gourangaThu, Dec 27, 2007 I think it is good that you doubt, because one way or another you will find what's worth, when you reanalyze it and be happy for real next time it happens :) probably it is even impossible to miss the moment of clarity.
I had e wonderful conversation last night, the same example, almost the same subject. i have a relative who's a nihilist. as he points out, nihilism is impossible to describe with words, since words are positive and affirmative and this is exactly what nihilism is not. he says he was with his family on christmas some years ago and everybody on the table proposed a toast. he though, didn't raise his glass. they asked him to do it just for the moment, seems like they believe this matters. but he wouldn't do it, because he sees recognizes a scheme, like it is shallow and pointless. so everybody starts crying, he leaves the room and ruins everything.
Now what you do is almost the same, since you don't make it that bad, because you probably didn't fucked up everything and make somebody sad, instead of having a good time, enjoying. Seemed like he was right all the time we were talking, following a strong logic, although talking against people of ratiocination (???). seems like there is no point in doing anything in your life, since energy is never wasted, but still he goes everyday for the fridge, opens it, takes some food and eats it, just to support his body, so he stays here, wherever this is... saying that the river can't choose to stop, so does his body... now that was ridiculous... a shallow excuse - you don't find meaning in anything, but still continueing.
