A True Story


Posts: 3246

Once upon a time, lived a man. Ardent, industrious, ambitious, this man was intent on making the most out of himself. He always did his best, was impeccable with his word, and dressed not for the job he had, but for the job he wanted to have.

This man was a real go-getter. He never made assumptions, didn't take anything personally, and kept his eye on the big picture—his future. Asked to work overtime, he did it with a smile. Given half an hour for lunch, he took 28 minutes. This man abstained from tobacco, didn't gamble, didn't drink, and never complimented his boss's wife's tits, for such activities would only obstruct the achievement of his goals.

One day this man met a woman, and he set about courting her. He wrote her poems. He picker her posies. Whenever he needed to fart, he would excuse himself out of doors under the pretense that he had to go chop more wood, and long before the forest was cleared, the man had married the woman.

Once the groundskeeper of the Jolly Bollocks Inn in 19th century Liverpool, this man eventually became the inn's manager, and later even bought the place. The inn, destroyed by a fire over 100 years ago, stood on a spot now occupied by an outmoded adult video store.

The man, one George Timmerman, is now dead, as are his three children, all of his grandchildren, and anyone who would remember him. The few people alive who've even heard of Mr. Timmerman couldn't force themselves to really care, and even if they did, they too soon will be dead and the sun is set to implode in 4 billion short years, so who gives a shit.

the point of life is obviously to enjoy life

nihilism is for people who are incapable of enjoying life because they spend all their time angsting about how pointless it is

hence all nihilists are faggots

A True Story

Everything that is temporary has only temporary meaning and holds temporary value. If nothing really has meaning or value it implies that nothing is important either. Things that used to be important are unimportant now, and in the end nothing matters. Like life and death... Humans fear death but so does an ant. The ant tries to evade death to the best of its ability, but will something bad happen to it when it dies? No, and in many ways it is better of, since all of its life was just toil and strife. We also want to live and see it as important, but could be life matters no more than a movie or a game. At least it's only temporary anyway.

I think and talk a lot about my past. To me it's important but perhaps to no one else. With time no one will remember an no one will know. Maybe it's like a good meal that is enjoyable for the moment but not very important when it's gone. Humans will one day by gone, long before the sun fades away. Animals will thrive then and nature will recover. Then comes another ice age and kills all of them. Where is the importance in that?

Life being pointless is the beauty of it though. It makes everything else appear to just be a construct of man.

Not all Nihilists are angsty whiners.

"The point of life is obviously to enjoy life" -- Well, you're being a little bit dogmatic right there. I don't disagree with it, nevertheless, I believe life's a matter of moral relativism. Everyone has different points of view and we all know what's best for us. 

Edit: Maybe some people might appreciate the beauty of pointlessness and absurdity. 

"Nihilism is for people who are incapable of enjoying life because they spend all their time angsting about how pointless it is" - Not necessarily. Nihilism and depression aren't interchangeable, from my point of view. 

"hence all nihilists are faggots" - Oh, my....
