4 days agoBrother, I’ve pondered about the thought of ending it all, and I have realized that it isn’t the solution. Not because you have so much to live for, but because death has nothing that life cannot offer. Death is the absolute negation of everything, it is absolute nothingness. There are no pros and cons when it comes to absolute nothingness.
You sound like a person in his college years. My suggestion, for now, do what you must, stay in college, and study. Once you are out of college, try and get a job (this might take really long and might a depressing period, given the current job market), and move the fuck out.
I am sorry for that. I was very depressed in college too, but somehow managed to graduate.
That is not true. Given the very limited inputs we have been fed, we may conclude that we do not have any future. But, I think there are possibilities that we have just not envisioned that might open up.
About the “wage slavery like everyone else”, do you have any hopes and dreams that you want to work towards? If you do, go for them. If not, it’s okay doing a normal job too. Often times, in life, we do not get what we want. If you have the resources (time and energy) to try and acheive your dreams, definitely go for it. But, if you do not, it is okay to just be normal and do a normal job. Not everyone has the fortune to rise to the top.
I myself work at a job that I always tried to avoid. I knew I’d be good at this job, but I did not want to do it, because I wanted to do something more interesting. Due to several factors, I wasn’t able to go after what I wanted, and instead have come to terms with my current job. I just keep telling myself I will do the stuff I wanted after I have achieved financial stability thanks to this job (may be in my 40s, I dunno).
Can you get to a therapist? They can help you a bit with depression. Regarding family support, again, I am sorry for what you are going through. I too didn’t have proper family support when I was in college (along with severe depression), and it was really hard to get through everything. I managed to graduate, move away, and be alone; which helped a bit with my mental state.
I don’t think becoming “a corrupt politician” is as easy. :D
No offense, man, but this is complete bullshit. Quotes like this are better suited for movies. Reality, morality and humanity are often more complicated. And death is not an answer, because it offers you nothing that life doesn’t.
Becoming a shitty person isn’t easy, and I do not think it is a flick of a switch.
Cruelty of the world doesn’t need to get to you. You do not need to lose your morality to adhere to some of the negativities in this world. Sure, you do what you need to do to survive; sometimes, it may be unethical (try to avoid if you can), but it doesn’t make you immoral altogether.
