life pretty much seems like a waste of time...

when you die at the end, and if you left anything behind for anyone else alive it still doesn't matter because they'll soon be dead too...

Yes, thats pretty much it. Your only key to the future is either to have kids or just forget about it, kick up some dust and raise hell on your way out.

As soon as you are born you begin your journey to death, wtf.

Mybe we're supposed to just party and raise hell as much as we can because we're gonna fuckin die anyway, so what does anything matter.

i guess the point in this post is: Nothing matters


though i'm looking at the world from the perspective of being drunk at the moment.

i think we need to shift our thinking away from this 'race to the finish line' deal. life isn't just about waiting for something to happen. you only get to be in this body once. this is it. someday it will be over and who knows what happens after death? the very self is an illusion.

'if this ain't beautiful, man... there's nothing'

'it's all the ecstatic moment, if you know how to dig it

if not it's a travesty, that's all. profane'

(from Be Here Now)

Hey buddies this is some really sharp stuff, i'm going to apply it everyday!

I might as well not bother with eating anymore either, the fuckin plate will be empty right!?
ok well there goes communication and food, hmm what else can I strip from the most beautiful gift in the world...
How about love, it ends, cut it
Having fun, shit, noneternal scam!

Birds and flowers are useless.
Love is unappealing.
The night air is cold and unrelenting.
Sorrow is never far from your feelings.
hey this feeling terrible thing is great!

well im off to cut my wrists, just a little bit, so i can feel really bad about myself before i lose sense of any comprehensible existence or dream

Calling it a waste is subjective based on your desire that life should somehow be different then how it is. I think it's only hard to handle because you haven't been taught this IMO fundamental truth and instead were filled up with programs and stories of God, reincarnation, etc. all based on fear of death. You don't however have to fear it or find life as a waste just because you won't live forever.

Throughout all of humanity's scientific endeavors they will never grasp human feeling and emotion. There must be an overhaul of the system to get anywhere. The human complex is not a systematic processing of information guidelines into rigid numbers and symbols. It is dramatic and flowing, like the finest mountains over many years, like the water that we drink. We are so wiggly, we are so free.

We simply are, there is nothing more to it. Realization of subjective thoughts, which are EVERY thought and the death of the ego are two of the greatest achievements IMO that a human can make.

Realize the illusions we enshroud ourselves in then everything becomes ridiculously simplified and clear.

If you "are", why feel bad about it? Waiting for something great to happen to you is the most horrible way to spend ones life. More often than not from such a perspective, even if good things do happen to you you won't be able to recognize them.

I blame our societal control and conditioning and distance from nature.

Well said.

Life is not inherently bad or sad or a waste. Things happen in it that bring us down, but that is usually a result of our wanting to control things that we cannot change. This is a big concept in either Buddhism or Hinduism (or maybe both, I always get them backwards), the idea of letting go of a desire to control the world around you. I am not a Buddhist or a Hindi, but philosophically I think that makes a lot of sense.

shuffle your deck
go for a new deal
this line of linear reasoning
this oversimplification of indescribable complexity into a fixed life line package seems like a rut.
you're in a reasoning rut. a materialistcal reasoning rut.
a syllogistic collapse of reason by reason against life.
like feed back being amped on stage.
it's like a snarky bit of snotty cynicism that has got too big for itself.
so big that it could, and it just might, booger the whole nose off your face because logic seems to cancel out logic as if life were supposed to follow logic.
sorry
logic should follow life.
if it doesn't
you have to retool the logic.

I like to think that everything matters. What doesn't matter are the empty distractions and things that are seperate from growth of the spirit, mind, and body. Hence my love for bodybuilding.

Life, to me, matters because it seems as though there is a self-fulfilling dream/goal happening. I figure that most of the people on this planet are distracted from this truth and its implications so they figure that life is merely a nada.

This whole thing with evolving of the consciousness and everything else that is life. It's gotta mean something.. we don't know what yet, but we know there is SOMETHING. And its something vs. nothing. Which one is more logical?

I like to that what all of this is.. is the good ol' G-O-D scrambling to look at him/her/itself in the mirror.
