Is this true? Is it always better to be stubborn and uncomprising? To die with a bang rather than accept something not up to fantasy or deal with a failure? Philosophy and meaning of life otaku please get in here.

I can't decide if I want to have a nice peaceful suicide in my room or maybe something out in the woods or if I want to do a highspeed chase and do a suicide-by-cop thing.

I have a 350rwhp+ car at my disposal and I could do some things to really make it an interesting chase but the fear of failure frightens me.

Just get drunk before you do it; your fear of failure will disappear, though your driving skills will go with it.

>stubborn and uncomprising
it's a method of approach that will work differently for different things

>To die with a bang rather than accept something not up to fantasy or deal with a failure
dying wouldn't solve anything

when I was 15 or so i used to think these internet talks about 'deep and meaningful' stuff was worth it right up until i worked out it's just mental masturbation and boils down to whether you're happy or not. if you're not change yourself or what you're doing.

I failed out of college and my parents are still cheering me on I have no idea why. School was never for me anyways. I'm thinking about joining the military, always wanted to know how to use a gun and kill someone. Everyone around here is retired military anyway maybe I'd fit in better if i was too. I wish I had some guidance in my life my parents are always too happy to encourage me to do things that I'm having trouble deciding what to do. I've been depressed for years now and I'm not sure if living is worth it, never been on anti depressants so this isn't some withdraw either.

What a stupid question.

[Anonymous No.]

You were on your way home when you died.

It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.

And that’s when you met me.

“What… what happened?” You asked. “Where am I?”

“You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words.

“There was a… a truck and it was skidding…”

“Yup,” I said.

“I… I died?”

“Yup. But don’t feel bad about it. Everyone dies,” I said.

You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. “What is this place?” You asked. “Is this the afterlife?”

“More or less,” I said.

“Are you god?” You asked.

“Yup,” I replied. “I’m God.”

“My kids… my wife,” you said.

“What about them?”

“Will they be all right?”

“That’s what I like to see,” I said. “You just died and your main concern is for your family. That’s good stuff right there.”

You looked at me with fascination. To you, I didn’t look like God. I just looked like some man. Or possibly a woman. Some vague authority figure, maybe. More of a grammar school teacher than the almighty.

Officer school if you can son. With some good faith you'll have the emo sissy beaten out of you along with the sense of worthlessness as you learn how to lead and people put their lives in your hands.

[Anonymous No.]

“Don’t worry,” I said. “They’ll be fine. Your kids will remember you as perfect in every way. They didn’t have time to grow contempt for you. Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be secretly relieved. To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If it’s any consolation, she’ll feel very guilty for feeling relieved.”

“Oh,” you said. “So what happens now? Do I go to heaven or hell or something?”

“Neither,” I said. “You’ll be reincarnated.”

“Ah,” you said. “So the Hindus were right,”

“All religions are right in their own way,” I said. “Walk with me.”

You followed along as we strode through the void. “Where are we going?”

“Nowhere in particular,” I said. “It’s just nice to walk while we talk.”

“So what’s the point, then?” You asked. “When I get reborn, I’ll just be a blank slate, right? A baby. So all my experiences and everything I did in this life won’t matter.”

“Not so!” I said. “You have within you all the knowledge and experiences of all your past lives. You just don’t remember them right now.”

[Anonymous No.]

I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. “Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you can possibly imagine. A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you are. It’s like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if it’s hot or cold. You put a tiny part of yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it back out, you’ve gained all the experiences it had.

“You’ve been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven’t stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. If we hung out here for long enough, you’d start remembering everything. But there’s no point to doing that between each life.”

“How many times have I been reincarnated, then?”

“Oh lots. Lots and lots. An in to lots of different lives.” I said. “This time around, you’ll be a Chinese peasant girl in 540 AD.”

“Wait, what?” You stammered. “You’re sending me back in time?”

“Well, I guess technically. Time, as you know it, only exists in your universe. Things are different where I come from.”

“Where you come from?” You said.

“Oh sure,” I explained “I come from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there are others like me. I know you’ll want to know what it’s like there, but honestly you wouldn’t understand.”

“Oh,” you said, a little let down. “But wait. If I get reincarnated to other places in time, I could have interacted with myself at some point.”

“Sure. Happens all the time. And with both lives only aware of their own lifespan you don’t even know it’s happening.”

“So what’s the point of it all?”

“Seriously?” I asked. “Seriously? You’re asking me for the meaning of life? Isn’t that a little stereotypical?”

“Well it’s a reasonable question,” you persisted.

I looked you in the eye. “The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature.”

I remember hearing that the military has a thing where if you sign up with a buddy they guarantee you can be shipped off together to the same basic training.

We should get a large group of /jp/sies to go sign up so we can be one entire group and get into all sorts of shenanigans like a 2 month long /jp/ meetup and maybe get to go to the same bases with eachother.

[Anonymous No.]

“You mean mankind? You want us to mature?”

“No, just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature and become a larger and greater intellect.”

“Just me? What about everyone else?”

“There is no one else,” I said. “In this universe, there’s just you and me.”

You stared blankly at me. “But all the people on earth…”

“All you. Different incarnations of you.”

“Wait. I’m everyone!?”

“Now you’re getting it,” I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back.

“I’m every human being who ever lived?”

“Or who will ever live, yes.”

“I’m Abraham Lincoln?”

“And you’re John Wilkes Booth, too,” I added.

“I’m Hitler?” You said, appalled.

“And you’re the millions he killed.”

“I’m Jesus?”

“And you’re everyone who followed him.”

You fell silent.

“Every time you victimized someone,” I said, “you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you’ve done, you’ve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you.”

[Anonymous No.]

You thought for a long time.

“Why?” You asked me. “Why do all this?”

“Because someday, you will become like me. Because that’s what you are. You’re one of my kind. You’re my child.”

“Whoa,” you said, incredulous. “You mean I’m a god?”

“No. Not yet. You’re a fetus. You’re still growing. Once you’ve lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born.”

“So the whole universe,” you said, “it’s just…”

“An egg.” I answered. “Now it’s time for you to move on to your next life.”

And I sent you on your way.

I doubt everyone on /jp/ are fat neckbeards. However, there are still strict vision and fitness standards. Some won't be able to make it into the higher vocations on their brains either. Besides Murrica perhaps, quite a few Western militaries aren't exactly starved of eligible recruits in this economic climate.
tl;dr: not all jpsies would be selected. Not even close.

I don't know about you, but getting into USMA West Point isn't possible for braindead monkeys. There are some very bright, career-minded types. Although I can see why some may reject the thought given it's incompatible with the dumb-jock stereotype they use to comfort themselves.

if your eyes are bad they give you glasses
if you can't do the minimum fitness stuff (which isn't much, seriously) you can spend a couple of weeks practicing your pushups, they set the bar really low

and a bachelors in bullshit is enough to make it to officer, you don't need to be bright in the military, if that was true the world would be very different

Whatever you do, doesn't matter. Whether your life is shit or you are a rich alpha. True freedom does not depend on circumstances. Your being is fundamentally without fail. When you meet your maker, you will see him as your equal. Death doesn't matter. Your being is above death. Don't think, for one moment, that life has broken you. You are an ultimate warrior. Life and circumstances come and go, nothing remains. When nothing remains, you are free. Because you are not your body or your knowledge. They change and will die, but you are eternal.

That is true freedom, when you can see your life in ruins all around you and not be moved by it. Meaning of life means nothing, in the face of death, nothing remains. Meaning of life, success, failure, those are the chains that bind you to this world. They amount to nothing, your being is above and beyond them.

Take a look at your life as it is. It's fundamentally without flaw. Flaws come and go, nothing remains. That is your essence. Clear and luminous void. Once you see that your essence is void, you can't be moved by life and death. You tower above them. You are free.
