Conquer Club

One thing that people tend to realize is that they wasted a lot of time when life seemed normal. It's not about what they did with their time, it's just that they cared about the wrong things. They regret that their attention was wrapped up in petty distractions, year after year.

We all know this is coming. We all know that there is going to come a day when you'll be sick, or someone close to you dies, and you'll look back on the kinds of things that captured your attention.

It is always now. No matter how much you feel like need to plan for the future or mitigate risks, the reality of your life is now. Our conscious awareness in some sense is already a memory. But in a matter of conscious experience, the reality of your life is always now. The past is a memory that's a thought arising in the present. The future is merely anticipated and is another thought arising now.

All we truly have is this moment, and we spend most of your lives forgetting this truth, fleeing it or overlooking it, and the horror is that we succeed. We are never able to connect to the present moment and find fulfillment there, because we are continually hoping to become happy in the future, and the future never arrives. Even when we think we're in the present moment, we are in very subtle ways looking over its shoulder aniticpating what's coming next, always problem solving. It's possible to simply drop your problems if only for a moment, and enjoy whatever is true in your life in the present. There are more connections within a cubic inch of our brains that stars in our galaxy, and yet our inner experience offers us absolutely no clue. We are subjectedly unaware of most of what our minds are doing, and yet when we think about what matters, what matters is consciousness in it's contents. Consciousness is everything. Our experience of the world, of those we care about, is a matter of consciousness in it's contents. The most important question for us is how can we truly be fulfilled in this life? How can we create lives that are truly worth living?

The frame we put around the present moment is important and largely determines our experience of it, but it seems possible in fact that we can experience life without an obvious frame. To pay attention to the present closely enough that you're not doing anything to it. Whatever you can possibly notice, in your head, your mind, in the world, there is only one place is can appear, and that's in your conscious experience.

I'm not saying that all we are is a dream, but it's like a dream in a neurological matter. It is a dream that is restrained by inputs from the external world, and the dreams we have at night are not constrained by the external world. Your mind is all you have, it's all you have to offer other people. We are all trying to find a path back to the present moment and good enough reasoning to just be happier. If you're constantly looming about what you just did or what you could have done or what you would have done if only you had the chance, you will miss your life. You'll fail to connect with it. You'll fail to connect with other people, being the mere hostage of the next thought that races into consciousness isn't useful to you.

So, if there is an antidote for the fear of death, or the experience of loss, it's compatible with reason, and I think it's to be found here. The purpose of life is pretty obvious. Why do we create culture and form relationships, if all that matters is mere survival? We are constantly trying to create and repair a world that our minds want to be in.

It's antecipation that makes the butterflies go crazy in your belly and it's the cherished memories that make you want more.

The capacity of writing and reviving the past it's like being a collector of antiquities, we contemplate a beauutiful collection of coins, always looking forward to get the one that is missing, and it gives you great deal of excitement. and it's great to collect memories as well.

In life it's good when you can keep looking forward to make more history, antecipating more happinnes, living it and reliving it as you remember. And repeating.

The problems starts when you can't repeat it, euther because something went wrong or time caught up on you, it breaks that glorious cycle and now you have to rethink a lot of stuff. And the memories haunt you because you no longer feel the excitement of antecipation but the painful anguish of being able to remember but not repeat it.

What can you do when it's in your nature to remember, when remembering is a crucial part of your happiness? It's not just that simple to erase the past. Memory is what makes people unique.

But I understand you. looming about misfortunes is an hindrance, happiness constantly delayed and restricted by one thought. And the better tomorrow never comes, like waiting for a lottery number.

Sounds like a lot of blabla for what is perfectly obvious to everybody already.

serious question: Are you a hippie?

I'm reactionarian (opposite of libertarian and fierce anti-LGBT and anti-feminist for your information) and even if he was a hippie, to me he sounds like a reasonable person with whom you can have interesting debates.

He doesn't sound juvenile or wearing weeaboo images that would trigger homicidal instincts in Jesus MF'king Christ.

Hah, well done! But seriously, you really need a tad bit of a mature answer to appeal beyond an echo chamber.

Sadly, QED.

Symmetry, why do you waste your life dwelling in a semi-abandoned Risk forum and obsessively shitquoting every new post you don't like across random threads. Are you an internet social justice attorney?

People live 40 million minutes on average. Do something productive for yourself.

Huh, that's an Interesting take. I pointed out your idiocy during my free time.

It's basically charity toward the misinformed.

Looks like you have nothing to contribute to society, except telling others to stop wasting their time here at CC.

....so, you like wasting your time here or are you being obsessive over every post that Symmetry does and why are you dwelling on Symmetry? Sounds pretty sick and scary to me.

What's wrong with wasting time on CC?

wtf does QED stand for?

riskllama wrote:wtf does QED stand for?

Sorry, it stands for quod erat demonstandum, Latin for "that which was to be proved".

It's now used as "QED" at the end of proofs of arguments, especially in maths and physics. I used it obliquely, in the rhetorical sense. That the reply proved my argument.

Wrong symturd you got in such a rush to show your smart you got it wrong, if you don't know do something new read
It actually means that which was demonstrated
Thus demonstrandum

There tend to be multiple accepted translations when translating Latin, yours and mine are functionally the same.

Mine is not wrong. Sorry

Indeed, but give Gordon a break, he really hates me and he thought he caught a break. That literate posters called him out too, might annoy him.

yeah, i knew what it meant. was just seeing if YOU knew...

Wrong again symturd, nice try.
QED
Q UOD
ERAT
DEMONSTRANDUM

You didn't say
QEP

therefore your argument that they are the same is as ignorant as you have so blithely proven to be over and over again. I gave you a chance to save some of what little dignity you may have yet you showed your character and proceeded with your incorrect argument not knowing what opportunity was in front of you

So
FuQ symturd

Got side tracked by the insignificant troll turd

This post and UCA's post shows real empathy, something the symturd seems for whatever reason to not like,and to attack, maybe because his father doesn't like gay people and the turd is afraid to come out to him, so he acts out and attacks people that his father would,as a way to ease his own conscience, for being such a disappointment to daddy
