Dream Song 14 By John Berryman Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so. After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns, we ourselves flash and yearn, and moreover my mother told me as a boy (repeatingly) ‘Ever to confess you’re bored means you have no Inner Resources.’ I conclude now I have no inner resources, because I am heavy bored. Peoples bore me, literature bores me, especially great literature, Henry bores me, with his plights & gripes as bad as achilles, who loves people and valiant art, which bores me. And the tranquil hills, & gin, look like a drag and somehow a dog has taken itself & its tail considerably away into mountains or sea or sky, leaving behind: me, wag.

ever lay down in the dark of night, close your eyes, and one second later open them to a bright and sunny world? I like to think that at death we close our eyes and one second later it's trillions of years into the future where all time and matter has broken down but I believe I'll just return to whatever i was during the 13.8 billion years between the big bang and 1989. here's a good video https://youtu.be/uD4izuDMUQA

But OP... I am Pagliacci. Try not to let it get you down. We don't know who we are or where we are going or what is going to happen to us when we get there, and that's perfectly okay, because we're a bunch of clever monkeys who would just gently caress everything up if we did suddenly know what was up. Have a Diet Dr. Thunder, smoke some weed, listen to some tunes. This too shall pass.

Ipso facto you don't exist so don't worry about it. Surrounded by two infinities of nothingness, we're living in the small sliver of time where we could be goons. How cool is that?

Ok op what you do is go on the net and hire someone to kill you. Now you're not paranoid about a vague existential threat but a specific actionable one since you will have to fight off an assassin at any moment. If you manage to kill them hire a new guy.

What is it about dentists and depression?? if you're actually a dentist that means you got your act together enough to go to college for a long time that means you're probably white and privileged, live in the US, you were able to get married All this poo poo I wasn't able to get my act together enough to do and I'm just going to try to fall in love one more time before the heart attack that kills me That's my meaning in life. I completely blew it no backsies. But I still have hope something better can happen to me than right now

Spinz posted:Piggy I see these threads of yours... :hug: Love the responses and some were truly wise and amazing. Yes I’m a dentist. First in my lineage to be a doctor of any kind. I’m not white and am in fact Mexican American who’s dad worked at Ma Bell which used to be a telephone company back in dinosaur time. My mom was a house wife who did her best to protect me and my siblings from a verbally abusive father. Went to USC and amassed a substantial student loan of about $350,000. Oh and I survived a widow maker heart attack where my heart stopped and had to be shocked back on. I was at the door step of eternity and it’s a truly scary thing to have a foot stepping in deaths door and successfully pulled it back out. All my thoughts are now broken up in my head as pre and post heart attack. Love you goons.

Piggy Smalls posted:I sometimes wonder if on my death bed I will long for those boring times in my life at work when I would wish time to pass by quickly so I could go home. How important those “boring” times were and not to be taken for granted. Death bed Piggy Smalls is not more important than present day Piggy Smalls. In fact, gently caress that guy. Your earlier moments are arguably more important than your last ones because they will leave longer memories and inform more of your life. Do whatever you want. No need to please some old dying rear end in a top hat.
