Why does life have to be so tragic?

We're all going to die, humans will be extinct and it's all for naught. Our little time on this rock is almost entirely anxiety and suffering, breaking only for a few dazzling moments of intensity, which fade away into the desert of memory.

Hug me /lit/, it's cold.

Yes but what did Socrates find?

He knew he was a monster, and never figured shit out.

And their plays aren't comforting.

But I know I can't be comforted, I just like pretending that there is comfort. I live inside a concrete box, so I just imagine what it's like to not be inside.

You're thinking outside your context.
"The Earth exploded and everyone died." is a bad novel.
Write a better one and live it.

Yeah but the earth exploded and everybody died is implied after the ending of every novel.

That IS the destiny for man.

Certainties are boring. Think about what is uncertain, instead.

The thing is, you think you have some duty to the "truth" (if it is the truth), when you really don't.

If you prioritize happiness and entertainment above the "cold hard truth", then the burden is lifted.

Inevitabilities are silly to worry about. Inevitabilities are the one thing you definitely DON'T have to worry about.

Speak for yourself bruh, I enjoy being alive. But then it seems like you're trying to write something that sounds good rather than something accurate anyway.

Diogenes worked it all out. So did Marcus Aurelius. You can read Marcus' diary anytime you want but Diogenes wasn't big on writing stuff down. To get a glimpse into his mind just observe the nearest dog for a few hours. When was the last time you saw a dog clogging up the /lit/ catalog with his stupid problems?

Why does life have to be so beautiful?

We're all alive, humans will probably never go extinct because we are too advanced and intelligent for that to happen and it's all for fun. Our little but sufficient time on this beautiful, fascinating rock is almost entirely peace and doing whatever the fuck we want, breaking only for a few shitty moments of sadness, which fade away into the desert of memory.

Hug me /lit/, it's warm.

To live is to die, but you don't live to die
