Life is a cake walk. Just find stuff that makes you happy and do it. It's all about enjoyment.

This is one of those threads where the OP has made up his mind, yet the rest of the forum still thinks they can change him.

Thanks. Just what I needed. I agree it's pretty dumb to search for random people on the internet to pat me on the back.

Sounds like you have no goals/purpose. Jerkin off might be a bigger obstacle for you than you think.

If you live only in the moment (ie no goals), your life lasts but for a moment. But when you live with your future in mind, having an end goal lasts your whole life.

[Getting philosophical here, I think lol]

Your attitude is the canvas on which you paint your life's picture. It's hard to paint a pretty picture on a ****ty canvas.

Another analogy I like is that we are the producers/directors of our own movie. We set the tone, write the scripts and choose the actors. It's up to us to have a proper timeline, budget and work ethic to get the best quality picture we can make.

Without these in place, especially the time line and work ethic, we're sure to fall short of our movie's true potential.

The above is all just a bunch of self help BS, but the core message is not.. you control what comes in and what goes out.

If you're mad or angry or just meh, **** it, you probably are fustrated by your expectations not being met. If that is the case, you probably need change your expectations. Learn to use negative emotions in a positive way [constructively vs destructively].

/seminar

nobody's degenerate anymore, everybody's solid

Sitting here right now I cannot even think of a goal/purpose.

If you live for the future then you will never reach what you live for. The future is always out of grasp. The only thing that is real is the moment.

[I'm not opposed to getting philosophical]

You must simply paint a picture on whatever canvas you have.

This implies that your life goal is to make some sort of a reasonable 'movie'.

Why is this potential worth reaching? Who wants to reach it? Why must we be aware of our mind's attempt to reach this potential? Why not just let it happen?

Why dismiss your attempt at giving a lesson as BS?

Let's go further. Why do we have expectations? Just precisely who is it that has these expectations? Of course your body itself has certain 'implied' expectations (such as the expectation to breathe in oxygen), but we need not live being aware of these expectations. There is no reason to live being aware of your own expectations. All we must do is simply live.

lol awesome

Life is BS, so OP figured out the secret... ...GG all.

you seem to only be attracted to things that satisfy you. eating is a selfish activity and that seems to appeal to you while praying and loving are selfless activities which you seem to disdain. maybe if you were less selfish and tried to love more then you would find more meaning in life?

Your canvas is as clean and as big as you want it to be.. or it can be small, with no room to draw on.. it's up to you. I can't stress this enough.

Think about what I said about the future this way..

Two ppl want to become doctors. One says to himself, I will study hard, complete my x years of school, go work in the field, and in x years, I will open my own practice (having that freedom to work for myself and being able to help ppl).

Now the other person says to himself, damn, I gotta go to class AGAIN! I know I need to go, but screw it, I need to have fun, too. I'll force myself to go tomorrow.

So who's the most likely to succeed? The guy with the plan, focus and determination.. or the guy with no plan, taking it one day at a time?

I hope that made sense :-\

Define succeed.

The first may succeed, but by constantly living for the future he may risk never reaching that which he lives for (the future will always be out of grasp). His whole reality is based on "in x years I get this". In doing so perhaps he misses reality completely, but to say this is to assume. One can be present of the moment and still have a plan I suppose. Your brain is designed to be able to plan. The only problem is when plans become your reality.

The second fails by thinking he needs to have fun. In essence he makes a chore/task out of having fun. He constantly insists on reminding himself that certain things are not fun and certain things are, instead of merely just existing in the moment. His life will become that of a pleasure seeker who is so convinced that he must always find pleasure to offset his suffering. He will never find enough pleasure because suffering is inevitable. He will have a bad life imo.

Ok I have to ask you this now, wtf is your avatar?

Good luck with your canvas bro. Paint it however you'd like. If you think planning out your future can only **** it up, then I don't know what to say.

You'll see, that in the end, it was just you and your choices that created your life. [In the end] You might just say, "Wow, I ****ed that up pretty good" (or not).

GL either way.

Whats interesting about this thread is not the OP/title/idea but the replies of other people - what most of us think life is all about.

Most responses are related to material activities, referred to with words such as 'joy' or 'enjoyment' or even 'love'. All of those have been grossly downgraded to food-chain type of activities meant to bring physical pleasure, nothing more.

I can't help but wonder if that is really what life, living is all about?

So did you stop reading at the bolded?

I was trying to say that life isn't about planning for the future. A plan is a plan, but should not become your reality. If you only live for the future then you will never reach what you live for.

And again, why does it matter what happens in the end? So my whole life's meaning is to realize I either did it all right or wrong in the end? The end is simply another moment of your life. I don't live every day trying to build up to a magnificent end.

It doesn't matter, so have a good time while you're around.

Right and wrong are human constructions.

No one has the answer. Why do you think religions came to exist and they still do? Because life IS actually bull****...there is no real meaning to it, you just have to find something that YOU think is worth living for. Personally, I think that the greatest achievement one can reach is to have their name forever imprinted in history by doing something great that will change and improve the life of all other humans, all those people that are trapped here just like you are, waiting for their bodies to become dust and their minds to be forever gone.

you are a jamb,

close this tragedy of a threat of a thread.

sometimes i pee on the balcony, just for the fun of it.

you high or something?

if your not its bad,mkay?
its weekend.

dude

just find a beer you like and drink a ****load of it. then all is cool or u die

I like to throw feces at my canvas, to see if it will stick.

That's deep.

Do you mean to suggest that you are so tough that even if the worst stuff imaginable were thrown at your 'canvas' it would not stick, and you would continue on unaffected? I envy that.
