Yes, be a good wagie, and endure! I can recommend "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson.

Marcus Aurelius

>When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own – not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me.

Why would you be positive? There is absolutely nothing positive about this world. I have long ago given in and have become a shell of hatred.

Guys, I have completely understood morality. In all its beauty.

However, what makes it real? That is, apart from biological imperative?

So in the Neoplatonic sense of the independence of the ground of the world in the possibility manifested by necessity of the good, an exterior construct, also obviously imminent in and as nature?

Also math is real, just for the living.

I suggest you look at old people who have worked all their lives , endured and in the end they have nothing, their bodies are ready to die and some of them still work because they have to. Many of those guys done the same thing, told themselves they will not give up their entire lives. And they didnt, at 70yo they still dream of "making it"

Inquisitiveness. Our freedom comes not from our ability to choose, but question ourselves and the world. Following the question mark will take you far.

>>14508167
Anon, the question of freedom isn't exactly relevant here but it does provide some valuable Heideggerian insights.

Why?

>>14508203
>Why?
Your assumptions are highly subjective and at best reflect your own current feelings.

History has said otherwise. Do you think Frederick the Great died with the feeling of nothing?

>>14508234
For every Frederick the Great there are 10 million lowly men who wageslave their entire lives. Most people are insignificant and achieve nothing in their lives, you can tell yourself you wont give how many time you want but if you werent born lucky you wont make it.

With all our own plot of land, we can do much.
