Philosophical depression

>>17592944
lol you read too much Freud. of course, religion is just a form of fleeing from pain, humans are just parasites driven by their pusrsuit of love or similiar luck, culture is a constitution that doesn't support individual freedom... what now? you wanna kill yourself? Face it, you are just an animal that has desires. But as an intelligent being you have the privilege to create morals and meaning to something, you don't even have to become a crazy fanatic. Most people find their luck in relationships or work they like to do. Why don't you try it?

>>17592944
yeah it's pretty Absurd isn't it

(read the myth of sisyphus dork)

>>17592944

You're being dramatic. It's about the journey towards the goal rather than actually achieving it anyway, kind of like a carrot on a stick. Nobody ever reaches perfection, but it's something to shoot for, and it's something that'll keep your mind occupied.

You can either drown in this or learn to distract yourself from it. Because frankly, you're probably right, there is no afterlife or intrinsic meaning to life. It's depressing, but in the interest of not being miserable while you're stuck here, go ahead and focus on attaining something. We're biological creatures, and our species especially is goal-oriented. Our brains get a lot of groovy chemicals when we set a goal and achieve it. So, do that in baby steps, on your road to your idealized self.

It's better than thinking about it, because you'll never know, and nothing I've read has ever made me feel much better.

>I was existentialist, I felt the world had no meaning, no loving creator, no reason

you sound like a pseud desu senpai

read camus and go see a therapist, often this kind of depression is a way of covering up other issues/absurdities you feel exist in your life

you could always read up on that continental philosophy

good luck senpai

Holy shit thats gay lmao

OP i've got some good news for you and everybody in the thread here. If you've seen this story before don't be surprised, i've posted it before.

It was the day my little dog died. She had a big comfy chair she used to sit in for hours all the time in the house. After I was done burying her I went back inside and looked over at the chair.
For a good 6 seconds I couldn't believe my eyes. She was there, sitting in the chair, in her spirit form. There was this snow pure white light that she was made of and you could see every detail of her fur on her and everything. It was amazing. Then she faded away.

This happened in the middle of the day. I have no psychiatric conditions that cause hallucinations. I don't do drugs of any kind. No explanation for this whatsoever.

Now am I applying my own religious ideas to try and describe what this was? Did I discover something completely unrelated to the afterlife? Maybe. But I don't know. It definitely was my dog made of light sitting in the chair. If that doesn't scream spirit or afterlife I don't know what does.

>>17593282
aww, don't give us hope. how cruel.

I think Wittgenstein or some faggot like him said, 'A person with a meaningful life will never ask the question 'Do I have a meaningful life?'

>>17593282
But that is absurd? That there is a whole "behind the curtain" backstage to life meant simply to retain in some holographic sense the physical properties of your dog so that you in your own holographic projection can enjoy each other as you did on stage for eternity in some afterlife? A bit to homo-centric for me to believe.

Everything is nothing. Friend showed me this
Nihilism is the only answer

>>17593358

this looks like some weak-ass mathematics

0/analytic philosophy

>>17593366
Didn't say my friend was smart.

If you think that nothing you do is meaningful then you are utterly and completely stupid.

>>17593350
Yeah, like what's the point of living to die and live again as a spirit? It still doesn't answer anything.

>>17593389
You're an idiot

>>17593389
We might have a direct impact on the lives of others or even the earth, but if there is no intrinsic meaning to the universe, then there's nothing meaningful we can do :o)

>>17592944
You're right OP life has no meaning so the only thing to do is to create your own meaning, if you spend all your time moping about then theres only two things you can do.
#1 - Kill yourself, if you are depressed and feel no meaning in life then just end it.
#2 - Try and be happy with your friends/family/whoever, happiness is literally the only reason to keep living and once the fun ends whats the points in living

There is only meaning if you invent it, this troubled me for a while, it is a big deal, and I know you've already considered this because it's obvious... don't think about it, you have nothing to gain but sadness, happy is good right? That's pretty simple, enjoy ignorance and find a way to be happy

>>17593457
this guy is right, just do whatever you want and disregard the opinions of others, they dont matter as long as you remain happy

I always thought "sink" was the only verb that should be associated with depression.
