1. Whats something you want everyone to have in the world?

Love, food, warmth, freedom I mean actual freedom and a roof over their heads.

 

2. How would you end all wars?

Erase such thing as money. because that is the one and only thing that causes wars and hate.

 

3. Whats your favorite animal?

Hmmmmmm, cats and pandas and raptors and dogs and basically anything thats fluffly.

 

4. Whats your favorite vehicle?

Always wanted a mustang :)

 

5. How do you deal with sadness?

Umm I usually cry, get stoned and talk to my girlfriend or friends about it until it gets better.

 

6. Would you help someone on AF if they were depressed?

Yes, absolutely that isn't even a question.

 

7. Whats your hobby's?

I have none to be honest that's what makes my life rather boring.

Gaming, anime , going out with friends is pretty much all i do.

 

8. Who's got it harder men or women?

Both do, nor men nor women get it harder imo. There are downsides and upsides to everything.

 

9. Whats the best joke you have ever heard?

xD " How many babies does it take to paint a wall"

"Idk how many? "

" Well it depends how hard you throw them"

 

annnnnnnd

 

Dad walks into the room and sees his son who's meant to be studying doing nothing so he asks

" son why are you not studying?"

Son answers " Well I don't want to "

Dad " You should so you can get a good job"

Son " Good job and then what"

Dad " you can earn daily bread and buy a nice car !"

Son " And then what ?"

Dad " You can do nothing"

Son " Well dad, I am already doing NOTHING"

1. Whats something you want everyone to have in the world?

 

Possibility to visit the school - Education. Being capable of living a decent life.

 

2. How would you end all wars?

 

This is a tough question!

 

Once a wise man said "Only the dead have seen the end of the war" I need to survive long enough to prove the opposite.

What would i do to stop all wars? I cannot, only WE can - The Mankind. A single piece cannot change a whole, only all pieces together can do.

 

3. Whats your favorite animal?

 

I don't have any favorite animals tbh, but i like cats and crow. I like a fw others but i dont consider them as worthy to be mentioned here.

 

4. Whats your favorite vehicle?

 

Golf gti 7

 

5. How do you deal with sadness?

 

Reading a book. Find a preoccupation in order to forget my sadness and do something which keeps me busy for awhile. Watching animes.

 

6. Would you help someone on AF if they were depressed?

 

It depends, i'm not really close to anybody here. They might do not want me to help them, which i think is fair enough. But overall, i would help of course.

 

7. Whats your hobby's?

 

repair/maintain electric devices, watching animes, mostly going out with friends and playing soccer.

 

8. Who's got it harder men or women?

 

The pain at every birth - women got it harder.

 

9. Whats the best joke you have ever heard?

 

Laziness is the mother of all bad habits but ultimately she is a mother and we should respect her. ~ Shikamaru (Naruto)

 

10. *Your own fact about yourself*

 

I'm almost 19 years old but people guess me 25.

1. Condom

 

2.Dye my hair orange, become president of the United States, form a global government with the appropriate checks and balances to make sure it does not go awry, Kill Kim Jon Un and other dictators, invade during the political unrest, set up governments there and leave people behind until the country can transition into democracy, silently inform the culture there of western values while doing the utmost to respect theirs, foster free thought, and then figure out a way to deal with all of the misery modern western society brings, perhaps by fostering and emphasizing the need for local traditions and customs to remain mostly unchanged.

 

3. Wolf

 

4. Motorcycle, even though I've never been on one, a guy can dream can't he?

 

5. Porn, punch walls and things, play my guitar, watch TV, wait for it to go away, if it's really bad scream into a pillow and beat the shit out of the sofa.

 

6. I would try and fail as I have nothing to offer, no knowledge or anything else that could help them, in the end only they can help themselves. Or maybe someone else.

 

7. I am a beginner at guitar, I lift weights, I take boxing lessons and generally like martial arts

 

8. No idea, my mother was never around much when I was growing up for a number of reasons and I have never had any close female relationships. So, you could say I know nothing about women. However, given the fact that many many women are sexually abused as children, raped, assaulted, shamed for having a sexuality, denied equal pay and in less civilized places in the world not even seen as human, I'll go with women. That doesn't mean I'm not afraid of them like caged tigers mind you, especially when they're in loud groups, I know how to handle men, women on the other hand mystify me.

 

9. Louis C.K's bit on hating deers.

 

10. Uhhh, I took Biotech in college.

So here goes:

 

1. Whats something you want everyone to have in the world? - Respect and Civility. Open-mindedness to other cultures, races and beliefs. Oh and common freakin' sense.

 

2. How would you end all wars?- Weed would probably help, but I also believe that ridding the world of most major religions would certainly put a big dent in a lot of wars and stupid squabbles.

 

3. Whats your favorite animal? Dragon. If you want to go more conventional, I'd say Snakes, Lions and Horses

 

4. Whats your favorite vehicle? - '67 Chevy Impala, or a 76-80's Dodge Challenger

 

5. How do you deal with sadness? - I draw, and/or spend time with my husband. We adore watching the Hobbit together, or reading it together, so that certainly helps. I am also prone to a strong whiskey when sad.

 

6. Would you help someone on AF if they were depressed? - I would certainly do my best, we have all been there, and as someone who was once suicidal I can tell you that I have experienced big downers. Still do from time to time.

 

7. Whats your hobby's? - I draw actually. That and Role-Play.

 

8. Who's got it harder men or women? - Everyone has it hard in different ways and different levels. But I feel this questions has the potential to go too far, too fast. So I'll just leave it at that.

 

9. Whats the best joke you have ever heard? - Well, it's not the best joke, but it's the first one that comes to mind: "Jesus Christ walks into hotel, hand's the Innkeeper three nails and says, "Can you put me up for the night?"

 

10. *Your own fact about yourself*- Depends, in what area of my life do you want a fact from? Intimate? Hobby? Achievements? I think I'll go with 'silly childhood dreams that will never come true." So my first is, I have always wanted to see Outer Space, and secondly, I want to pet and ride a T-Rex.

1. Whats something you want everyone to have in the world?

The knowledge that life is worthless and that we as human beings shouldn't be so selfish.

 

2. How would you end all wars?

What can one person do against a world of war and hate?

Changing peoples perspective on life isn't easy, most people would rather die than bow to someone else's orders.

 

3. Whats your favorite animal?

A wolf, definitely. I absolutely love 'em.

 

4. Whats your favorite vehicle?

Eh, I'm not really sure ... I guess I'd go with a motorcycle though since I love how sleek and beautiful they look.

 

5. How do you deal with sadness?

I usually just block out my thoughts with music ...

 

6. Would you help someone on AF if they were depressed?

Of course, although I'm not sure how much I could help ...

 

7. Whats your hobby's?

Writing, day dreaming, a bit of drawing although I'm no good at it.

 

8. Who's got it harder men or women?

I never take sides on this question, who can really be sure?

 

9. Whats the best joke you have ever heard?

Pretty much any joke my Onii-chan makes ... He has the same sick, twisted sense of humour I do so it works out quiet well.

 

10. *Your own fact about yourself*

I've wanted to be an actress ever since I was a young child, although I've never got the chance to get any experience in that field of work ...

People make war and kill each other because they are human, not because of religion. Because they are greedy, hateful, misfortunate or afraid. Religion is just one of many excuses used to cover up war, you get rid of it and I'm sure they'd just find another one. If the world only had one government, and nationalism wasn't a thing war in the traditional sense might end, but I have no doubt there would still be conflict and radical groups and things like that. It's human nature.

I would hesitate to define life as worthless, in an objective sense, it can be said that nothing has value, however, I am of the belief that we create our own meaning. We create and define the meaning of our own lives, for, without a god, we are the only ones who can give anything meaning. On the other side of that, you say life is worthless, worthless compared to what? That's nothing more than a subjective evaluation of it, a sort of bias. You would think that if anything were to have worth, it would be the life of one of the most intelligent and powerful species on this planet and perhaps even in the universe. The only thing that can have any value is life, because it is all that is, the other side of it is nothingness.

@existentiallylostdumbell The human world is made up of experiences and decisions, yet what difference do our decisions make? Do they alter anything? If so, is what they altered important? Most of us live boring lives, just surviving on the daily routine of work and sleep, where does worth fit into the robot like lifestyle we all live?

I may sound cynical and that I am, but perhaps it's something beyond that ... Knowledge leads to cynical thinking, because once we uncover new knowledge it leads to seeing the dark, twisted, cynical life that all humans live.

Even those who appear to over come the boring lifestyle of the civilians who live just like us, never really make a change ... The leaders of our countries always end up forgetting those promises they made during their campaigns, why? Because we're not used to change. Humans are used to routine, having our hopes let down, dying for a country that will never change, and living a meaningless life where all our decisions and experiences mean absolutely nothing in the long run, we all just live and die ... We never truly impact anything, even those who loved us, or respect us, even those who hate us, what does our existence mean to them? We're just another human, another cog in the machine, when we die will they remember us? Probably, but what good does that do? Will they go on to change the world in a way that without your impact they wouldn't have? No. They probably won't even impact the world in any way, other than leaving a memory of themselves with yet another human who will just continue the cycle of their robotic like, meaningless, unchanging life.

 

So, I still see human life as meaningless ... My definition of worthless in my previous post just means that us as humans never do anything worth knowing. Take a look at your life, could you write a book that would keep the readers on the edge of their seats that is based purely of the events of your life? What about a book that made people rethink everything they knew? What about one that would change their lives even just slightly?

Think.

Just think for one moment, is their a single event in your life that has changed anything? Anything important, not just the way another human views you ... Yes? No? If so, what was it? How much of an impact did it have on this world? If no, do you think you could ever make such an impact?

 

Now, I know I sound very cynical and just down right depressing but knowledge is a curse.

Knowing just how dark and pointless life is something most people are, and wish to stay, ignorant to.

I'll get back to you, but I have a rule where I can't stay on after 9:45, it's 9:50, g'night.

1. Whats something you want everyone to have in the world?[/Quote]

 

A good laugh, because things can be pretty stressful sometimes, and is the easiest thing to give, as long as you know what can make the person laugh.

 

2. How would you end all wars?[/Quote]

 

I would develop an antimatter bomb and set them off everywhere.:D

 

Seriously though, I would not end all wars. It is not that I do not care about lives being lost, since I hate thinking about how even the dying suffer, but more because humans are greedy, apathetic, and irrational in general, and trying to end all wars would means having to fix all three of those problems.

 

3. Whats your favorite animal?[/Quote]

 

I kind of like dogs, but I am not really an animal person, as that takes away from my quiet moments.

 

4. Whats your favorite vehicle?[/Quote]

 

My own feet. Do you even have to ask? If I take any vehicles, that means I spend less time increasing my stamina, and that would only make things worse.

 

5. How do you deal with sadness?[/Quote]

 

I usually cry it out or listen to an OST, such as that from Clannad or Narcissu.

 

6. Would you help someone on AF if they were depressed?[/Quote]

 

While I would like to help everyone that I can, I do not think that I would, because I hardly know the people here well enough, except for who I can joke around with, and it would be hard for me to actually help them, even if I wanted to.

 

All I can do here is just provide a listening ear for whoever needs it.

 

7. Whats your hobby's?[/Quote]

 

Drawing (considered sharing my art here, but not too confident about it), reading, playing games, messing around on my computer, and bowling.

 

8. Who's got it harder men or women?[/Quote]

 

I think it is about the same. Men have issues that women do not need to deal with, and the same is true in the reverse.

 

Thinking that either men or women have it harder is forgetting that we are actually fairly similar and experience some of the same problems.

 

9. Whats the best joke you have ever heard?[/Quote]

 

Cannot really think of a particular joke that I would consider funny, or that I could share here (I would probably have to ask Kirry about it), but I can think of a few movie scenes and sketches had me laughing.

 

10. *Your own fact about yourself*

 

I have earned a 98% overall in a college course, and the teacher said that my analysis were quite in depth toward the end.

1. Whats something you want everyone to have in the world?

Naturally good health. Barring that - a place to call home.

 

2. How would you end all wars?

I don't think it's possible. Even if I could possibly even consider meeting the needs of everyone I'm certain there are people who just lust for war - I suppose if we gave them a place to unleash their anger they would leave the peaceful folk alone, but for some they might only be satisfied fighting peaceful folk.

 

3. Whats your favorite animal?

Foxes

 

4. Whats your favorite vehicle?

2005 Mustang Convertible

 

5. How do you deal with sadness?

I take a walk or do some chores. Something physical.

 

6. Would you help someone on AF if they were depressed?

I would certainly try. Anyone feeling depressed can feel free to message me any time.

 

7. Whats your hobby's?

Gaming, cooking, cleaning, hiking/walking, exploring

 

8. Who's got it harder men or women?

I think men for sure. I think a good life for a man is better than a good life for a woman, but I think if women fall on hard times they have an easier time getting help to get out of it while men do not.

 

9. Whats the best joke you have ever heard?

Why don't red heads ever date? Because everyone would think they're siblings!

 

10. *Your own fact about yourself*

I proposed to my husband!

The exceptional are called that for a reason, if your sole metric for meaning is being better than others or being someone who changes the world, that is arrogance. To answer your question, no I do not think my life has had a major impact on this world. But you don't have to be Einstein or Stephen Hawking to make a difference in people's lives. There's a famous quote, one that everyone seems to like, however it is one I disagree with, it goes:"Be in this world, but not of it". What that quote fails to take into account is that we are all of this world as much as it is of us. It is impossible to separate ourselves from the world, with every waking moment every thought we have, every action we make we shape the world around us. Similarly, everything we witness, everything we experience, even in this moment, shapes who we are. We cannot think of a thing unless we have seen it, something similar, or things which make it up.

 

Everything we do and think impacts the world in some way, take for instance the reason I started lifting: One day during my first year of college, I met a girl I knew from highschool, she was busty and hot af, she told me I was hot. That was around the time I had inexplicably developed panic attacks and extreme fear of people, so all I did was nod. However, after she told me that, I started doing pushups in the hallway, then sit-ups and so on. Eventually, after making myself exercise this way, I started going to the gym, I've been lifting 2 and a half years since then, and I've gotten stronger. Lifting was and is important for me, because it was the one thing in my control, it was an area in my life I could improve in and do only for myself. More importantly, I believe it played a big role in overcoming my newly developed people phobia, along with meditation, something I need to pick up again. Am exceptional? no, was she? no, but all it took was a few words from her to alter my life.

 

Now you've said that we humans never do anything worth knowing, what metric are you basing that on? Societies? Why does it matter whether what we do is important in the eyes of the world? Society is merely a collection of people, all of them the same living, breathing, shitting humans we are. Whether what we do is popular or not is really irrelevant. Who defines what is important anyhow? I think that what matters is that the things we do are important to us, not anyone else, not for anyone else, even if it is an act kindness. We are the only ones in our lives who can decide what is worthwhile and what isn't; what is worth knowing and what isn't. Living to be remembered, to be important is incredibly foolish anyhow, regardless of how many millions you save or kill, we are nothing more than a speck in the universe. No matter how mighty a man is, he is still an ant. He cannot hope to do something worth knowing in the eyes of the universe, as the universe is indifferent and importance is all relative anyhow. Does that mean his strivings aren't important? No, it certainly does not, they are important to him and maybe even some of the ants around him, and that is enough. That is more than enough reason to continue his tiny existence, and it's the only reason he will ever find.

 

One more thing, if you believe that life is worthless, you will live the life of someone who thinks that life is worthless. Your thoughts and so your actions and so the world around you, will be that of someone who believes that life is worthless. I cannot afford to believe that life is worthless, and maybe I'm wrong, maybe it is worthless, but if I have to choose between hope and despair, I think hope is the better option.

@existentiallylostdumbell Hope is just ignorance to the facts around us ... It's basing everything off dreams, off aspirations, instead of taking in the horrible facts that surround us each and every day.

 

Now, as I mentioned before, humans impact humans. We may change one another's views on society, on friendship, or even just on what to eat for dinner, but here is my question, once again ... Does it really matter what we, as humans, do with our lives? Tell me, what purpose do we have? Are we meant to just live, die, and then fade into the abyss? Are we meant to change the world, or maybe make sure it stays the same? Are we just wandering a earth that just so happened to form from nothing during the evolution? Why do we matter more than animals if we both just evolved? Do humans even understand the concept of life? Is so, how do they think we all just happened to become the living, breathing, thinking, creatures we are today? Questions need answers, answers based of facts, logic, and the knowledge that hope has nothing to do with anything ... It hinders our out look on the world and keeps us in the cage that we call life because we want to feel like life is worth everything, like humans are good creatures (Which they most definitely are not), our sense of hope is just a crutch that makes us feel like we can do anything ... A lot of non-religious people say they have hope, that they have faith, that humans are good people, but in reality ... Humans are never good. Some may strive to be better than others, some may be as good as they can, but no one is truly good.

 

To answer the first line of your reply: My reason for living is not to be better than anyone, but to change the world? If I could do so, I would. That is quiet a stretch though and I know that, I know my whole argument about changing the world is virtually impossible for almost anyone but, that is exactly why I made that point. Humans have no purpose other than to live, die, and make it to the after life.

I myself am a religious person, and find that human life is just the pre-game before the actual meaningful life.

Your response was quiet like I was expecting, trying to show that humans don't have to impact the world they just have to impact one another. So ... All we can really hope to do is impact someone who will then just die same as us? What is the point? Why would we even be here if we were just meant to die? The only purpose we have is to impact others, but not with just a nice remark, or even with a friendship ... We're meant to save others, to lead them to the truth. Religion is the only thing that gives life meaning, without it we'd all just be "evolved" creatures that slightly impacted others before dying off ... I don't see the worth in that.

@existentiallylostdumbell Hope is just ignorance to the facts around us ... It's basing everything off dreams, off aspirations, instead of taking in the horrible facts that surround us each and every day.

I haven't read all of your conversation but I wanted to chime in my two cents. I'm not religious but I believe the universe is "god" and that we are all the universe experiencing itself. I don't think anyone has a purpose than to experience the life they have. That goes for all creatures.

 

Of course that's just the way I look at things.

Love the deep convos going on.

 

1. Whats something you want everyone to have in the world? Happiness.

 

2. How would you end all wars? Stop starting them.

 

3. Whats your favorite animal? Dogs!

 

4. Whats your favorite vehicle? Jeep Wrangler

 

5. How do you deal with sadness? In a variety of ways. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I talk to others. Ultimately I try to rationalize my thoughts and attempt to gain a deeper understanding of my sadness.

 

6. Would you help someone on AF if they were depressed? I would try when I could, but unfortunately I do not get on AF as much anymore due to time conflicts. I also believe that the root of many people's depression issues is an inability to love themselves, which ultimately they have to work through themselves. I have had to go through this and would love to help anyone who wants to know how.

 

7. Whats your hobby's? Writing, watching anime (duh), doing outdoorsy stuff.

 

8. Who's got it harder men or women? Gender is not a very good way to divide things. Men and women in India have it harder than men and women in, say, America. Women have it worse than men in some locations, and better than men in other locations. This question is far too open ended and I can not answer without more data.

 

9. Whats the best joke you have ever heard? Nate the Snake. You can find it at:

http://natethesnake.com/

 

10. *Your own fact about yourself* I work a lot and wish I had more time for my hobbies and to talk to friends. I'm an ENTP type personality. I love my family and friends.

@ItsSammy

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that in comparison to the meaning we find in the afterlife, the only meaningful thing we can do is something as grandiose as changing the world. Look around you then, all of the technology and social progress that has occurred sits on the backs of great people, people who changed the world. Every day we change the world a great deal, we are collectively on the brink of making this world uninhabitable for the sake of industry. However, nothing we have achieved up until this point would have been possible without the efforts of many different people including those worker bees. Henry Woodward may have been the inventor of the light bulb, but without the efforts of Thomas Edison, and all of the factory workers of today, we would not have light bulbs. What you seem to be having difficulty with then is not existence itself, but your existence. The fact that you are not someone who has "changed the world", yet. I understand, sometimes I used to think to myself that the adult world was full of nothing but miserable fucks, slaving away purposelessly every day. Now I think that the world is full of lost people, who don't really know alot more about life and it's purpose than I do, but like to pretend they do.

 

As a religious person, I'm sure you believe your God had a purpose when he made this world and you, so saying the act of existence is worthless is contradictory. You've asked me what we as humans are meant to do, and my answer to that question is "fuck if I know", I don't believe in fate to begin with. It seems to me that you have difficulty living with ambiguity, the truth is we will never know any of these things, while we are still alive anyhow. Wouldn't life be dull if we had all the answers? Would there be any reason to strive, any reason to worry? Purpose is something we find within ourselves, being told what our purpose is in my mind is akin to slavery. Does it matter what we do with our lives? Objectively, no, nothing matters, but if nothing matters we have the freedom to decide what matters. Hope is nothing more than the belief in possibilities, it is a perhaps, without it, we'd all just resign ourselves to our "place" in life and be miserable. Nothing in this world is set in stone. You are right to believe much is wrong with the world, society and how we live our lives, much is wrong with it. I don't mean to say blindly hope without taking into account the reality before you, but you've got to hope for something; when it comes down to it, that might be all that keeps you alive. Do I think that all humans are good people? No, I believe we are what we make of ourselves and are neither inherently good or bad. There are evil people and there are good people, but that really just comes down to the choices they were given and which ones they took. We all die, all things are ground to dust with time, no matter how grand, it is unavoidable. From my perspective that is the one thing that can take away meaning and the one thing that gives life meaning, because if we lived forever, would anything we do really matter?

1. Whats something you want everyone to have in the world?

for everyone to have quality of life, (physical health, family, education, employment, wealth, religious beliefs, finance and the environment)

 

2. How would you end all wars?

the only way to end wars is to stop human nature. human nature causes wars.

War results from selfishness and from misdirected aggressive impulses

 

3. Whats your favorite animal?

i like many ...ill name a few...Tigers, Lions, Wolfs, Snow leopards *_*

 

4. Whats your favorite vehicle?

 

i like many... but this is one of my faves ..Nissan Skyline GTR R35,

 

5. How do you deal with sadness?

 

when i get sad it doesn't last very long, generally only a few hours, this is due to my busy schedule, i often work 2 jobs, when im not doing that i go to the gym.

 

so i guess when i upset due to being busy it passes as i need to concentrate on other things.

but i must say the gym helps a lot if i have ever felt down after the gym session im fine.

 

6. Would you help someone on AF if they were depressed?

yes for sure, im happy for anyone to approach me, i like to talk a lot.. and im a good listener, i may not have the right answers but i will definitely try and help.

 

7. Whats your hobby's?

Lifting weights, Anime, Football(Soccer) technology, games(don't really have much time for games anymore)

 

8. Who's got it harder men or women?

 

every person is going to be different so its very hard to answer, i will say both genders have it tough.

 

9. Whats the best joke you have ever heard? Nate the Snake. You can find it at:

 

I would love to tell you, but it cannot be said here.

 

10. *Your own fact about yourself*

 

hmmm, well i didn't do great at school, was told i wouldn't achieve much, i like to say i have proven them wrong, doing better than was predicted.

what i would like to say is, school isn't everything, its what you do once you leave school.

It certainly helps if you do well, but it will not determine your future.

1. Whats something you want everyone to have in the world?

 

A chance. Regardless of race, income, where they were raised or any of that, one thing I would want everyone to have is a chance to do what it is they want to with their lives. Sure, that may not always be a good thing, and some may commit horrible acts if given that chance, but that's what people who would like to stop people from doing such things are for, should they get their chance.

 

2. How would you end all wars?

 

I'd like to lie and say I have an easy solution for that, but honestly, the question is phrased, it's almost like I'm being told to come up with one answer, despite how every war could stop with a different solution. For example, I wanted the fighting for Israel to stop, I would promise those who would try to invade it that the nuclear weapons Israel has for it's protection, would no longer be pointed their way so long as they agree to no longer attempt to invade it. In Africa, for those who fight over who owns what land, I would promise to do whatever I could to take the poor out of poverty and ultimately help it become a 1st world nation, so long as they agree to work together, and share extra resources they aren't giving the rest of the world, so that people stop dying of hunger both it their country, and in the rest of the world. It all varies depending on what brings up problems that lead to war in the first place.

 

3. Whats your favorite animal?

 

Honestly, this might sound weird, but I don't have one. I thought for the longest time it was either cats or dogs, because they are the animals I have the most experience with but honestly, I like them both the same.

 

4. Whats your favorite vehicle?

 

Pretty much any S class Mercedes. I have a certain respect for cars of that make and the S class has always been my favorite, hand down. As to wish S class car is my favorite, it really depends when new models come out, because that is subject to change.

 

5. How do you deal with sadness?

 

A lot of ways. Listening to music, although I don't do that as often as I used to, watching things that might make me happy cry instead, posting on forums, talking with people. There's no one solution for sadness where I'm concerned, and sometimes even a mix of what I do is called for.

 

6. Would you help someone on AF if they were depressed?

 

Absolutely, so long as they came to me and let me know, because I wouldn't want to assume. In my life, I've helped several people get through depression, even when it's taken years, and there has never been a greater joy in my life than when their quality of life starts improving because of my input, and the nice thing about it, is that even if it takes time, it's not difficult. It's all about reading what's told to you and knowing when to talk and when to listen.

 

7. Whats your hobby's?

 

Playing games and talking about them is a big one, although I'd like to make the latter my career. Beyond that there's watching movies or anime or just looking around the internet to understand what's going on in the world.

 

8. Who's got it harder men or women?

 

As a man I am taught from a young age to be stoic about my situations, and as an adult, I am reprimanded for showing almost any emotion, namely anger, when I am treated differently because of my gender. One of the worst things I have ever heard from another man I call a friend, was when a woman walked up to him and told him he should probably stop chasing his daughter around because it looks perverse. This happened while he was playing tag with her in a park, a situation that was considered completely normal when he was a kid, and one she should be able to do without people treating him like that. I myself have had people pull their kids away from me and give me dirty looks like somehow I'm a threat to them. That's absolutely insane, but it happens, and often, all because of assumptions based on gender, and I'm not supposed to react to that. I'm told that I'm not allowed to like kids because that's perverse, yet when I was a kid, leaders in my church for kids groups could be men and nowadays that almost never happens. How I am to be stoic when I'm told that it's okay that I be treated like that simply because of my gender, instead of my history. I don't enjoy people using the term white cis male un-ironically either because it sounds like a way to generalize and get revenge on all white people, even if they never supported white supremacist ideals. And here I am, meant to be stoic through all of that, because otherwise I am either weak or a criminal. A woman can get away with being abusive to her children and even in divorce, even if the husband is the better of the two options between parents he'll often lose his custody battle because he is male. I've seen it happen, and yet I'm supposed to take that like it's normal, like it's fine, like I shouldn't feel anything because something is wrong with me if I do. Men have to deal with their issues in silence because society tells them that something is wrong with them if they don't, and I'm supposed to be fine with that. Yes, there are male dominated jobs, and yes men can be paid more in the work place, and yes men often make choices for women in certain situations, but given all that men are told to deal with in silence, which is practically everything, can you blame all of them, can you really give every single man the same treatment because the ones in charge do things that the rest of us don't agree with, and we aren't allowed to speak out against them in a sense? I once had a friend tell me how much easier it is to be a man, because we don't have the same kinds of emotions that women do, but that's not really true, we're just told, to be silent.

 

9. Whats the best joke you have ever heard?

 

You'll excuse me if after that last one, I don't feel like like telling jokes.

 

10. *Your own fact about yourself*

 

I am statically, an anomaly. Most men who lose their fathers at an early age don't accept a religion where the god or gods are accepted as fathers, but I did. Most people aren't left handed, but I am. Most diabetics go to the doctor or get admitted to hospital 7 times or more a year for diabetic related issues, but I don't.

@existentiallylostdumbell I think you're taking this the wrong way, I do not see my life as worthless because I haven't done some life changing thing, I just see life as pointless because as the Bible says:

"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." -Ecclesiastes 1:9

Everything that "Changes" because of inventors, or presidents, isn't truly new ... We go around in circles, creating and destroying our works. Humans live in a world that will never be perfect, and will be destroying itself most likely.

 

Now, you seem to think that I'm saying life is worthless therefor just do nothing because why bother? I'm actually just trying to get the point across that without religion, we're all just living a life that doesn't even matter in the end ... What is the point of that?

 

I see life as a test, a game, and a war ... We're tested by the Devil each and every day, we then give our results to God.

The game is trying to defeat our demons, trying to over come them, while also helping others over come theirs.

The war is between those we can not see, as described in the Bible:

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." -Ephesians 6:12

 

Now, although some humans have "Changed the world" with their inventions and such, are you sure they really did? The Bible says nothing is new under the sun, and as I said before, humanity just destroys their own creations time and time again ... This world is one that will go in circles, destroying and building, fighting and killing, and all humanity just following their own selfish whims because they think life was just a chance mistake and we're all able to do whatever we want ... Life without religion is a dark one, one where everyone does as they wish because what else could the point of life possibly be if not to please yourself?

If you're suggesting there an be no morality without religion, I disagree. I guess we just have different views and will have to disagree. Anyhow, at least I know your not a depressed kid. In the beginning, I thought I was arguing with a sad nihilist, change your perspective, change your life. You've got your own sort of meaning though, so long as you have a meaning there's nothing I really need to say. Personally, my view is that so long as you have something to strive for and can find a way to live a life worth remembering, that is meaning enough. All we really have is our experience, everything else is illusory, transient, the past is gone and the future is an idea. So yeah, we've got different beliefs. Some day I'm gonna get myself a Bible, a Quran and whatever the Buddhists have, and read them. I may not be religious or believe in God, but if they've lasted this long there must be some wisdom in them.

I find that you are very wise in not rejecting the possibility of there to be Objective truth. I hope that when you do go searching in them that you find that, the Bible is the only one among millions/billions of gods and religions which do not require you to become perfect to be loved by God. "The case for Christ" is a highly recommended documentary/book for you if you truly are interested in finding out if there is truly evidence for Jesus Christ and Him being God. Because if it is true then you have found a treasure that is beyond anything that you can comprehend, but if it isn't true then you can rest assured that you are living life the best way you can.
