Philosophical Rant on Life / Spending time on Getbig
« on: March 22, 2009, 06:06:22 AM »
How does it feel to know that no matter what you do in your life, one day you will die. You will be worm shit and you will have no consciousness, you will be in an eternal dreamless sleep.

That is the worst part about being an athiest... on one hand you are free to think for yourself and live your life to the fullest without worrying about what some book written thousunds of years ago tells you to do. But on the other hand you have to accept the horrible reality that once your dead you lose everything, i would go as far as to say that i would rather be burning in hell than have no consciousness. Any existance is better than none even if its full of suffering, this is why nobody should ever commit suicide, you have to hold onto your consciousness for aslong as possible.

I know some people say that we all spend too much time on getbig posting messages etc. but at the end of the day, whats the alternative? go outside and do what? interract with others? thats exactly what we are doing here, yes it may not be face to face interaction but that makes it more pure because we are not constantly judging eachother based on our appearance. We should  try and limit our time on here though as there are other more constructive things we can do to build ourselves as individuals, such as pursuing hobbies like drawing, or playing a musical instrument, these skills we can learn will stay with us for our whole lives and will build you as an individual, talking to others on getbig is not as constructive as these things, but it does serve some purpose, mainly as a source of entairtainment.

Basically i think alot of us should cut down the amount of time we spend on getbig, because we only live once and this is not doing much for us in the long term.

Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am
not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?

I don't think we can add anything to what we really are. Thus, posting on Getbig is as productive as any other activity.

Posting in forums, especially in a raw, in-your-face community like Getbig is a lot better than socializing with people IRL. Sure, you got to do that too, but the average person you meet takes a long time to get comfortable and open up to you, which is when things get interesting. Plus, when they do, it's just them and you and maybe a couple of people more. Being face to face also brings into the equation things like social anxiety, behavioral awkwardness etc.

But post here and you are posting your thoughts and opinions as well as getting a chance to read what others think. Most of the people in this site are very sharp and such is the nature of a forum thread / conversation that it has no expiry date - you can reply to a thread that was made 10 years ago, just like you can do things like use images and clips to enhance whatever it is that you wish to convey.

The bad side is that it can be very addicting and start becoming a substitute for real life socializing, which is needed too.

Here is a great song about a man coming to terms with life and death.  It starts out he is having a conversation with another and is not yet convinced that you are born, live and die and that is the end.

He fights this notion but by the end of the song, he comes around to the same opinion that his friend had given him.  "Goodbye Horses", meaning he is able to conceive leaving his 5 senses behind.  In an Eastern philosophy "horses" are symbolic/representative of the 5 senses - the things that keep us tied to the physical/material plane of existence. When you can transcend the limitations of these senses and achieve a higher level of consciousness, you are leaving the "horses" behind - "flying over them."

You need a balance,

but if you're happy, why change?
