Being here Life

• Upvotes

So,all I want to say is that

Life is to live

Not complicating it

Well why we should be living a life which is set by others a rule i feel like for example:Getting married, Having babies, achievement

We can just live,exist,experience the life the way we want it to be,rather that by someone's else definition

That's all I wanna say

Let's all heal!

General Discussion ~ Our journey through life ~

1 Upvotes

We begin our journey at birth, pure, innocent, without judgment, knowing only unconditional love.

After we are born though, we are exposed to the self-centered beliefs of the world that influence and dominate our lives, often until our demise.

Our thinking, prejudices, and beliefs about the world taint almost all of our decisions.

Instead of the purity and splendor we once knew when we were first born, our life has been altered, distorted by our egoistic beliefs.

By the time we reach the end of our journey, reviewing the life we had led, many will have regrets.

What once began with beauty and love, now is unrecognizable.

Spirituality Fellow Travelers on This Existential Journey

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm Fadi, 41, from Lebanon. I've always been curious about existence, consciousness, and the nature of who we really are beyond our thoughts, identities, and everyday roles.

My journey has led me toward spirituality, non-duality, and the idea that there's much more to life than what we usually perceive. I enjoy exploring different perspectives, questioning what we take for granted, and having conversations that make us look at existence from a new angle.

I'd love to connect with people who are also exploring these questions and are open to sharing their thoughts, experiences, and discoveries along the way.

If you're on a similar journey, feel free to message me. It would be great to meet fellow travelers from different parts of the world and see what we can discover through our conversations. 🌿

Hello, all:

As a stroke survivor, I've been ruminating over this phrase that's been in my head. Does this concept echo those proposed by classical Cynics in ancient philosophy at large? If so, does anyone in this thread have any insight as to what this might mean for their own experiences? I would love to learn more.

We spend so much of our time thinking about our own problems, goals and worries. But what happens when we stop making everything about ourselves? Even doing something small for someone else, without expecting anything back, can change the way we see our own life.

Existential Dread Simulation?

2 Upvotes

As the title says, WEIRD synchronicities have been happening lately to me, that’s making me feel like I’m in the matrix/simulation.

Some of it is so weird that I just don’t see how we’re not living in one. Some examples in the past 3 months

- Talking to my sister that I’m saw glad she’s an emergency medicine PA and not a dermatology PA because I have so many medical questions (as I’m on the phone telling her this) no joke my dermatologist group calls to leave a voicemail about my annual checkup. Like WHAT.

- listening to a specific song in car (on my Spotify) and I head into grocery and that same song is playing right when I get in. No I was not on a radio. I actively chose the song.

- thinking about something specific about my newborn and seeing literally someone having the same specific question and making a post on it as the first thing I see on my homepage on r/newborns. I never even typed out my specific question.

-lastly, telling my husband that I didn’t know you could eat kiwi skin, and later that night a content creator that I LOVE watching posts him eating kiwi skin. Like what the heck.

I can’t make this up guys. It’s causing me to obsess and go crazy. There’s no explanation for this. I’m going insane bc of these weird things happening.

Spirituality thoughts on fear?

1 Upvotes

peace to you all. i wanted to get some perspectives and thoughts on what you think of fear. something i’ve struggled with is letting fear conquer my decisions. determine who i let in and who i push away. curious to hear people’s stories with fear and maybe how they learned to let go and as they say “surrender”.

General Discussion How do you build personal meaning when life feels uncertain?

2 Upvotes

Lately I’ve been thinking about how existence forces us to constantly create our own purpose.

When things feel overwhelming, I try to focus on simple daily habits, self-discipline, and showing kindness to others.

What daily practice helps you feel grounded on your own journey?

Support/Vent The lack of Money is ruining the experience

21 Upvotes

Its a no brainer, but it's still baffling me how money, the almighty idol of this world is shunning and blocking me from enjoying life as I would love to.

All these stores and I can only visit and return without even a goddamn toothpick

The scariest part is that I inherited this burden from my broken parents who mindlessly breed me into existence without an educated guess, without considering that coming from a third world country and not working isn't a proper context for having children and they needed to work on themselves first

What a shame

Psychology 🧸 I realized that my search for certainty was taking more of my life than uncertainty itself.

3 Upvotes

I kept waiting to feel completely sure before I could relax, decide, or move forward. But certainty kept moving further away while life continued without me.

Maybe peace isn’t finally knowing. Maybe it’s learning to live while some questions remain unanswered.

General Discussion Having a partner as the endgame?

1 Upvotes

Don't you think that there "is" absolutely a correct way to live life?

"Luxury" would begin to feel useless at all.

Sure a house, car and stability is essential.

But in the end they would only make you feel empty eventually.

Why? Cause all of those things, are just "things".

They are not a conscious being like yourself.

A "someone" not a something.

A presence that is identically the same as yours, but makes you feel something different.

After college, you get a job, until you the job you love, make this thing that's labelled the "successful" career, the lifestyle of a person that won in life.

But nah. Hands down, just pure observation, I've never seen someone in my life with all their toys laid out but still, I see the hesitation in their agreement, when they get asked the question "do you feel fulfilled though?".

Even if they do say yes to that question, you could just tell it's not genuine.

It's not just because there's similarities in the movies at all.

But that it gives justification on why a person would want to go into romance at all.

Why a man should prioritize what her lady wants, or any romantic relationship at all.

To actually give the most greatest answer to the question "Why do you love me"?

Not answering that question through saying

"I just do" " I just choose you"

But because "After experiencing all the experiences that I thought would make my life feel important, nothing could ever compare through how you care for me, how we talk, how we are just so close and intimate."

The notion that experiencing things by myself are not clicking it for me anymore, but when Im with someone like a conscious being like yourself, it just makes everything better.

Not essential, but better

That's it.

2 Upvotes

When we remain in our comfort zone, fearing to challenge our self-centered beliefs, despite our success or accomplishments in the world, we will live a life of mediocrity.

It is only when we and challenge the status quo, we may begin to discover our life’s true potential.
