Does anyone sometimes feel a very deep sense of love and grief and devastation and beauty for fleeting and living life and it is so powerful and neutralising and it manifests physically and it makes you submit to everything bad and good in the world, its the closest thing to religious experiences ive ever had. And you dont even care anymore but you do care because in turn of feeling this amazing feeling i wonder how much of a fool I must sound to those that have suffered and are suffering. Im not a total ignorant bastard screaming âlook at the moon bruhâ but essentially I am lol. I have two questions.
Does anyone else experience this feeling?
i have always wanted to seek people that feel this but of course i sound like a corny mania maniac whenever i try to explain lol
Is âloving lifeâ selfish, or rather ignorant to those suffering? Or is it selfish/ignorant without action towards alleviating suffering? (However that may be)
In my opinion it is just logically yes. Iâm not guilty and i blame no one, but maybe it is our responsibility, or maybe those that feel this way
It is intrinsically selfish akin to how the âpowerfulâŚamazingâŚreligious experienceâ feeling coveted by a heroin addict is intrinsically selfish.
I have a strange feeling too. I recently watched a film by Andrei Tarkovsky, and his films touch on this âfailure yet transcendenceâ of love. Failure in the sense that we never fully process, express and understand our feelings, yet transcendence in the way that love still exists. It persists beyond death, reality, and understanding. Just amongst the whispers of time that continues to flow. Sorry I donât know itâs a bit abstract.
That is so profound, what film was it? No need to say sorry, i understand you im pretty sure. True Love in all its forms is such innocence..How did this feeling feel?
(Said this in a diff therad but) To give more context i ask if you would eat infront of someone starving?You would have no urge to help them whatsoever naturally? And you would not want to be fed, if you were starving?
If I stood on my high pillar of love and screamed âguys, this life is beautiful im transcendingâ, the fact is that not everyone feels this way, or life has given them more than enough grief they can handle. Maybe theyâll say âwhat about the kids sold off to slaveryâ And their perspective is⌠CORRECT! Its no more correct nor wrong than mine. So this is a dispute. The only way to solve said dispute is to eliminate or help eliminate suffering.
Youâve completely missed the point. Evidently I needed to add a âfull stopâ at the end of my previous post. The key phrase being âintrinsically selfishâ. Have a think on it.
I donât know anymore, I think Iâve gotten used to it. But at the start it was just clarity, very unexpected. I didnât know what to do with it, so I just wrote, and wrote, and wrote.
I realised, that as long as I can retain that clarity, then I really have everything I need, no matter what happens.
WeSee i did get your point but i think your metaphor was a bit off centre. the one i replied with, i think is what im trying to ask/point out. Yes that love can lead to inner âharmâ but i am wondering about outer.
Victor, Yes, my reply was the one about starving people. It relates because you ask: who would care what i think? I say many do, Those starving care about those with food, or those who possess the power to feed. The same can be said for those suffering, and those who see love through suffering. My bad though, that reply does seem to have a tone, i didnt mean it whatsoever
Your OP was about how much YOU enjoy life and whether or not that was selfish. Save your virtue-signalling for the gullible morons who fall for that garbage.
And I answered it. Then you started virtue-signalling about the obligatory âstarving peopleâ. Do you actually believe you make sense? Iâm sorry for you then. Perhaps a different med would help.
Sweetheart its called a metaphor, I even pointed out it was a metaphor. Because starving is a pretty good example of âthose that sufferâ dont ya think..? Emo shit
