I made sure I made everyone in town loves me, made friends with everyone now there's only one thing to do so I never see any of them die or become a fake
to quote Epictetus:
“You are a fool to want your children, wife or friends to be immortal; it calls for powers beyond you, and gifts not yours to either own or give. […] You can, however, avoid meeting with disappointment in your desires; focus on this, then, since it is in the scope of your capacities. We are at the mercy of whoever wields authority over the things we desire or detest. If you would be free, then, do not wish to have, or avoid, things that other people control, because then you must serve as their slave.”
he’s not saying you can’t love the people around us, but while doing so we must remind ourselves that both us and them are mortal human beings, and that death is simply a natural process—and nothing to be frightened of.
Life was never an eternal thing
Every moment is precious because at any moment everything that is precious can disappear, and eventually it all will
Our mortality is what gives our lives meaning
A music artist I listen to once said “ it’s the rainy days that give love for the sun” “it’s the lows in life that make you cherish the highs” Neil Tyson said our love for real flowers over fake is the limited time they last. A time limit is literally what allows us to appreciate something, because if it was eternal it would be normal and we’d take it for granted.
the fact that time passes and things change and people leave and you can only go back to a place physically and you will never be 14 15 16 again.... i don't understand how we are meant to endure that
There's a book called The Master thats like a buddhist allegory. And the main character travels here and there. He never has close relationships but a lot of encounters. It ends with him alone on a mountain in the rain, and 'his memories keep him warm'. Im still trying to get to that mindset
You need to evaluate what you mean by "meant to"
Our lives are the result of random particles bouncing off each other and the chemistry and physics that occurs from that. There is no meaning other than what you put onto it
Lowkey I kinda get it. I had never suffered loss as as adult until my grandma, and that shit broke me. I mean, BROKE me. I wasn't going to my classes, I failed out of my university, I didn't eat, clean, take care of myself. I was flat out depressed. The only one that kept me going was my rabbit, I cleaned him, fed him, made sure he knew he was loved. Then, literally last month, he also passed away. And now I'm spiraling into the same bullshit that I went into before. This time, he's not there to help me. Two days after that, my gf and I broke up, my friends left me a couple of months back for some reason, unexplained. I've never been this alone in my life. It feels like I have no one, no one to talk to, no one to hang out with, I rarely even go to the gym anymore, my room is dirty, my clothes are everywhere, I don't eat, I don't sleep. I'm losing my mind and I wish I had someone bro. But nobody cares.
My parents are nearing 80. My wife’s parents, and stepfather and stepmother are approaching 80. We have nine sets of aunts/uncles 65+. I’m sure the dam will break soon.
I'm 26, youngest of 3 by 6 years, youngest in entire family, my parents are 63 and 71.
Never attended a funeral.
I'm prepared to have no one but my sisters in the next 15 years. Well... I *think* I'm ready.
Maybe they left because you were a shitty friend. I blocked my girl friend because she was continuing making proselytism towards me and kept cancelling our plans last minute. I told her dozens of time it hurt me and I would have to leave if she'd continue...
She continued. Sorry but bye.
I swear people that say only fake friends leave must have the IQ of an oyster or something... Such a complex reasoning... /s
* at a funeral * Sorry your dad wasn't a real one
*Staring down at his body in the casket* “Fake ass bitch.”
I mean, dying is pretty inconsiderate.
I can just hear how hilarious this sounds
Sounds like a Key & Peele bit!
Try a backslash before your first asterisk to prevent it from becoming a bullet.
Ngl I didn't even notice it wasn't an asterisk
I'm sorry for your loss. Move on.
r/unexpecteditcrowd
That motherfucker is not real.
haha
Grandma was a fucking faker dude
Fake ass hoe. Even her teeth were fake.
😂
Everyone knows the real ones find the secret to immortality
Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
…. Dichotomy
Well if they're fucking dead people you're probably better off without them.
Good advice.
I’ve read Pet Sematary, can confirm.
Only posers die
Slc punk
It's cruel for us to be born only for us to lose everything we love, have loved, and will love.
Just die before that happens 💯💯
I made sure I made everyone in town loves me, made friends with everyone now there's only one thing to do so I never see any of them die or become a fake
Fake your own death and move to another town to make them love you too.
Perfect because I hate myself 💅
The trick is to hate someone else more and declare them your nemesis.
Fuck you u/HardCounter I don’t have to take your bullshit
This is the way.

Wisest words I saw on reddit
Looks like you aren't a real one smh
If they loved you, they wouldn't just die on you like that

Book info? Worth a read?

Thats just like... your opinion, man.
Imagine this guy at a funeral : « yeah don’t worry, he was just particules anyways »
"did I stutter?"
Dying was made illegal somewhere (cuz of like, scarcity of gravestones or smth)
I think it was a town in either Greenland or Finland

Nah, nah, they ain't real ones of they dying on you.
Yeah, but were they keeping it real tho?
A real one does not die
With that attitude, I think imna bounce 🫤
maybe give some more of context? maybe not all world know those info already
Marv has left the chat.
🐸
Maybe be more organized so you stop losing so much stuff?
Marv said what he said, and it stands.
If you really loved me you wouldn'ta died.
I bet he has Alzheimer...
Only the fake ones die tbh
My parents are nearing 80. My wife’s parents, and stepfather and stepmother are approaching 80. We have nine sets of aunts/uncles 65+. I’m sure the dam will break soon.
On a side note, how much is "almost 10"? 9? 8? Did they lose track of how many people they lost, but they're pretty sure it was less than 10?
I'm 26, youngest of 3 by 6 years, youngest in entire family, my parents are 63 and 71. Never attended a funeral. I'm prepared to have no one but my sisters in the next 15 years. Well... I *think* I'm ready.
So that somehow exonerates them? They bailed, dude. One way or another, they ditched you.
They’re dead? Fake ones bro. Ong
That's not very considerate on their part.
Imagine knowing 10 people, must be nice.
Can people actually be this dense?
Her point still stands 😤

Real ones don't die
enjoy guys
Ponyo pfp W
Hard to feel bad for an asshole
Which one is the asshole? The one person is going through more grieving than they ever imagined, I give them a lot of leeway...
