sooo im just thinking about life.. And wondering why does everyone around me seem to find it so normal to be alive? i know i find it normal to be alive too most of the times... i try not to... ofcourse it gets normal to be alive if you been used to it for so long.. if that even makes sense lol. It seems like everyone just does what they have to do and live a normal life without questioning life itself..Like isn't it hella crazy to be alive? like WOAHH im alive...holy fuck! wtf? its so crazy and weird to be alive. Like when im sitting in college or at work i think why the hell am i sitting here when i could go travel all over the world and do crazy shit... damn.. Im questioning life so much lately and what reality is and if it's just a dream it's kinda scary sometimes. Some days i just lock myself up in my room and listen to music for hours just thinking about life : ) .. Like the world today is so crazy... so material.. nature's ways mean less and technoligy means more..so weird.. i would love to see everyone go back to nature's ways and lose most of the technoligy and believes of money and materialism..but that's what society's made us...clones..most of us atleast.. hard to break free from it If only i could live everyday in full amazement to be alive.. that would be so much better haha. U get so used to life that it seems really normal to wake up everyday..but it's really crazy.. to me atleast.. anyone else think like this?
I feel the same as you man, like everyone else doesn't know about how life is special. But the truth is, they choose not to know. They choose not to spread the love of the universe and life. some don't even know it like that. I found this comment on another site one time, it might help you like it helped me understand. Life… it can be compared to a dramatic love story where the lovers (man and the Creator) aspire toward each other (through bestowal)…>> – what dramatic love story if we do not know what love overall is? What is Love? If everything is permeated with love except man (how do we know and experience outside us what love is?), how can we talk about what we do not perceive? Even how can we relate to love if freedom of action is not given and determination is peforming our actions? Is this comment not a bit black-white painting and the reality less dramatic than potrayed? The question is: How can we effort to tell everybody that love = pure bestowal = comes from the creator = is a universal law = connects everything with everything = makes it possible to drop / overcome egoism = inspires for self bestowal (on human level) and leads us to “unlogical†self-dedication with the power to make oneself gift, bestowal towards the environment, but depicted with our “creator†and by dedicating ourselves we also dedicate our “creator†– and here we are back at the beginning – but richer and connected with the origin – is it not like this? Don't be selfish with love, it is a gift and everyone can give it. being alive is showing love in all things. My opinion anyways
Hey dude its all good enjoy the high but don't let it make you thought crazy. I went through a point were I was extremely low asking myself the reason for getting out of bed every morning but that is a different crappy story that I choose not to think about. Basically all you have to do is embrace pure consciousness and learn to forgive everybody. Even if the person has used you, lied to you, ripped you off... forgive them. Show that person light and guidance. Help that person to talk with more energy, express his/her opinions comfortably and learn from them. Help and expect nothing in return. If you do that, your mind essentially has no time to ponder existence, religion, existentialism or any other depressing mindfucking shit... relax and smoke another bowl life is fuckin' awesome
Yes good to know more people think like this : ). Like you say not everyone knows how special life is...That makes me think even the people i look up to and who seem so smart.. but i never see them questioning life. Or maybe they just don't talk about it. I never hear anyone say 'hey, wtf im alive?' haha. Also it seems most people are more interested in making money then in spirituality...isnt that crazy? i know it's not possible but if everyone would find it amazing and crazy to be alive every day wouldn't the world be more playfull and joyfull? oh and i LOVE your opinion about love, haha.
thanks for the comment. Just wondering though do you associate questioning existence with depressing thoughts? It just seems really weird to not question existence.. maybe im over thinking it i really wonder if questioning reality and life makes you smarter and develops spiritual knowledge or if it limits you in living life to the fullest.
yes I have questioned my existence numerous times. It's depressing to know that we/humans are ruining the earth that inhabits us. For billions of years leading up to the last two the earth's temperature was near a constant. In the last two years it has gone up 2-3 degrees. The scary thing is that th Earth has never done this before ever. This means that we(biological human beings) are changing rapidly. Our cells/mitochondria/nucleus(to be specific) cannot handle an extreme climate change. Think of it this way. Every species relies on obtaining energy. Really the only life that could survive the extreme of our situation is sea life 1 mile below the surface of the water. let me tell you, I wish I could get up on a podium on global televison with 47 translators for all of the languages translating a speech to explain loving existence for all we are the only animals that can love and be articulate and express individualism and so on and so forth... But the fact of the matter is that you can't change history. People are hating and wanting to kill you for being free(if you are free). There is no time to question existence, it's being threatened every minute with terrorists and radicals. I know there is nothing I, one person can do to solve this so.. after achieving all this perspective on life and people my thoughts on existence were not depressing anymore. I will continue to help and spread the word of world piece but im not gonna worry about what other people think too much either. I choose to enjoy the momments I got, and love my friends and family.
That phrase is beautifull! i agree its really crazy to think about what humans have done to this earth.. people use n abuse this world and now it's taking it's toll. So sad really only the leaders can make the big changes in the world and the 'normal' people can't really do that much..
You can question whatever you like, its great that you are, now remember that you have the ability to question and to choose what you want to believe in. It is encoded in our brain to question existence and wonder why we are alive and speculate its greatness, how about turning that positive energy into creative outcomes, like art (or video games). I used to question whether i was here on earth for a reason, i found out that yes i am, to be me in this life right now. Being aware of being alive is awesome because i can do things in my aliveness.
one good reason to be here is help others to the end. Lower the self-ego and all the negative energy it entails. When your sober you use only .1-.10% of your brain. When your blazed your using .30%... thats when you gain true perspective. food for thought
True that ^ The greatest satisfaction i can find in life is helping others realize that true perspective while sober.
