you have for granted. I have seen many people who are born into situations of having any opportunity or thing they want and more often than not they end up struggling with existence all the same going mad on their own self demise or otherwise. IMO Being content with simplicity will go a long way in this lifetime which is the impression i get from you.
That was an awesome performance , i could sense some gypsy influence there when the brass came into play.

You don't need any grounds for comparison. If life sucks for you then it sucks period and that's all one needs to know. And if you're pissed because you didn't ask for this as far as you know then that's totally valid also.
You could jump off a bridge if you hated it so much like many have and you will no longer exist but the fact we are all here sharing suggests otherwise. Blaming existence is the biggest coppout that ever existed.
This is a crock of shit imo. Some of course do manage to jump off a bridge but life itself makes that difficult via instinct and death anxiety. Blaming existence is completely valid if that's how you see things. Nobody is making you see things that way so what the fuck do you care?

Why do i care? I'm not sure really probably for some selfish reason like trying to fish out responses such as yours to make me question shit further.
I consider it a cop-out because its the one thing you cant change short of offing yourself , you exist and continue to use the functions of existence. I maintain the idea that existence came before man came into existence so why should existence cop the blame for what we monkeys have done with it , going to do and are doing.

Furthermore IMO if you blame anything or anyone your setting yourself up to a certain extent , its an endless cycle you can just keep on blaming and blaming without anything ever changing. Sure its not my place to say but its no wounder things seem so bleak when one gives all the power to things outside of themselves. This i'm just talking from personal experience not directed at anyone.

All depends really
In my own perspective, been through too much shit with shit being as lush as it is now to be pessimistic about it. Things could very well continue on a negative streak with no opportunity for reconciliation, children starve to death every day and people spoil rotten. I pity the general mass of life
To some degree... but past the melancholic stages of the night, when I actually have to confront that mass of eager stupidity, the whole deal changes rapidly.

Are you seriously saying that you get to decide what to do with life? Try not getting disease, injury or aging. We only do with existence what we are encoded by nature to do with it. The rest is subjective. Each person gets to decide for themselves if it rocks or sucks and they will all be right.

It's subjective. That's all we can say. So imo it's all equally valid as a pov.

Seems that way to me, but at the same time I see a lot of people running through the motions or otherwise fixating on MOs which are arguably adverse to their state of consciousness...
Not sure exactly how to phrase that at this moment, but it seems to me that despite the limitations we're given a lot of people add their own which could be avoided (seemingly).

IMO everyone wants to be happy and healthy but their internal programs might just be preventing that and not within their conscious control. They are bound to fail, trying the same things over and over hoping for different results.

Your completely right in saying that each person gets to decide for themselves , i cannot contend that.
But yes IMO you do get to decide what you do with your life within a context. I cant try to not age because my body was designed to do as such but i can style it to my own preferences whilst its still in the early stages of that process, before disease or severe injury strike (if they do). We have no examples of immortality , anything organic will die as far as we know but the effect that has on each individual is a variable.

Its only speculation past my own state of mind and largely within my own mind, it seems like there are opportunities for many of those I know to solve their problems with relative ease. Yet at the same time I know from personal experience that what you say about mental anagrams bears a lot of weights
At the end of the day, I shed no tears for man

Are you seriously saying that you get to decide what to do with life? Try not getting disease, injury or aging. We only do with existence what we are encoded by nature to do with it. The rest is subjective. Each person gets to decide for themselves if it rocks or sucks and they will all be right.
Your completely right in saying that each person gets to decide for themselves , i cannot contend that.
But yes IMO you do get to decide what you do with your life within a context. I cant try to not age because my body was designed to do as such but i can style it to my own preferences whilst its still in the early stages of that process, before disease or severe injury strike (if they do). We have no examples of immortality , anything organic will die as far as we know but the effect that has on each individual is a variable.
Dna can override any choices you might be able to make for yourself so it's kind of a wash in many cases. My point however was in your first paragraph. Leave others to subjectively decide what life means for themselves. They will be no more or less correct than you are.

Don't worry , i don't consider myself correct by any means. I was kinda just venting much like the nature of this thread. I could be singing the same tune as OP a Month from now as i have sung it before.

It Is and always will be.
The "It" of the moment is what really decides where your at as far as I know. I find the harder I think about "It" the harder it is to exist in tranquility. I think if we all lived like dogs or pigeons or the like, acting only on impulse our quality of life would be exponentially better.
But as a human being I can't exactly pass judgement.

I agree. You have every right to be a fucking Pollyanna.

I often wonder myself if it's that much better being anything other than human. I suspect it's a lot easier.

I don't know about that... that's the first time i have heard the term and looking into it suggests an overly optimistic person. I'm not blind to the reality of nature rather than choosing to make the best out of a bad situation.

I was just kidding. I have a good friend who always refers to herself in that fashion.

"fuck the real world"
yep.
people will argue that this world can be great. idiots. no, people can be great. amongst a world of shit, people CAN BE (sometimes) great. the world however, is shit. death is a vehicle, and we're all in it driving 100 mph towards a brick wall. everyone is grabbing what they can before we hit.

I think you should improve your taste in music before it becomes great, there's potential though.

improve my taste in music? are there trolls following me? dude, i like all types of music, not just the one type of music that you listen to. Lounge Electro-Jazz stuff is fine and dandy, but because you heard some music that flew over your head, that i posted once; you think i need to "improve my music tastes"?
LOL. dude. YOU need to do that. i LIKE Electro-Lounge, only it's not the the only thing i like, i also like more complex music that flies over your head, and confuses you. LOL
