How I've tried and tried to be less sentient...I do deal with it in my own way, I guess I just try to get people think think about themselves and others. Motives and instincts and weaknesses and such. I think if we can start understanding ourselves better we could make some progress. It's amazing how many people have absolutley no concept of the type of beings we are.
Get to uni/college, you'll meet people who actually enjoy thinking. I've ended up taking both approaches: I get hammered when I want to tune out my brain's more irritating trains of thought, but in between blackouts I want to figure out a way to reconcile my happiness and my sentience, if only to lessen what I spend on alcohol. I feel I'm well on the way.
The best philosophy of life (or at least the most applicable) that I have heard (embarassingly and unfortunately) is a lyric from a Sublime song: "fuck it or fight it, it's all the same." At the end of the day, when looking back over past triumphs and tribulations, true-er words have not been spoken.
i'd say you mainly have to view things objectively and not worry so much about how things will turn out. 1) Keep an optimistic view on life 2) Ge honest and open 3) Don't let people get to you 4) Go with the flow
Mine,hmmm..."be as open-minded as possible". For me, open-mindedness is one of the most important things. Also: 'live and let live'...Obviously.*points at avetar*
cherish freedom..define the word LIVE..dont just talk about it...respect knowledge because it's power, arm yourself...hardships are a whole lot more tolerable when theres an overwhelming calm mellowing softly about the soul. Just roll with it..what is what is..push yourself...overcoming fear is a beautiful thing..chase the rush..whatever it may be for you..and just fucking live it out man!! Create..express..imagine..time is nothing..so just let it ride..and let love do its thang
I'd add to the Sublime theory of life: Fuck it or fight it, it's all the same Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane... Get a dog, or a cat, or a rat --- something un-humanoid to share your life with... it will free you in a million ways. G.
life is about having children, and taking care of them, because if you dont what really do you die for? nothing. i love my girl and my daughter, theyre all i need in the world.
Create your own reality. Live, don't exist. Remember that if we didn't suffer, we could never be happy. Discover who you are. It's fascinating and takes a lifetime. love daisyness xxx
Wow, old thread alert. But thunk it, I will add something. I believe in a work hard, play hard philosophy. Always decided that was the best call, for myself at least.
