Β #ExistentialDilemma #LifeChoices #MeaningOfLife
Hey everyone! π Have you ever stopped to think about how bizarre it is that once we’re born, we’re kind of just… stuck? Like, we didn’t choose to be here, but now we have to deal with it whether we like it or not. Does anyone else find that a bit cruel?
Here are some possible solutions I’ve thought of to help navigate this existential dilemma:
– Find purpose and meaning in your life through hobbies, passions, or helping others
– Practice gratitude and mindfulness to appreciate the good things in life
– Explore different philosophies or religions to find guidance and comfort
What are your thoughts on this? How do you cope with feeling stuck in this strange thing called life? Let’s discuss! π #DeepThoughts #DiscussionTopics #LifeJourney
I wouldnβt say youβre not allowed to leave π Just keep in mind that there may be potential consequences to that decision after you go there ππ But if reincarnation is real – it is indeed not fun at all, or VERY fun. Depends on perspective
HAHA I think about this a lot. Iβm 26 now and Iβm coming out of my existential crisis phase. Weβre all here now, and the thought of what itβs like to transition back to the other side again freaks me out and Iβve come to terms with the fact that Iβll never fully be able to wrap my mind around what it will be like.
I kinda do view it as cruelty, as weird as that sounds. Iβm not having kids because while life is cool, itβs heavy as shit sometimes and having to grapple with lifeβs *many* problems and then face death in the end is *a lot* to deal with to say the least. Idk if I wanna bring someone here to experience all that. Doesnβt matter who you are, lifeβs just heavy, man.
You’re definitely allowed to leave.
It’s pretty easy too. Practically cheating.
Interesting. I like to think of my existence as a miraculous temporary blip in the way the atoms that I am made of have converged. The atoms have been here since the beginning of everything and will continue to exist after I stop being me. I like thinking about the fact that every fibre of me was once part of something else, and will become many other things until the end of everything. And that there’s like a 1 in 4 trillion chance that any of us exist in the first place. All existence is statistically amazing, and simultaneously temporary and permanent. So not cruel really just kind of humbling that I ever got to exist at all.
I can relate to thinking like this, but I find it’s an unhelpful perspective to become attached to. All flows, nothing lasts, nothing is lost. Life is temporary so “be here now”
Life is a prison sentence, all we do is wait around, waiting to die.
Literally I felt this scenario a few weeks ago and it almost drove me to the end. But personally religion helped me cope with my existence more healthily so, to each itβs own. But know that itβs YOUR life as well. Make it the best you ever had π
