Stop focusing on material achievement. It's all a fucking distraction. Stop focusing on "success". Stop focusing on how what you've accomplished will be remembered by generations to come.I was like you once. I realized it was dumb and I simply stopped caring about all of that shit. You want money, you want success, you want to be like your idols...but do you really?It's all a fucking distraction.
And care about what instead? There ain't no idol I wanna be like, i AM the idol. And I need materials to like eat and not starve to death thx. A distraction from what? Sounds like you're the one without a focus. You're the one so obsessed with those ideals you have to actively shut it out>Remembered by generations to comeThis is an obligation and those who have nothing to pass down are the ones with luxury. But with luxury comes lack of impetus
>>34165385>>34165363If you're not going to be a nihilist (which is self defeating), realizing the vanity of everything else should lead to God.
>>34165385>And care about what instead?>A distraction from what?Romance and socialization. I'm saying this because it's a tradeoff.>You're the one so obsessed with those ideals you have to actively shut it outThat used to be the case, yea.
>>34166264I do agree that "romance and socialisation" ie reproduction is priority over accumulating resources that won't be used or will be used frivolously (ie simply money but not value)
>>34166788You seem very sure of yourself.
>>34165363I would like social connection and financial security against bad setbacks.
>>34165363Another fucking namefag that can't see his own stupidity. Did you read your fucking post? You're presenting your own conclusion as reality. In this case I PERSONALLY agree that a romantic partner and a community (friends) are extremely important, but some people have that. So this whole distraction stuff doesn't apply to everyone it applies to YOU. Please reconsider using a name on an anonymous forum, it's extremely, extremely fucking gay
>>34166896I hope he(she) learns to embody a modern Diogenes THO.
>>34166871But you fail to see that they're all linked, romance socialising material generation/accumulation is all just to provide for offspring which is what takes precedence over all of those
>>34165363Religious people argue this to commit to their faith. And to be honest it does feel like a giant lighter to be gaslit with. Apart from anonymity there's hardly a reality me and idols share. Thanks OP
What sense would it make to stop pursuing these things? I agree in a sense of materialism in that someone shouldn't pursue strictly the "luxuries" of life, but to be successful from a financial standpoint means you don't have to put up with someone else's shit. You don't have to wake up at a set time in the morning. You don't have to slave away decades of your life for a greater goal that you have no real attachment to.In what world would it make sense to stop pursuing a reality in which you can be free of all of this? Even if you are indifferent to the prospect of spending your whole life slaving away, what would stop you from becoming a nihilist? What is the point of life if not to be successful?
>>34165363I genuinely don't know what's wrong with you people>material achievements are obviously inferior to being able to rub rotten parts together, obviously! don't forget having a bunch of idiots who you can drink beer with!JFC.
