Exactly.

It's scary yet liberating in a way to know that, at the end of the day, nothing really matters.

Even this thought is pointless and has probably been thought millions of times.

We are a basic species who just happen to be surrounded by other more basic species, this creates the illusion we are enlightened, when in reality we are barely out of the dirt.

My neighbor killed himself a couple weeks ago. There's 6 apartments in the building I'm living in. Just talked to a woman in her 60's today about different things among giving a condolence letter and flowers to his family. She doesn't have a TV and have just regained her brain after having struggled with Borreliosis for several years. She entered suicidal depression as a part of the disease (is out of it now), this guy killed himself and I'm somewhat struggling back'n'forth with my own shit.

I realized there's several types of ways to understand suicidal tendencies, the human psyche and depression. Well, I always knew that, but when it hit me earlier today it was like I got a deeper understanding of the mental psyche when it comes to dealing with depression and our mentality as a whole and not just knowing there's gaps there because of logic alone. Lately I've thought a lot about it, some guy that was interviewed said (paraphrasing) ''I've never been depressed, I got 2 types of water coming out of my sink; hot and cold. I got the privilege to choose that and that's reason enough for me to stay happy.'' Motherfucking word to that guy!
I can't control my depression, I can't control or understand why I'm even depressed at this point. Fuck, I just got a girl some months ago who is the most positive and understanding spirit I've ever met, my friend started a business he pulled me into two months ago that got all the potential in the world with the connects we have, I have literally NO personal economic set backs and I'm about to smoke a J and play a game because I can CHOOSE when to work tomorrow as long as what I planned for work gets done. And I got hot and cold water in the fucking sink, I mean, what the actual fuck?

I am ungrateful by definition, I don't understanding my situation. I am sorry to have failed you Veritas, but I can tell you that I am NOT capable of thought other than outward understanding and the environment that I'm in. I am not capable of thoughts because I fail the most important aspect when it comes to defining what really matters when it comes down to it. Does this make me qualify for a certain level of being capable of thought in itself? Fuck if I know. Is it a paradox perhaps? Fuck it, everything is relative and my brother is an oxymoron.

[veritas]

So death is so final?

[Witty]

Literally nobody knows whether death is final or not.

I do not know whether there is life after death....neither do you...all anyone can say is that there is no discernible proof that an afterlife exists, and therefore no reason to believe it does.

Sorry, I know that was not directed toward me, but I threw in my opinion just cuz I'm bored and stuff.

[Ghost1]

An original thought?

Challenge passed

[fraze]

No idea's original, there's nothin new under the sun
It's never what you do, but how it's done
What you base your happiness around material, women, and large paper
That means you inferior, not major
- Nas

I while I do believe human beings are capable of thought, it is only one of many states the human mind is capable of, and there are few people who can sustain thought for indefinite periods. We are capable of thought, but we are not always thinking.

[Mr. J]

Thoughts are merely a stream that we go floating down & ideas are the branches we grasp but dont hold on to because we cant fight the current

because all the pads/buttons are made the same.. saves on production by not having to make the buttons without braille.

[veritas]

Why are blind people driving?

[Witty]

maybe they are in the back seat?

Observing natural law, one can deduce that in the ephemeral world nothing ever perishes, it only merely changes appearance. Energy can't be created or destroyed, after all. The flower decays and becomes something else. The water cycle is another prime example of a living substance that morphs to different shapes, and moves consistently into rivers, clouds, and so on, but becomes whole again.
Life is a composite of impulses, and processes that require energetic resources for neurochemical function, take our mitochondria for example. A foreign substrate that has co-inhabited our bodies, and is fueling our drives.
This mitochondria, a foreign "entity", has latched itself into the human species, therefore affecting our biology, how we process metabolically anything, and so we become environmentally shaped, just like phenotypes affect the genotype sequence. Change is the only constant, change causes change, and this change is also a result of change. As for the cosmos, this phenomenon is seen in the universe constantly expanding, but also in the death of stars and planets, which once gone affect space and time around it elementally. Its elements scatter in explosions. Only thing we have still don't ascertain, in terms of this, is the implosions. Yet, we still have an idea on its effect on a universal scale through mechanisms such as the fabric of space-time. The universal weave that keeps things ever so fluently in place, through the bending of space. The interdependency of matter, light, gravity, and time.

Although, this is a bit different than the Eternal return/ eternal recurrence, which Nietzsche does a fine job expounding on. I won't get into that. I guess I didn't state any original thought here, but it is a folly to believe there is no such thing as original thoughts. Language like a numeric code has infinite combinations, and since our thoughts are built on language, experiences and images, and whatever else in our being. It is ever so implanted in our species for us to be further aware of this thoughts, because even animals also are capable of thinking and feeling cognitively the emotions and all of that. But, the difference is that man makes a correlative breakthrough and association with these thoughts to affect the world around him. Thus, depending on how profound one's thoughts are, one can affect the world, obviously they still need to be fulfilled materially, nevertheless our thoughts are also pointers of a never ending stream of existence and non-existence, and all the myriads shades in between, in and out. The nature of the world is a big factor to life and death, I mean after all that's what science is, the understanding of nature, and its mechanisms. The earth is just one part of nature. But, that's all I have to say.

Cool thread. It's interesting to observe the interactive phase between us humans. Some utilize psychological warfare, others speak more from an experimental or hypothetical situation, others rely on humor to bond, others use their beliefs, others speak from an emotional background, or a more personal level. Their cravings and what not. What is interesting is the intermeshing of all of this and more, and how it comes to affect us ever so subtly, as well as superficially and deeply.

[El Muffin]
