"Evil_Monkey: Then why am I so sad, Burner?"You're sad because you discovered that something you've belived your entire life is not true... the longer it takes to realize, the bigger is the pain... like, you find out there's no Santa Claus soon, and your parents will keep giving you gifts, but when a girl gets laid her first time and it's different from the movies it can make them depressed for a LONG time... but they usually get over it. Get over it as well, man, accept there is no love and find other things to pass the time... I can suggest music, sports, sex, drugs, study, computer games, chocolate, dogs, pizzas, palmtops, trees, carnivals and so on... life isn't important, but it CAN be very fun! Just don't do stuff you will regret later, cuz memory is the only reason we do anything. If we couldn't remember something, what'd be the point on doing it?

When you use your computer, do you think only the positive and ground electical potentials in the system are REAL, and that game of Half Life you're playing isn't? Come on. Reality exists a bunch of different levels, not just one.Feelings may be formed from neurological pathways etc. etc. etc. but it's an extraordinarily complex and wondrous reaction. Feelings are much easier to deal with on the level of FEELINGS, not neurology. quote: Those who don't believe it are too coward to accept the stupidity of our existence.
Or, possibly, we are more intelligent than you? Nah. Couldn't be that. Evil_Monkey, I know how you feel, man... that's a bummer. Just remember that the "love" you're thinking about is an ideal. It's something you'll never actually have, just like you could never draw a "perfect" circle. The real circle is always gonna be a little lopsided, and real love is always complicated and strange. But it's still cool, and there's no point in crying over spilled milk, as they say... Best of luck, bro.

I really don't get it... I didn't say we weren't "real", but that our existence is useless. I believe the Half-Life game IS real, and maybe that's why I like games so much. I only see life as a more complex game than others, and the worst: without a goal. So, we wander around trying to make up our own goals... it IS very stupid if you analize. I don't believe people who deceive themselves are smart, but if you want to believe in that ( and if that keeps you safe and warm in your blanket of love ) I reaaally don't care. Cya

I think you're about to fall over cause your head has swelled up so much. Shit man, we're not talking about the meaning of life. Go into the rants forum.

I used to think like you did. But then I realized that life is simply what we make of it. If you chose to take life at a chemical level, fine. It will enhance your quality of life to do what I did - use that theory everywhere, except sex & romance. It really does help.Kept me from losing sanity... quote: Originally posted by Burner: There is no such thing and that's it. We feel sexual attractiveness and necessity to settle down, because we are lazy. That's what cause marriages, for example. And yes: our feelings ARE PURELY SUBSTANCES AND ELECTRICITY GOING THROUGH OUR BRAIN. Those who don't believe it are too coward to accept the stupidity of our existence. There is no purpose nor meaning in life, so stop making up stuff like "love" because someday it falls down and you will get depressed. Wether you run away with religion, "love", become a drug-addict, or sex-addict; or you ACCEPT our destiny and ACCEPT that our lifes are not worthy. It's not easy, but it takes away all fears. Keep on moving. At least you can move the air in your path.

Use this enlightenment as a tool. Know it. But when convenient, apply it. Don't let "life is meaningless" spoil you, let it blow away your fears and depressions. quote: Originally posted by Burner: "Evil_Monkey: Then why am I so sad, Burner?"You're sad because you discovered that something you've belived your entire life is not true... the longer it takes to realize, the bigger is the pain... like, you find out there's no Santa Claus soon, and your parents will keep giving you gifts, but when a girl gets laid her first time and it's different from the movies it can make them depressed for a LONG time... but they usually get over it.

Here you are wrong. Since day one, the purpose of life is to reproduce. That is our goal.Do I detect a sense of cockiness within your demeanor? Careful with those thoughts... they almost drove me insane. Then I realized that I really don't give a shit how life works on the inside, unless I'm depressed, when I try to just say "it's a chemical; control it". Lose the ego my friend. quote: Originally posted by Burner: I really don't get it... I didn't say we weren't "real", but that our existence is useless.
