Philosophy is like choosing which Transporter shall take you to your destination or which you hope will take you to your destination, whether you enjoy the trip or not!

And what transporter did you choose?

LordReed:
Ah that's fine then. I suggest you look into the Epicurean philosophy then. IMO it has better well rounded tenets.

Just had a look and I'll delve a bit deeper. It makes a lot of sense tho.

Choices

We are doomed to be free. What does this even mean? How is freewill a bad thing? You won't realise how dangerous freewill is until you look deeply at what a choice is. A choice is a really special thing, it opens an infinite amount of possibilities and at the same time closes many others, they are like keys that open new doors while others close, but the annoying thing about choices is, how do you know which will bring good (pleasure) and which will bring bad (pain) to you. You can't really know for sure, the annoying thing about a choice is that once you make one, it won't point out the right one to choose next, for example you might choose to apply for biochemistry in a university, but that choice does not save you from the choices you will meet: the choice to go for lectures or not, the choice to read or not, the choice to join a cult or not, likewise if you choose to become a businessman it doesn't save you from other choices you would make that could crash your business, each path you choose in life might lead to regret unfortunately and you will face the pain and pleasures of these choices, only you would know how the aftertaste of each choice is.

You might say your parents have the ability to choose the right choices for you, or society does, but then you are denying the meaningless, lack of answers and orderlessness of the world, you are denying the absurd therefore leading to bad faith which is dangerous because a wrong choice (by wrong I mean one which would bring pain to you) made by you is better than a wrong one made by someone else. So are we doomed to be free, yes and no, we are left alone to make these choices and they won't save us from other choices that might make or break all that an initial choice might have built, this is how crazy and absurd our lives are, it might sound scary of course that you have to choose, but don't be frightened, no matter how bad a choice turns out you still have the freedom to choose, it's really frightening yes, but it would make you aware of how precious choices are.

I really like your write up. I have a question that may not directly relate topic but is related to what you say about choices.
I'm guessing you're an atheist and a materialist, so what's your view on the concept of free will as an illusion given that consciousness is believed to reside in the brain and the brain is expected to follow the laws of cause and effect.

Dude, this doesn't make any sense

I just assumed I wasn't at the same spiritual wavelength to understand

SAMBARRY:
there are unspoken stories in art.art sends a message.if you don't know or understand art then you will not get my point.its not being emotional or sentimental.that art work is highly offensive

For example I can tell you I love you through painting without writing it in words,I can TELL you I hate you,I can equate you to an animal.i can tell you you're a gorilla WITHOUT WRITING IT IN WORDS. And that was exactly what the artist did

The reason why Burna boy is not seeing it that way is because he doesn't understand the language of art.if I say in Yoruba "werey Ni e" and you don't understand Yoruba language,you will brush it off and not read any meaning to it BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE

but if you do,you will definitely take offence.thats the whole point.

Bro, the gorilla is burna's signature.
If you've watched Odogwu video there's a part where Burna looks at his reflection and sees a gorilla.

On his album cover look at the sole of his shoe

Mods please no front page for privacy reasons, thanks

So yesterday was my birthday and my hubby completely ignored it as usual. Like he always does every year. I don't know why he does this, I told him before that I would like some kind of acknowledgement on my birthdays even if he doesn't take me out or buy expensive gifts he should at least maybe say a prayer for me but he still continues to act like he does not know it's my birthday, since the second year of our marriage he had been doing this.

It's very hurtful because he knows I like to be remembered on my birthday but he just ignores it. We don't go out anywhere, we don't do anything else to bond as a couple because he looks down on things like that, no random gifts, doesnt give me money unless I beg, no acknowledging anniversaries unless I bring it up. So I wanted just that one day to be the day he remembers me or does something special but he ignored it again.

I am trying to overlook his deliberate inconsiderate act because I reminded him two days ago about it and have been telling him for a while.


I know I might sound like I am taking little things serious but I am very hurt he isn't taking me serious about something that means a lot to me........Keeps doing the same thing every year. Is this not wickedness?


Abeg no insult me, am a sensitive person.

I can't excuse him not buying gifts for you and taking you out on any random day but I can excuse him for forgetting your birthdays even if it sounds harsh. You can try and judge from how he celebrates his own birthdays. Like you said he doesn't do anything on anniversaries, some people are just like that. Even if you tell me that tomorrow is your birthday I'll still forget if you like put a gun to my head. I suggest you simply remind him on the particular day then suggest where you want to go. Tell him to at least take you out once in a while and it doesn't have to be on "special days"

It's called profiling...Every Human being is a born profiler , profiling is our most inate defense mechanism as humans , we profile every thing from sound , to light , to clouds to even our parents before we make our next moves

You need to know how smart this sounds to me. It's probably because I'm high.
This is simply how the brain works. There are to many things in the world for the brain to simply start processing one by one. It has to work with clumping groups of things in classes and assigning characteristics to these classes. This makes the universe easier to understand when in fact lots of things actually occur along a spectrum.

Bryce123:
i try to do this most times but the interest ain't there

Bro I get you. That's why I said you might lack motivation. You'll just need the push to start it. You can also try volunteering for different activities if you have the time as it'll be an avenue to meet more people. One thing is for sure, you'll need people around you. From there you can get a few friends.
No man is an island.
The way depression works most times you simply wouldn't be interested in all of these and I wish you had someone with you to push you. But this is the way life is, you can only pity yourself for so long. Others are living their lives around you. Believe me if you work for it you'll have a decent future. You're good looking and smart, with just this you're ahead of many people in life. Try to forget about your friend that promised you money. Imagine what you'll have done if he never made the suggestion in the first place. Like I said earlier just try to do the things I mentioned above or any other hobbies you like to lift your mood while trying to get paid.
One day you'll look back at your life and wonder how you could be so tough.

Broo..... I can't say I totally understand what you're passing through right now but I feel your pain. I'll advise you take the advice of the people above telling you to look for odd jobs no matter how menial just to put food on the table.
For this night, try to get a comedy series to download if you have the data. It might seem like it wouldn't help or you might not be motivated to do so but just give it a try and it'll probably lighten your mood

I didn't say kids. At old age, your partner will still be with you. Having a gist mate, a companion, a friend who loves you in old age is beautiful. Let's stop hyping lonely life as if it's preferable.

So if your husband should die, what would you do. Kill yourself?

OP How often do you daydream?

I can't believe I read all the post till the end. Man everyone is going through some shii and I really connected with some niqqurs answers. My heart goes out to y'all

Ma niqqur quit responding. They've never interacted with u to know anything about you
