Pov: how you think you should live after reading about Diogenes and the futility of material pursuits. #legit

I really think this small quote from the movie "Fight Club" is very applicable to the lives of many here. Insomnia here is a metaphorical comparison to our lifestyles. We have become so busy with many, seemingly-important tasks that we are literally living through an insomnia that we do not know. Sometimes you might want to stop and take a look at your life, observing what you have done so far, and where you are heading at. P.s: Not applicable to this matter, but I would still like to chip in some more. If life is a garden, live it observing and feeling the scent of every single flower. You should not go pedantic and try to fathom out why the leaves of the garden and green. #nerdmaxxing

Posting exceptional reddit responses: Part 1. You've been pulled into modern society's expectations that externals such as pleasure, money, reputation, beauty, power and social status are moral goods; that the absence of these is bad, because they are the purpose of material life in a purposeless universe. Is it possible that wisdom, one's character, and how one treats others, are what is important and are the higher goal, in a Universe with greater meaning? Either choose to stay on the hedonic treadmill where you can never win because the higher you climb, you always find yourself coming up upon someone who has more, or seek a greater pleasure to replace those you once craved but now tire of. A life where you are just here to accumulate stuff that will die with you. A life where you judge yourself and others not by the content of character but by material, superficial and external things, outside one's ultimate control. Or, choose a different path, where you can be a good, confident person with peace of mind, based on your wisdom and character. A life where you are here for a purpose, in sync with a purposeful Universe. A life where you and others are judged by content of character, not by external, material and superficial things outside one's control. #reddit

Try to have a lunch 3 hours later than you are used to. You will feel a bit hungrier (real hunger). As soon as you get the meal, you will think of those who do not have that opportunity. And with the first spoon you will say “Alhamdulillah” - you will indeed be grateful. Repeat it every 3-4 days and you will always stay grounded.

Soviet Brutalism 😤 @husan_thinking pro photogrpager in disguise. Bro's been hiding his talents from us for too long.

Philosophizing isn't inherently bad or vile, but the conclusions people make after digging deep enough are not distinct from the fears of those who chose not to go down that path. Greeks, Romans, stoics.... all fun and games Then it's Dostoevsky, Camus, Sartre... the gloomy lot, I must say. And some go as far as acute liberalism, manifestation of one's pursuit for full autonomy over him/herself (usually displayed in the form of lgbt activism, eerie colorful mob movements, bringing full on devastation and cacophany to everyone around, or gender transformation), suicide, development of a personal religious/ideological framework, deviation from societal norms, obscurity in the perception of morality and immorality, (signs of) insanity, psycopathy, sociopathy, and overall inklings of derangement. At the end, you come to realize that you have the freedom to choose what to believe in and what not to put your hope in, what aspects of life you should be concerned about and what aspects you should ignore, and what kind of life you want and don't want to lead. There's nothing wrong in anything, there's only our standpoint that draws the line of universal goodhood and malevolence. P.s. believe me, you cannot even fathom how far our minds can take us. for some it's an unparalleled instrument of unmatched power and potential and, for some, the most calluous damnation. #thoughts

Support needed. The link. Please, dm me if further elaboration is necessary. P.s. the only thing i can say right now is that this is for your advantage!

If the descent is thus sometimes performed in sorrow, it can also take place in joy. This word is not too much. Again I fancy Sisyphus returning toward his rock, and the sorrow was in the beginning. When the images of earth cling too tightly to memory, when the call of happiness becomes too insistent, it happens that melancholy arises in man’s heart: this is the rock’s victory, this is the rock itself. The boundless grief is too heavy to bear…But crushing truths perish from being acknowledged. I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one’s burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy. #yeah
