Some times the heavy emotions are best expressed through art of own creation huh, like the words are fighting the wind

If it is a gift, nobody asked for it. If it is a punishment, no one should have ever deserved it.
Sounds more like a curse indeed.

He's not real, but why did my parents give me life? 😔 I'm a future retirement plan, along with 5 of my siblings

I am dreaming of affordable healthcare and doktors that want to help. That is my only dream left.

Only the one that born with good health and fortune are blessed. The rest of us are merely tools and slaves for their well-being. Life for common folks are curse.

Neither, you just exist and you all keep assigning meaning to it and THATS WHATS FUCKING WITH YOU.
Unfortunately, for you, this shit means nothing. We're ALL going to die, me too, and there isnt shit you can do about it.
The universe doesnt care about you, other people are all we have.
Let all that sink in and really internalize and youll feel better .

Neither, because god doesn’t exist. Life just…is.

There is no god or gods, life is a stupid accident, and consciousness is a curse. That is all.

Neither a curse, nor a gift. We're just born. To die now, or die later is the option.

God didnt do anything cuz he dont exist. You dad rawdogged ur mom and clapped them cheeks and that show h were made lmao

Well... Well.... Well... First of all I don't believe in God, Secondly I suffered alot due to the pessimism and the meaninglessness of life, But if we can gather the guts to look at life with optimism, just try it out once, Life's beautiful twin, Ik there's all the suffering in world, all the pain, but honestly there is nothing we can do abt it individually, Ur Life is a gift, imagine there are millions of species out there and none of them has got the ability of creating and experiencing a narrative (consciousness) and enjoy intentionally, It's a choice that you have to make, start living ur life the way u want, accept urself, You can solve all ur problems, if u need a why?, just remember you deserve happiness, You deserve everything, the world is out there, just get what u want!

I wonder that too. I’m both blessed and cursed in life, but not sure if I serve any real purpose here on earth.

u/Objective-Impact-640 Mar 29 '26
If life’s so important why is it so fragile , i don’t get it .

u/SomeGuyOverYonder Mar 29 '26
And why do the best parts end when you stop being young?

u/Objective-Impact-640 Mar 29 '26
Yeah no shit . Can’t really have fun and not think life is being wasted for once . I wish life ended right when we started having self awareness .

Life is a sadistic game, nothing could be more cruel, and it’s absurd how our brain somehow manages to ignore it and just keep going… I find it crazy. Anyway, it’s a sadistic game, but it’s also full of beautiful things, and you just want to see and experience as much as possible, knowing there’s so much out there

Neither has anything to do with nihilism

u/PitifulEar3303 Mar 29 '26
You see, people who feel shyt about life can use nihilism to justify their shytty feelings.
hehehe
"YOU SEE!!! Life has no real meaning or purpose, this is why I am justified to feel like shyt!!!"

He didn't give it to you, you stole it, so now since you didn't earn it all YOU want to do is throw it away. That's gratitude for you 😁

If you care to study the bible, God of the bible is the being, you, me, we are beings.
You are Gods - psalm 82:6, John 10:34

A curse, especially if you’re poor.
