“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be mad by those who could not hear the music.” -- Dancing and music is an analogy for feeling good and wanting to feel good, in my opinion.

Yeah, I gets down with the homies

as I keep growing older, I see the myriad of exponential amount of decisions that factor into my life trajectory. It seems like for every decision I make, an infinite number of choices and possibilities close while an equally infinite number open. how do my decisions and life have meaning and significance when the possibilities are so endless?

Dancing is usually a metaphor for loving. HTH.

If nothing has any meaning, then why would you long for death? Death means nothing, just like everything else.

The most true form of nihilism is to do nothing at all. No thinking, or even enjoying the feeling of your next breath as your body forces you to inhale.

we're all made of stardust and it's not a beautiful thing



It's actually pretty cool that everything is made up of the remnants of various parts of a functionally infinite (from our perspective) universe that will one day stop existing.

Literally everything will be gone eventually, except for maybe some poo poo that we don't know about and can't comprehend...but maybe that will end too. I don't think it makes it any less impressive though.

you remind me of the smart rear end 3rd graders i used to teach who would try to find little loopholes in everything teacher says to prove them wrong.

Sartre says meaning is created by what you do. I.e. if you yourself decide to go hike the AT or bike across the country then those things have meaning for you. Seems like a decent enough way to live.

Oh and be nice to people. It may be true that nothing matters but pain and suffering is real to the self, and there are 7 billion selves out there.

I can't say I really fear death. Obviously dying will suck and I still have a very human desire to avoid harm. Nothingness likely awaits and I'm cool with that. If it's something else, I'm cool with that, too. Like, hell? Why should I be afraid of it? It can't hurt me here and heaven holds no rewards in this life.
