Testimonial - Well it seems that most of you "discordians" are little more than dupes of the Cathedral/NWO memetic apparatus after all -- "freethinkers" in the sense that you are willing to think slightly outside the designated boxes of correct thought, but not free in the sense that you reject the existence of the boxes and seek their destruction.

Ah, yes, the teenage existential crisis. I had one of those myself, about a year back.

You could try not trying to justify life at all. I really think human life quite insane and completely illogical, but that's the beauty of it. 7 billion little confused creatures floating on a rock asking the same question; "why?" Truth is, happiness and pleasure are actually completely unrelated to life and "the bigger picture", if I can call it that. In fact, life isn't yours at all, not as a birthright or anything. It's a gift that can be easily revoked. Neither is there any meaning to it, besides that we put into it by searching for meaning - which also happens to be ultimately superficial.

And yet, life finds a way. So let it justify itself. That isn't order or a grand plan, that's chaos at its finest - both a big joke and a serious work of art.

Fuck off Camo I'm going through something.

Sure the door of being a sissy guy and cross dressing could be fun for few months, but it'll get boring in a few months. Then what? Furry? Bestiality? sex trafficking? The list will run out eventually, I'velready done like 80% of most porn sites category lists.

What aboit sounding?

So, I got cheated on. Broke up with her, she said she would commit suicide, bitch never did it, but that's not my problem.
The problem is that she was my reason to life. Well, not completely, more my reason for not going into complete hedonism.

TRIGGER EXISTENTIAL CRISIS

The fuck do I do now? Maybe seeking new meaning excessively is me over compensating for learning the true face of love and human nature, but fuck it. I need meaning anyways. 

Nothing holding me back from doing anything I want. (except money) Hell, the first night after breaking up I realized I didn't have to be a big macho Dom anymore. I shaved my legs and went to a gay bar.  It was an alright night.
Sure the door of being a sissy guy and cross dressing could be fun for few months, but it'll get boring in a few months. Then what? Furry? Bestiality? sex trafficking? The list will run out eventually, I've already done like 80% of most porn sites category lists.
Even if I don't use sex to justify life. Do I pride myself over mastery of a subject? That seems as tangible as sex. I could learn all about physics or computers, but someone will always beat me. Even if I viewed them as my comrade I would still feel jealous of them. Even then, sciences move so fast that as soon as I discover something it just opens the door for people to top me. I'd get a month of gratification at best.
Everything else I don't care to do.

All pleasure if fleeting, but that makes it pleasure because with out the shit times the good times wouldn't be good. What do I do when I run out of pleasures that I can do legally? Or when I have no motivation to pursue pleasure?
Is pleasure even a good enough meaning to life?

Well, pleasure isn't a finite resource. You're just getting bored easily.

Attachment to pleasure can become a trap. Your ego is a tyrant; it deceives you into thinking that Ego is the entirety of the Self.

It'll have you running on the treadmill until you can no longer distinguish between rewards and motivation.

Like, sure, orgasms are good. We all want to feel good. But letting those impulses dictate all your behavior is how we get lost in the fog of Operant Conditioning. If you're not careful, you'll lose yourself in the never ending quest to consume pleasure.

Recommended meditation: give pleasure to others


The Wizard Joseph

Read all of Ecclesiastes ch 2 if you can find the time. As close a Solomon gets to nihilism.

Synopsis:
Wise & fool both= worm food, and so they are equals in value if not ability. Pleasure and sorrow are both empty because they're temporary, and so it goes.
Long term plans, even families are tragic and pointless because you'll be dead.  Enjoy the simple things you have in the moment because tomorrow is just as bad and you might not even see it.

I'm amazed he finished writing the thing, but you don't have to take my word for it.
You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Most of Ecclesiastes in fact, except the bits at the end where he starts backpedaling (wtf Ecclesiastes 7:28!? Eight lines ago nobody was righteous!)

You forgot about Solomon's vast nuclear arsenal and geopolitical ambitions.
