no--we're not cool...fuck off....legit

Now that I thought a lil' but about that I think you dont like me you piece of shit and try to accusme of something I did not do. You bettet tell me you don't like me straight you cock slurping whiff of a whores pussy. I'd crush your head on the pavement if given a chance and you'd not be able to blink an eye or pull your cock out in hopes to scare me off. Gtfo you borderline heterosexual.

Actually, he was incredibly physically lazy. Never did a single chore in his entire life. Never threw out the trash, mowed or watered the lawn or washed a single dish. Just loved to read and eat. When he was the Deputy Direction of the State Dept of Labor and was offered a promotion, with much higher pay, to be the Director he turned it down. I remember asking him why and he just said "more work".

Now maybe RP may say it's a fair trade off of work and free time but he had seven kids to support and we weren't living in the lap of luxury. I got a job at 10 yrs old and always had one throughout my teens so I could buy more food. Powdered milk, canned ravioli and tuna which I kept hidden in my closet. I was skinny as fuck and I knew lifting weights wasn't going to do it by itself.

I agree with RP that if you are single and have no dependents then you can opt for more free time over work. But if you decide to have a big ass family then it's less about you and what you personal want.

The only point I was making was that it's so sad to see someone, anyone, just waste away. Either that or you die young which is another tragedy in itself. Mark Twain once remarked that it would better if we started out old and grew young.

I'm a Christian and believe in God but that doesn't mean I don't question things and see and admit that there are some things that obviously don't make sense. I mean, none of here our angels and it is God that is all loving, but if you could create a world for "your children" that you love so much don't you think that you could have done a better job?  

That's why I always say that a more interesting question is not whether or not God exist, something like the universe doesn't just appear out of nowhere, but a more interesting question is whether God is good.

And if it is possible for a god to appear out of nowhere, I see no reason why a Universe could also.

-improve your social life
- read more books
- cook your own healthy food
- start running or biking
- learn something creative like photoshopping or drawing
- start meditating

good advices

[Marty Champions]

1. Ending your dependence on drugs and booze is a no brainer , must do deal. Good for you

2. Basic human nature hasn't changed in a long time, but the technology has.
Social Media reflects the fact that humans tend to be lazy and most social interaction is without depth or meaning.

3. People's real nature is closer to getbig then Facebook. Sounds crazy, but it's true.

4. A few years ago someone coined the phrase , " qtr life crisis".
Plenty of mid-20's folks felt bummed out  about life , like you. Thus, it was a 1/4 life crisis of conscious .

It's common for men to exhibit a "mid life crisis" in the 40's, 50's.
Their kids were raised, they were secure and steady in their career BUT life had lost it's luster.
This is when middle aged , married dudes  buy a sports car , get divorced and date a younger woman. Basically, the man is getting older , so,  fearing his own mortality he decides to live it up , before he croaks.

The 1/4 life crisis is different because the people involved haven't done shit with their lives  yet.
Most sufferers of this condition , recently graduated from college and feel ready to run the world.
Unless you form your own company, you begin with an entry level position. Most now realize , they don't run the show and will be working for someone else for the next 40 years! This is proof, they are just an avg working slob, trying to eek out a living, like millions of others . You don't feel unique or special. Damn , life is hard.

5. The problem is most  are brought up to believe that their job/career will be meaningful and important.
Forget that nonsense right now. Your job is a job , no more , no less.
Your provide a service and get paid for it. No more, no less.
That's the way it works , from CEO  to grocery clerk , we all have a job to do.
Like my mom once said ; " If you feel you're too good to do a job, you're too good for your own good ."

Sounds like depression. I have struggled with depression and the absolute worst part is when you no longer find joy in things you love. For me the key to improving this is just to force yourself out and do these things anyway. Might not feel great right away but you will eventually thaw out and enjoy things again.

One a side note, I remember when I was a kid death really freaked me out. Was very scared to die. Now at 34 I still don't want to die as I love life very much, but it is tiring and I can imagine when I'm in my 70s or so I will be ready to go.

lots of people have good reason to be depressed

depression can help point you in the right direction

what worries me most is being content when i should be depressed. luckily im not there yet -- and moving in the opposite direction, even.

True. Either God always existed or the universe always existed. Both are matters of faith. So it's fallacious when one accuses the other of being stupid for believing in fairy tales that can't be proven.

For something to exist it needs to come into existence at a specific point in time.
Something that comes into existence didn't exist before that point in time and will therefore eventually vanish.
So the universe cannot exist for eternity and therefore has not.
Also everything existing will not be eternal and can be called illusion.
Because when observed from the standpoint of eternity any existence will have a duration that's infinitely short.

Why? Because our mortal existence, and all we know, which is essentially nothing, dictates we spout such a limited statement of belief?

It is just words/theory.
Knowing something for sure?
I don't think so.

Because the universe had a beginning, the Big Bang, that implies it was created, a First Cause, and it will also have an end.

That why when I said that either God always existed or the universe always existed I go with God because the universe did not always exist.

But again, these are matters of faith.

I've been very depressed at times; I can totally understand how someone would want to kill themselves.

I don't believe that something can always have existed. It seems illogical, like trying to imagine an infinite universe or even a finite one for that instance.

Don't get me wrong---getting older DOES NOT MEAN "GIVING UP"......FUCK NO!!!
...but as you get older you get a better sense of what you really want to do with your life and shouldn't be continuing to live a lie of any sorts....

doesn't it though?  i mean, if somehow you actually were given the "choice" to succeed at your sport, would you have developed this "better sense of what you really want to do"?

I think it's pretty much "proven" that universe has always existed. I mean - you can't destroy information OR energy, so...................... what does that tell us?

Energy conservation is not some "absolute law" but rather it is a property of a system possessing a time-symmetric Lagrangian. The Universe is not such a system.

With that, a "form of energy" does not so much apply to energy itself but to the mathematical "form of the equation" used to define energy in terms of the specifics of the system. Energy is just energy; a property like momentum and charge that is related to a continuous symmetry.

There is no well-defined potential energy in General Relativity. It is possible to define energy conservation for static spacetimes in which a killing vector field can be constructed as is done with Schwarzschild and Kerr spacetimes, but however, no such construction is possible for the Universe.

Impressed aren't you, my cut and paste skills are second to none.

I had to read this twice.......to realize that I still don't understand shit.

Now how about information then? "They" say it's not destryoable, so must've existed forever.

I've been very depressed at times; I can totally understand how someone would want to kill themselves.

genetics might contribute to this sometimes. Hemingway and several of his immediate family members killed themselves.

[Sokolsky]

I've been very depressed at times; I can totally understand how someone would want to kill themselves.

I find myself sometimes wondering what it's like.
You know, just stepping in front of a train or moving traffic.
The anticipation of getting hit, perhaps the brief moment of shock of the pain and possible regret.
Organs being crushed and your flesh tearing from your bones by the sheer force.
Your mortal shell being ripped apart in a moment of helplessness.

Although perhaps it's more of a fascination with death as opposed real interest in dying.
Actually, I have no interest in dying at all. Like someone else mentioned, I couldn't quite care for it.
But it's an interesting topic. The many ways in which bodies can shut down, and the utter defensiveness in the face of true power.

I think it is pain us humans are more afraid of, being dead holds no fear for me, but pain does.

Ive always thought that if suicide would be the only option - it'd be best to get high on powerfull drugs and just jump off the cliff or something (maybe the Burj Al Khalifa), but when high one probably would not like to die lol..

This is probably true, getting really high has always removed any suicidal thinking I was indulging in.

One has to wonder how many lives drugs save. 

[_aj_]

Thread has taken a dark turn.

My fellow iron brothers! There is always being jacked and getting pussy! Eventually, you may find a good woman and settle down. Be a good husband and father and friend and neighbor.

And someday, you may find yourself helping another who is thinking dark thoughts and bring them into the light.
