Does anyone else find it absurd how that no matter what path you take in life, how you throw your dice today, tomorrow, a week from now, 3 months from now, a year from now, a decade from now, etc., the only GUARANTEE is suffering?

Like, no matter which way you move, act, behave, think, articulate yourself - you're going to suffer for sure. Happiness? Those good feels? Yeah, you might get them in small, transient doses when you eat, sleep, shit, have an orgasm, etc., but the predominating feeling is most definitely suffering and there is PLENTY of it to go around.

Think of how many ways there are to feel good. Now think of how many ways there are to feel bad. Have you ever seen an insect struggle for its life when you run water on it from a spigot or when it's circling the drain? Have you thought about what it feels like when your wings/legs/vital body part no longer work, you can no longer provide for yourself or your offspring, and you are forced with the reality of dying from starvation/thirst while you are completely immobilized but also lucidly conscious? This shit literally happens all the fucking time.

When people say "life is a gift" I just cannot contain my shit. Life isn't a gift. Life is just something that is much like rocks and dust are. It's just in a different configuration/pattern than rocks and dust but we attach all sorts of meaning to it because homo sapien brain. Life isn't even supposed to be good. You are just avoiding suffering and chasing orgasms/good feels. Nothing more than a cloud undergoing its various transformations because you don't want to starve, you don't want to get hurt, and you want to stick your penis in a pussy and fucking cum cum cum.

Everyone is getting all worked up over nothing.

Most humans live lives they self-report as overall more happy than sad. This is a matter of opinion, and it depends on how good at avoiding suffering and chasing orgasms and good feels you are.

That said, you are also neglecting our built-in circuits to ascribe divine order and meaning. Humans evolved to have religious experiences in order to escape this horrible nihilism you describe.
>>
>>39615085
Anon are you me. I've thought about all of this exactly as you described.

I'm probably going to an hero, there's no point to any of this absurd struggle for naught..

Give Buddhism an honest shot. Buddhist teaching is predicated on the idea that all of life is suffering and a lot of the spiritual practices involve accepting this and moving past it.

In the first place, a man never is happy, but spends his whole life in striving after something which he thinks will make him so; he seldom attains his goal, and when he does, it is only to be disappointed; he is mostly shipwrecked in the end, and comes into harbor with masts and rigging gone. And then, it is all one whether he has been happy or miserable; for his life was never anything more than a present moment always vanishing; and now it is over.

After being here a while I think robots (including me) are always looking for excuses and are essentially lazy and just take the easiest option.

I know this because my robothood hit me later in life, I look back to when I was happier, and it was simply a case of reeping what I sewn.

I guarantee the vast majority of robots are not fulfilling their potential, because it's "too hard"

That's the problem.

If you had to struggle in the first place then it means you're weak, struggle is for the weak and inferior.

Chad doesn't struggle.

>>39615524
the strong are strong because they struggle harder when they don't have to in order to survive, you dumbass. go lift weights you'll see what I mean.
you have never struggled. you only suffer. that's the difference
>>
>>39615573
I do lift weights, what I said was true. Working twice as hard for a fraction of what chad gets is just laughable.

Your work is in vain.

Testosterone is super redpilled.

High test makes better gains and has all kinds of health benefits, if you were bullied then your cortisol levels are up and test drops.

This life is brutal.

Life is essentially standing on a sea of burning coal and constantly trying to reach the few spots where there's currently no coal. Meh i think schopenhauer said it better.
>>
Suffering is what makes you strong. You have to suffer to grow, if you cant handle it oh well what you gonna do? Kill yourself? You might think that will end the suffering but that will only cause those around to suffer. Nothing is worse than non existence. Cling to life as long as you can and die content that you werent weak enough to give up.

I don't know, non existence sounds extremely comfy.
>>
>>39615361
There is no such thing as potential, you are what you are and that's that. Unless you believe you are above cause and effect which naturally means you're also insane and/or incredibly ignorant.

It is entirely possible to be optimistic without going full retard...

It's not nothing, it's the only game in town.

Better to suffer in style at least, beats being bored all the time.

Yeah, I am sure every dead person and every hypothetical soul that was never born is really pissed off right now... Oh wait.

I've "grown" enough. Life has become intolerable. There are only dire options left for me

and how, may I ask?

want to pursue buddhist philosophy/ way of life but feel I am too hateful to ever become compassionate towards everyone or whatever is the core philosophy. The whole letting go of wants and material stuff appeals however.
