@ziyauren i was looking for the word, yeah it's all about validation

until you self-actualise we all thrive off external validation of sorts

however to self-actualise you need to take a look inside and be alone in your head

it's common to look down on people who don't follow social convention, so this is why it's rare and hard to self-actualise

jus look in the mirror every morn n ask what u ddon't like... they r too busy puttin on makeup to ask that😄

i am currently trying to provoke a self-actualisation by listening to the same song on repeat and spending my days adding to my flowchart of how i think my life adds up. i've started from the absolute first principle that i have to assume is true in order to build and layer ideas - and the first principle i've settled is that 'we prefer to experience positive emotions over negative emotions' .

if you guys have a better idea of a first principle please let me know, i know that my one has flaws and i'm struggling to pin point something with as little flaws as possible

seems pretty solid

positivity is the foundation.

its like debt... look n the mirror... work on the thing u like least first

i thought about the puripose of life being to 'evolve our consciousness' but then why do we want to do this? there has to something fundamental that drives everything

and easiest to change

'as a human our 'mission' is to push the human species forward' ... but why do i care about the spcecies?

am i just trying to validate my own purpose by saying it impacts the race

Acceptance is the beginning. Then replacing negativity and toxicity with positivity for a clear mind. Then one can begin to work.

@JDB cuz w/out it u r alone

yeah exactly - when you're born you have a fundamental truth that you live life by - positive and negative feelings

there is no better feeling than to be proud of yourself by doing your own things

@ziyauren could you explain further please, how am i alone?

* i mean how would you be alone

sometimes can be little things, sometimes it can be a big step

no other people means u r alone

oh i see, do you see being alone as a good or bad thing?

and why ?

neither... ddepends on ur needs

what if you felt more positive emotions being alone

both

u come and go through the life alone

bad thing because if you start liking it too much you reject other states

it's not a bad or a good thing

exactly, your choice stems from how you feel in either state with the condition needing to be met is 'a postive feeling'

if you die with 10 people around you or not, mean nothing u are dead

what do you see as the reason to live? if you could say something that is as conceptual as possible that would eb rly useful

the most important it's to not have any regrets and to have the feeling, that you done your best to live the life as you liked

what components make up a life you 'liked'?

i got through hard time 1 eyar ago, i almost killed myself because there were no reasons for me to live as this moment

because i lived as the society told me to live, and i was empty as fuck

yeah - most people don't realise how shallow their lives rly are

@JDB if u 'need' a reason to live u r stuck n some nasty nihilistic mud...

however ignorance is bliss - some would say that the way we think is shallow . it's all relative to your exposure throughout life

I think you go through life to discover yourself and to discover your purpose and what u really like
