O
It's a story I'm working on
nice nice
I don't remember ever having an existential crisis
like in my life
damn
lucky bastard
Mood.
I'm not lucky
I've just always had a materialist and pessmistic view of life
There's no meaning and I don't care that there isn't
Wowie
Depressing
alight cool
That's nihilism though isn't it?
When life has no meaning or purpose.
I suppose
It's really not depressing to me
a lot of philosophies have overlapping areas where some people find themselves in a grey area i find
nah I see the comfort in thinking that way
there are variations in the definition for nihilism. Seems the most popular says there's no objective meaning to life or value
fair
lol
But that can also be extended to say all religious principles should be rejected, as well as all _moral_ principles because there's no objective standard to set them against
but doesnt mean someone cant create their own moral principals
just cause youre nihilistic doesnt mean morals are out the window and youre a dick, cause you can most likely still feel empathy/sympathy/compassion
lol
Hey guys can you make a decision for me?
I can feel those but I may have a reduced capacity to feel them. That's a different issue though
Yes
I love making decisions for people other than myself
maybe..?
So I don't know what I should commit my time tomorrow to. Should I write, work on some programming, or take some of my rabbits out to the trail near my house?
What do you write
I write books. Sometimes. I usually switch between stories spastically so it takes me some time to finish them.
numbing them out is one thing, but having them to the extent to just be able to realize that certains actions you do hurt people and not wanting to hurt people makes you develop your own set of morals, is whay I mena
Nerd agree, it just seems that nihilism doesn't want these things to be objectively assigned. I also find it comforting the idea that life doesn't have any concrete given purpose, and that makes the world a sandbox and I can choose what I want to do
Oh ok. I've thought of an idea for a sort of story but I'm not much of a writer
oh the book writing would be nice, and if you cant decide then take the rabbits out as a break at some point
What I believe is that morals should be in accordance with reason. They aren't objective, they're social tools
