Aging is a natural burden. Get over it and enjoy the strange gift before it’s done.

Reminder that penguin suicide has never been documented by any scientific study and Herzog likely faked this to make his film more interesting

You know this only makes it better, right?

Also suicide in the animal kingdom is a thing. But I am glad this penguin didn't died because of that if that's the case.

Time makes everything more beautiful.

Would you, knowing now you are immortal, cherish anything nearly as much- or even at all? Death is the great decider, and the greater valuer. Implicitly and not actually that is.

if you could be immortal but would have to suffer the night infinity of the death of the universe, would you?

Time is a flat circle. We are doomed to live this life again and again, forever repeating our mistakes, trapped. And there will be nothing new in it, as we can't remember out past lives, we cannot change our future.

No, it isn't.
The gift of life is for you to enjoy, or whatever. You are saying to live is to cope. You hate it all. Well, why such a coward? You believe in reincarnation? Leave it if you hate it so. Why are you here to make people miserable with your obstinate pessimism?

>> No.14769432

>>14769379
Then you must be living a life of constant dread.
The human mind can only be conscious of a tiny sliver of reality, everything else slowly descends into the black sea of oblivion. Think about this very moment, how many different things you are experiencing, how many different thoughts are rolling through you head each second - only to be utterly forgotten in the next one.

Ok, try to recollect you exact thought process while you were composing this >>14769572 post. Sheesh, I assure you that there is quite a number of details, discarded ideas, feelings and associations that you simply forgot. What sensations did you feel at that moment, which way were you sitting, and so on.

It's a poetic expression. In this universe we process time linearly, forwards. But imagine for a moment, an eternal entity looking in. From outside of our space-time, time wouldn't exist. It would see our world flattened, as a single sculpture. All that ever was, and ever will be, superimposed in one image. Our sentience cycling through our lives, like carts on a track.

To us, our world is a sphere. To an eternity looking in, it would be a circle.
