I have no hope for the future

Post Reply New Topic

No, I'm not depressed.
I think the conept of the future being like some ascending bar graph is one of the biggest hoaxes in history.
We are told to plan, study, better ourselves, work, save etc so we might have this glorious future life.
When do we arrive at this ideal future?
When we retire after a lifetime and we're too old and sick and tired to enjoy it?
I've worked hard for most of my life for what?

Time is cyclic, not linear.
The planets go round, the clock ticks away.
I will die and others will be born.
There is no future to work towards because the future doesn't exist.
And history means nothing at all.
You may argue with me but I don't see a point in anything, really.
Realising life is pointless is quite a liberating experience.

That's why i mostly chat a lot of s**t because there is no reason for me to do anything but chat s**t.

At the end of the day nobody gives two shiny shites about my existence in the grand scheme of things and I'm fully aware that not a jot of what I do even matters.

However, I do endeavor not to go down the murky pathways of such thoughts because I might get caught up within my thinkings and dwell amongst them.

Not to worry Raleigh.

Thanks, babybird.

Who was the Zen master who on his deathbed said, "All I've done is talk shite from bathtub to bathtub - the bath in which I was washed at birth and the bath my body will be washed in before burial."?

Or something to that effect.

You may have noticed I talk a lot of s**t too.

Basically. Everything is done under the sun.

hahaha....

Raleigh, there's nothing better than whiling the hours away talking utter shite.

I don't know anything about zen masters either.

You do have an exceptionally good taste in footwear by the way.

Don't worry, feel free to borrow some of mine. The future is just a construct where we build more; time follows us around because we needed it to evolve in the first place. Ennui's just a dumb side effect that compresses time into zero sums.

This thread makes me drool over kinetic analog watches...

If I were able to do good art, the future would be brighter for me--because I'd be able to paint my conception of it.

Small things!

This notion of big stuff is made up. A BS benchmark .

You know what you see visually/etc, the beauty you experience, that's the hope for the future, an endless supply of that.

I digress; I've been too serious... You're right that reality is not serious business.

Yes, everything's too serious.

Life is a joke.
I'm not sure who's laughing over it but it may as well be me.

I reckon that the big things are part of a mass delusion, seriously.

Nah, I will take happiness and my own meaning from the subtle things, you know like finding a lost blue marble.
Much love Raleigh .

A corollary to Amity's statement is that you'll benefit from serving said joke in bite-size morsels in your quest to prepare others for the true hilarity of it all. You're great with sheeple!
