| Anonymous Coward User ID: 26851286 11/10/2012 08:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Welcome to the club bro. You're halfway towards getting the whole point :) 1. The universe is impossible and yet, clearly, possible 2. The universe is nonsensical - everyone waddles through life clinging to some way of understanding everything, and no way is the right way, nor is any one way complete. 3. Life is absurd, chaotic, hilarious and tragic all at once. 4. The only order is the order we impose. 5. You're free to make sense of anything and everything however you choose. 6. There are an infinite number of ways to die in any one second - and yet we don't die. (BIG CLUE) |

About a week ago, its sounds crazy but true, I just started thinking about how absurd everything is, how silly people are, as you say-clinging, clinging to their little lives and their little problems. I literally laughed for 5 minutes until my side hurt. First time in my life. Now, don't get me wrong, this is not a "hate" thing, I don't hate humanity or people, I just find it all to be absurd to the point where I can't take any of it seriously anymore. Not even things like "responsiblities". |

Read this book by him, i think you will relate: [link to www.davemckay.co.uk] start at "main text 1" and work on from there. |
| freeasabee1 User ID: 8697456 Canada11/10/2012 08:51 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | welcome to the club, I've felt that way for a while now, its a great feeling to not give a shit. Also check out E. M. Cioran, he was a great nihilist, a short history of decay is a good read. Last Edited by freeasabee1 on 11/10/2012 08:55 PM |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 26851286 11/10/2012 10:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I assure you, nihilism is pointless; Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1427499 by it's very princeps, there can be no inherent point, if you adhere to nihilism - doing so is basically denying your own existence, a sort of psychological suicide. Best advice? go discover yourself! nihilism is pointless, and so is everything else. Thus, nihilism. |

Is there a word for not giving a shit anymore? I even find my friends and family absurd. Facebook is even worse, here is a sample of some of the things people put up: -I got a new door today and painted it -I am getting a tattoo on my ankle on Tuesday -My kid is getting their braces off -I went to a shower today and ate haggis -I can't believe Alabama lost today |
