I am becoming really apathetic when it comes to what anyone believes or the search for truth and knowledge. It all seems completely useless to me and people just end up using their knowledge to dominate rather than enlighten, which ends up making me feel as though we are all a bunch of gorillas competing to become the alpha male; it leaves me feeling sick and I don't want to participate in any of it anymore. The only thing that I ever want to focus on is enjoying time with friends, trying to help, and improving on my own condition. I no longer care about who we are, where we come from, where we are going, politics, science, literature. It's all just a waste of time and besides. I have no patience for any of it, and I can never seem to shake off my solipsism that I have with knowledge. How can we be sure of anything? How can anyone be sure of anything then use that to maul it over another person? It's all grotesque and I want to move as far away from it as I possibly can from now on. And even if it makes sense, how can we be sure that our sense is trustworthy? It's mind boggling and it's even more reason why I believe it's wrong that one person expects the other person to change their mind. The intelligent show off their intelligence just as a muscle bound guy shows off his pecks. It's vain and it shows a lack of character in my opinion. I really and truly hate it. I believe everyone should do their own studying if they want, but anyone pushing forward ideas as though they know for sure that its true is something that I will from now on ignore. Everyone appears to be open minded to each others ideas, but there is no one that I know that truly ever changes their mind -- they will believe whatever they want to believe and I will believe whatever I want to believe. Trying to compete and mud slinging will just end up causing personal stress. It's not worth it. I have read into evolution and what not and my solipism jumps in and I can never just accept it as fact. I just don't really trust anyone who says they know and then give me some sure reason why it's true. Who in the world are they to say they know, and how can they be so sure of their intelligence over you? It makes no sense. I could be a complete moron and that's why I don't understand. But if that's true, even more reason for me not to participate in squabbles. It's just all pointless. Bless anyone who pushes forward in their own endeavors, but leave me out of it and don't use me to feel superior. Some do it to try to 'heal' the other person, what I say is, heal yourself, and your health may be contagious I had enough, take care of yourselves.
There is no universal truth – we’re like a dog chasing after its own tail The best things in life are a good fuck, a good shit, a good nights sleep Hotwater
The mind is the only thing we can change. Focus establishes the parameters of experience. This is as good as it gets.
everyone is trying to create their own reality out of the same ingredients apathy rules... but who cares :mickey:
Yeah I feel that, its like when someone is trying to drop some enlightenment on you and then they speak with so many big confusing words its completely pointless. Its like they just want to hear themselves talk or something.
What good is knowledge without life experience? What good is knowledge without having looked into the eyes of the subject, rather than a description.
One thing you could do is just accept yourself as a man. Men can do anything, 'cause men aren't supposed to be infallible. (Whether or not you actually think you are infallible being your own personal belief.) I'm personally just having fun saying idiotic things and maybe being wrong some percentile of the time. Apathy is a good thing when it comes to other people's politics and philosophies. Let them get angry and let the mellow people be your friends.
regarding Def saying about how can you change some ones thoughts, well I feel by presenting facts. A person can now dispose of preview views and ideals to accept what now truly it.
Awsome post.. I used to be that guy, but Ive recently relized that there isnt any point.. Im now to the point where all I want to do is ask questions, if people ask me questions, thats fine. But I`m done stating my beliefs/guess`s as if anyone gave a fuck what I think, or as if they were any more relevant than anyone elses.
I think if your truly don't care in sharing your beliefs or thoughts then I don't think you would be posting in any forums.
Sounds like more of a case of being put off by know-it-all's and people who are completely sure of their reality. My perception has changed so many times over my life that I know it would be foolish to say anything with absolute certainty. I'll just state what I belief is the most likely case, without being too forcefull of my opinion, but I will still be seeking my truth, but at the same time not succombing to it, never forgetting I have a life to live.
Can you tell me how to get the middle one? The first and last ones are just a memory now.....:wheelchair::bigcry:
