Suffering is the answer

[Anonymous No.18152643]

Do what is difficult, willingly. Run towards disaster and pain. Confront your fears. Life isn't to be lived in safety and comfort, but in the eye of the hurricane, that's where you find meaning.

Nice try Jordan Peterson. You're not fooling us.

There is no objective meaning, only subjective meaning. Nihilists can't handle this fact, that life has no objective meaning or value, so they cease to have direction, existentialists accept this fact, that there is no objective meaning, and in the absence of religion, the existentialist create his own meaning, and his gives his life a direction that he determines.

Religion is the illusion of purpose, determined by dogma, conformity, cowardice and stupidity. Existentialism, and willingly bearing the cross, is to actually give life purpose, if anything is real that is, and it requires will, conviction and the acceptance of suffering. Not to run and turn away from it, but to actively seek it and love it.

Eh that's not very nice sunshine.
>never experiences actual pain
Never experienced actual pain, listen here bucko, I drank one sip of cider eh, and I was up for 3 weeks, I had the worst depression of my life, I felt like death, THAT'S PAIN. Solzhenitsyn in the gulag, THAT'S pain. Christ on the cross, THAT's pain. I spent two decades of my life thinking NONSTOP about that pain bucko. Who are you to say otherwise eh?

You put one two many his there bucko. When I wrote maps of meaning, I wrote every line down 50 TIMES. No mistakes in that book.

This frame of mind is exactly what results in people working dead end jobs with the realization they will get nowhere.
Don't be like the decaying philosopher, but like Bruce Lee. Flow like water, bend around the rock, don't be broken against it.

How?

I believe the only way to get tougher in life is to confront your problems, not run away from them. That's what bending around the rock sounds like, running away.

Couldn’t disagree more. In fact, the one time that stands out when I think about seeking out something that was tough or I didn’t want to do, I only came to regret it immensely later.

You're wrong. You will suffer and you will like it or you will suffer and not like it.
