You want to marry me?

I like you.

sochey:
This was four years ago, lol.
I live in satellite.

Funny, I didn't check the date then. You must be married now or at least engaged.

SpyMaster1:
Lately I have been thinking a lot about death and the meaning of experiences in life. The thought of death is kinda liberating if I think about all the bad/painful experiences that I have experienced/will experience, in the sense that they are transient and can't last that long (like Epicurus' tetrapharmakos).

Then, on the other hand the same reasoning applies to good and joyful experiences that life offers: e.g. moments with friends, with your SO, in contact with nature, doing what you love, etc... If even these experiences are transient and not durable, what's the point of experiencing them? They are great to experience in the moment, but when they are about to end I always feel sadness and nostalgia. In the end we will die no matter what we have experienced. Will we have a satisfied look at those joyful moments the instant before we die?

So, summing it up: the memento mori concept is good (at least for me) when considering bad experiences, but also extremely depressing when considering the good times.

Does anyone think something like this? What's your take on this subject?

This indeed is a very deep right up. I would have said try balance the two experiences up but we know some experiences whether good or bad are out(beyond) of our control. So the best you could do his try to create has much good experience you possibly can and let Nature do it's job of balancing it out with bad experience which maybe due to the consequences of some of the good experience you tried to create, what I do which I will recommend is to console yourself with the knowledge it would not last for long during bad experience and enjoy your good experience while it last even when you know it's only going to be for a short time. Like I usually say when I'm sad that it will surely pass and if it doesn't pass it means I died, which it isn't still a bad thing.

I think we have a very limited time. There is so much that I would like to learn and do but it is unlikely that I can get everything done in my lifetime.

If I had an infinite life, I could live a year or 5 years in each country in the world so I could learn about culture. Then I could spend a few decades learning about physics, chemistry, or biology. Then I could start a farm and learn how to live on the land. By that time, I’m sure I would have other goals that I could work on.

Some people are saying that without death, we would never get started on anything. I very much doubt that. I don’t go to work because I will die. I go to work because I need money and I like what I do. My life is interesting when I am productive.

Other people are saying that the world will be overpopulated if we have infinite lives. I imagine that people would have less children if they knew the children would live and they didn’t need children to take care of them in old age. We have already seen that when people are more wealthy, they have less children.

Imagine what you could do with the wisdom and knowledge you would have after a few hundred years of life. It would be a lot closer to meaningful than it is now.

First people that said we would never get started on anything in we live forever are almost perfectly right. True, you work now because you need money to do what? Tell me if I'm wrong when I say the money you need is to sustain life, so if the life you are working to sustain isn't going anywhere so what's the essence of working now? And if you say you don't need the money for sustaining life like feeding and shelter but to enjoy and experience a lot of it like traveling over the country as you pointed out that's where procrastination and carefree attitude comes in. Or let's assume you aren't procrastinating if you do all what you want to do, enjoy and learn let's say it took you 800 years, the you know how much years you will still live after that? That 800 years is like 0.00000000000000000001% of the life you will still live and what will be the essence of all you have enjoyed, learnt and experience. Trying to enjoy your life will become boredom in itself. Trust me we have learnt more we could have we've we were to be immortals. Through the short lifespan people know we have limited time so the do what they can and document it which others come and build on and upgrade and die and another set, and the cycle continues unlike when we are immortal and almost people will procrastinate and someone with a knowledge will not what to share or documents it down since there's enough time to finish and start on another project and would not want another person to take the credit of upgrading your research, why will I want to upgrade your research even when there is time for me to start mine from scratch and take credit.

pansophist:
Yes. Life will become less meaningful.

Just as sand isn't valued compared to let's say gold, immortality will make life less valuable.

When there is only birth and living forever, without death and living shortly, there is no mourning for the dead, and no value for life.

Threatening someone with prison is meaningless because they will be out and live forever anyways. Concepts like procrastination, intentionality, and living uprightly won't exist.

The very essence of mortality and fleeting time gives meaning to all these things.

Funny how I was just pondering on immortality this morning about how I once wrote on my class WhatsApp group chat 2-3 years ago that death is actually a blessing to humanity. I was unable to explain when they ask me to(someone actually said it and I just solidified the claim by agreeing which one or two others also agreed with) but this morning as I was reflecting on it, it made more sense like an old wine. If we don't die, life will become so boring and meaningless, sometimes there are some pains (accident victims) that only death could bring relief. Death will also make more sense if you believe in reincarnation.

Hello Nlanders...

Recently, I came across a thread talking about the latest bobrisky achievement.

As curious as I can get, I decided to check out the filter on Snapchat and I must say, I don't like the filter at all.. LMAO

Below is a pic

Are you sure it's only filter you want us to see?
Where in Lagos do you you live?

DeepSight:
He's a looney. You are intrigued because his madness is spiced here and there with a few sprinkles of true things and little drops of serious thought. But 99 per cent is trash.

You claim he's been trying to gain some sort of fellowship but his been doing this for over 2 years now and even trying his best to stay at of view of people that's wants to know him physically or even follow him up outside of here. So why else do you think he's doing this since gaining followership is out of question?

njelrapheal:
guy he may have a job or business. its all a function of time. people in their 50s and 60s battle this.. so it a function of time

True I'm not arguing that. He's what can be called a professional sports bettor or trader. Of course he will have a job or had job also his subs pay some amount of money which could be running into hundred of thousands and may have been building it from 1k stakes till he starts staking 500k to millions and could even afford influencers to advertise for him

njelrapheal:
na same 1hour en go take loose am that time you wont be there to carry the story cos they loose silently.

True he looses, but if he's wretched he wouldn't be posting games he played till now. This guy stake 500k on a steady on 10- 30 odds. Aside the 1.80 odds he wins regularly that he loses. Some people just know how to go about it bro.

IAmHim1:
The logo design is not the logo designer. They're 2 different things

Sure you can see the Expression of the logo designer in the logo they created... but the logo itself can't walk and talk like the logo designer. Do you see that now

You're of your Father BUT YOURE NOT YOUR FATHER

God created us from dust....but you, the created, can only create another being through reproduction...you can't mould your own human same way God did!

that's what my mentor was trying to pass across and he rightfully did so

God is Love.

True, logo design is of the designer and not of the designer only when you look at it from one design but if you take into account the logo, other logos, reasoning, mentality, eyes, hands and brain he uses in designing, legs, speech, body movement and everything about him into account then everything in it's totality becomes the logo designer. So you and I and gohelpyourself and Lion King and that murderer and king David and that mountain on Mars and this milky Galaxy are all God. The Consciousness that expanded that we all are using to breath and create other things. That's why even that small toy created can still be said to be created by God, God is not personal, his not physical but IT's experiencing physicality through us and animals, we are like IT's skin. Just go read about Spinoza's God. Then you will understand better.

IAmHim1:
I'm a Good Person BECAUSE I Can be Evil Too.

Good people should have the Capability to do evil BUT choose NOT to do so

If a good person is simply good without the capacity for evil, then such person is good because he/she simply doesn't have a choice. More like a mindless zombie

The ability for that special someone to choose the path of goodness KNOWING fully well that they can cause great harm should the need be IS WHAT MAKES A PERSON TRULY GOOD!

a) Learn from the Angels.

All powerful and magnificent spiritual beings... serving the creators purpose of light...But that doesn't mean you would ever dare attempt to cross them!

Or


let's look at someone whom most of us readers can relate to.

Take superman for instance...a sci-fi character no doubt but for the sake of this post

Superman is soo powerful that he could cause destruction to the city of metropolis and Kansas where he grew up, IF HE WANTED TO.

He has the power to... infact... superman is so powerful that he can defeat the whole justice league should he choose to...
He could, BUT HE DIDN'T...not because he can't....but because he knows he can but choose not to

This a great piece. That's what I told you the other time that you are a part of God and you mentor started getting angry. You are a god because you the angels are your right brain and your demons are left brain. You are the combination of good and evil, sun and moon, light and dark, ying and yang, masculine and feminine, Christ and Lucifer, heaven and hell, it's up to you to create a balance so as to attain higher consciousness. We all are how God (the Creator, great Source as I call him, highest Consciousness) experiences this Earth or work because he created them and created us to enjoy it. That's why you can only enjoy or endure your own experience. Check out how Spinoza describe God so you can understand, that's the God Albert E believed in.

As today bloody reach you still won

Best punters squeeze out wins no matter what. I won 2 out of 4 tickets I pasted yesterday which isn't good enough as yesterday as you said was bloody. But as Liverpool do their nonsense I tried one last time, instead of me to do 10 or 15 odds max I went for 52 odds that Feyernoord spoilt leading 2-0 till 80+ only to draw the game.

GodisStriking:
Thanks, I would still love to know who the artist is? I'm assuming that he is Igbo because its a movie about Igbo kingship. Although Frank Artus is Liberian I think he does a great job acting even clearly he isn't the actual guitarist and vocalists behind this beautiful song.

Okay, I think you best chance in knowing the artist is to go find the full movie and try and see the crew member when showing the credits at the end of the movie.

Who is the artist behind this theme song?

It features an acoustic guitar, traditional drums, soulful male vocals with very slow rhythm.

The lyrics are, someone is calling me I can hear my name, I'm just want want to survive

The chorus is in Igbo language

Most of these songs aren't full songs. They are just for the movies and I think the movies in which they ate sung hold the copyright.
