There are three great truths to life. - And here they are.

Similar to the 3 Buddhist marks of existence:
- All phenomena is unsatisfactory ("suffering")
- Change is inevitable. ("impermanence")
- No conditioned things have an essential, permanent nature ("non-self")
 
I knew this thread was gonna be about some doomer Rick and Morty crap. Here's my take:

- The world may be dull, but as gay as it sounds, it ain't bad as long as you bring a smile to someone

- Acknowledging your cringe is a sign of progressing as a better dude

- Bitterness towards life begins with self-hatred. This happens almost all the time

Edit: Sorry about the changes my dudes! Just got mixed up with things

So he left out some jargon that was covered by what he said in plain English? Why we need to tie him to a tree and fuck him in the ass, really show him what we do to faggots around here!
Cope. He said "these are 3 great truths about life," and I responded that it was interesting how it resembled the "3 great truths of life" of ancient Buddhist philosophy. You said that my list of three was EXACTLY the same as his, and when I said no, it's not EXACTLY the same, you just started rambling. This is where I stop replying to you on this topic, but either look up the 3 marks of existence (tilakkhaṇa) -- specifically "non-self" (anatta), which is actually the central metaphysical position in Buddhism -- or look up the dictionary definition of "exactly". Cheers!

Cheers dude, I'm not gonna do that. These are equivocal statements. I'm not motivated to look deeper because when you look deeper into spiritual traditions you find deepidies. It's not "EXACTLY" the same as what he said but it's close enough that I don't see the relevance of the difference and no, you can't give me homework.
 
What if, hypothetically, life is a beautiful marvel gifted to us by God, and you are just a pathetic whiny faggot?
You write in the manner of someone that's never lost someone precious to terminal cancer.
In the end, we are all collections of experience; the only truly precious things we can have are the moments we share with others.
They cannot be manufactured. They cannot be artificially flavored, colored or preserved.
They cannot be sponsored, or bought, or simulated.

Wisdom is a walking-stick upon which grief rests its burden.
I walk the long walk and watch those beside me fall. Disease, misadventure, suicide.
But I cannot stop to lift them; they will remain where they fall, but I have no choice but to keep walking.

All I can do is hope that I see them again, at the end of all things.

Death, taxes and faggots that think they are deep.

I mean seriously, if the whole edgy spiel was actually accepted by anyone then why not kill yourself and be done with it.
Fear.
Fear of the unknown. Fear of making a terrible choice that can never be reversed. Fear that others for whom I care will be forced to walk past me, weeping at my fall.
Fear that I will inflict upon them unnecessary suffering by both my absence and the manner of its attainment.
There is enough pain and horror as we age, why add to others' burden?

I do not understand why the Buddha made this claim. Complete ego-lessness is peace but I wouldn't say anything else is inherently "suffering". It is also the case that in nondual religion, there is no such thing as death, in the sense that your finite mind dies but consciousness continues to experience other finite minds like the mourners at your funeral. This is absolute total Oneness.

Escape from Samsara does not seem possible to me. What would the mechanism be? It just does not make any sense at all. Even under Advaita Vedanta where there is a sort of localized self (Atman), when all things that are you are removed and you become pure mind, what exactly is there to differentiate? There is no separate self anymore.

I wonder if the Buddha meant escape from rebirth in a metaphorical way, that you see through the illusion? I don't really know. I don't get it. I the finite self am not presently suffering.
 
Nothing exists; even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; and even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others.

Nothing exists; even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; and even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others.
What if nothing IS something? There's nothing in nothing to stop it from becoming something, unlike what there is in something that stops me from randomly becoming a kangaroo or floating off the planet.
