To whom do I need to speak about getting off this 2020 ride and a possible refund?
On that note; hope you have a wonderful week ahead! Lol!
@Vishsai - yes, and it's all based on limbic resonance.
We can't tolerate the truth, because we know everything is futile. We create attachments and we develop finite things (technology, food, etc) because we are weak, because we found ourselves here against our wish and we are scared, we want to fool ourselves that everything is fine and normal, but if we only think purely, it is clear that life is senseless and time, space, infinity transcend our power.
We have nothing to do here apart from nonsensical finite activities. We buy food in order to maintain an organism which will be annihilated by time anyways.
We buy all this expensive stuff in order to fulfill an ego based on social norms deeply impregnated in our subconsciousness, which cannot stand the real boredom of life, which cannot stand the truth, the pointlessness of life.
Consciousness is indeed impossible to explain, but realizing this helps with absolutely nothing.
@Vishsai - True. There is no point. All we know and do is based on chemical and physical mechanisms in the body.
Why do we obsess over happiness so much? I mean it's a state of mind - comes and goes - why does it have to be permanent?
Someone somewhere has gone through something much worse and made it through, why cant I?
