Life is fucked up. Heres what I find most useful. * 4
    #19093700 - 11/06/13 01:50 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)



Life is scary and fucked up and traumatizing. Death, age and suffering are inevitable. Anything we cling to can and will be torn away. Your wife, your children... they will all die. You will die. We all suffer. We are forced to accept realities far worse than what we can imagine. The global ecosphere is collapsing. The sun could explode at any time. Even a hiccup of the sun could destroy our human society.

Disease, pandemic, supervolcano eruption, asteroid or meteor strike, nuclear war, nuclear reactor melt down (melt-through), addiction, disease, violence, home invasion... the list of possible fears and pains is endless.

But here we are. How can we cope? What should we do? what is the meaning of life? How can we best live and spend our time on this world?

1. Scholarship: Read, study, research, go to school, get a university degree, read books, listen to educational podcasts, watch documentaries, write research papers.

2. Exercise: Yoga, martial arts, weight lifting, exercise of any and all kinds

3. Nature: Canoeing, hiking, camping, swimming in lakes, outdoor mountain biking, communing with and revering nature (visiting jungles, the amazon, the rainforests, old growth forests, temperate rainforests, coral reefs etc).

4. Diet: Super healthy diet, whatever that means to you. Vegan? High protein? Locavore? Freegan? No carb/gluten free? I wont try to tell you what the best diet is, but having a good diet makes all the difference.

I believe in a diet based on high protein of a qood quality (bison, elk, turkey, freshwater fish) combined with abundant fruits and vegetables.

5. Supplements: N acetyl Cysteine, s adenosyl methionine, melatonin, creatine, protetin powder, Norwegian kelp, spirulina, chlorella, b vitamin complex, liposomal vitamin c, flax/omega 3 oils, turmeric, raw garlic, apple cider vinegar, melatonin

6. Spirituality: Meditation, yoga, prayer, scripture study, devotion, ritual, religion.

7. Non-ordinary states of consciousness. Psychedelic drugs. Disassociates. Meditation. Chanting. Magick. Out of body experiences. Lucid dreaming. Astral projection.

8. Love: Friendship. Family. Girlfriend/boyfriend, wife/husband, Love connections, sharing life, partnership, alliance, community, association, human interaction, human connection, sex, romance, making love.

9. Drugs: Etizolam, Kratom, Ketamine, MXE, DMT, LSD, Psilocybin, Mescaline, Marijuana, beer, red wine, salvia, ibogaine, ayahausca.

10. Work: Find a job you enjoy and that pays your way.

11. Travel, see the world.

12, Gratitude. Give thanks for all your blessings every day.

13. Hot showers. Hot motherfucking showers.

14. Creative outlet. Writing, drawing, dancing, singing, music, painting, sculpting, etc.

15. Survivalism/prepping. Stockpile food, water, weapons, medicine, ammunition, tools, seeds etc.


Basically these 15 things are the best answers I have found to the question of "how can we face and perhaps overcome the deep existential problems of life" and "what are the best things to do with this short but wonderful life we have?"

What do you guys think of my strategy/list?

What is yours?

oh and our sun will not explode into a super/hyper nova it will expand into a red giant and slowly release its gas until a wight dwarf remains and cools into a brown dwarf

"Our soul is the most holy gift we have and our bodies we should appreciate

We should be grateful everyday, for all the small things in life that bring happiness
and for ourselves and for others"

pretty interesting LSD thought I had while tripping once
soul=love for self and others

you dont even have to believe in soul for it to make sense,
if you believe in love, soul can be exchanged for love in the above :-)

the best way of being happy is making/seeing others happy , spread the love


walking/sitting in nature/houseplants/pets help happiness too
I am happy when my pets are happy, and theyre easy to make happy, theyre happy everyday

houseplants, one new miracle of nature everyday when I wake up

You worry too much Moonshoe. Death, age, suffering, Fukushima, the ice cap..

Just live your life and stop tormenting yourself over this, there's nothing you can do about it.

Why would I want to make/see others happy? I hate others.

If you are happy you want to spread the love to people around you

If you feel miserable you automatically spread the negativity to everyone around you

Think positively

you become what you think....

glass is half full not half empty

I prefer not to think so much/not worry about anything

Loved this. You should dedicate an entire page to each of the points you made here, expand upon and really explore each topic. You're a talented writer and should utilize this to spread your wisdom! Blog it up, yo :wink: in fact...if you don't, would you mind if I supplemented some of your findings into my own writings? Making a list as you did is very helpful. It's precise. Makes the world seem a just a tad clearer.

Of course please elaborate your thoughts!

As for the sun exploding it's true that it won't (as far as we know) turn into its next stage for millions of years but a huge solar flare or cme could happen at any time and destroy society.

And to the poster who said "there is nothing you can do" I disagree. The OP is my list of everything you can do.
