Is this the lesser of two goods, or blisses?
Oh gawd! Help me out with this dilemma.
What’s the lesser of two evils?

Re: What’s the lesser of two evils?
Would you like to be dead forever. Or, alive forever?
Maybe being alive for half of eternity and dead for the other half of eternity?
Whatever, there’s no way to escape the horror of conscious knowing.
It’s shocking. And there’s nothing you can do about it.

Re: What’s the lesser of two evils?
First of all, in order to render any judgment with a thing, one has to be able to define those things and to what purpose they are used for.
Material, form and purpose. From what Marcus Aurelianus learnt from Plato.
Material and form define a thing, i.e. they allow us to name material, i.e. verbs, and form, i.e. nouns. So, You have to define yourself first and know how to name yourself as some one thing. Then you have to know your purpose.
A mind is potentially the most powerful life support system possible. It achieves that ability by being able to learn how to predict the outcome of behaviors of things. This is afforded to us by our Grammar Systems, our Grammar Matrix. A mind is a life support system, potentially the most powerful life support system possible. Therefor, as the function of a mind is to, as recorded of Christ "have life and have it more abundantly" an aware person knows what their job is and how to do it.
Since you apparently do not, no one can help you as you live in a state of self denial. No self aware person does not know which is better, which they were made for, living or dying.

That’s the sort of reply I was looking for, genuinely.

The way I see it, we have one chance to make something of this one life. That is it. I do not profess that making up stories about the unknown are in any wise fruitful unless used for motivation.Fairy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 08, 2025 6:18 pmAwesome post. Thanks for sharing that insight. I loved it.

What about if you could choose to be born again after your body dies, would you choose to?

What are the terms and conditions?
If it's a life with another incompetent god threatening me with eternal damnation again, fuck no.

After reading P’s comment this morning I was going to say the exact same thing you said. But I didn’t bother.Phil8659 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 09, 2025 8:25 amOh, anything else but yourself is responsible for your life,promethean75 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 09, 2025 6:53 am What are the terms and conditions?

It’s just the most obvious way to go about your life.
Re: What’s the lesser of two evils?
For me personally…
The purpose of your life is to make a purpose for your life. Then you give it to yourself.
Re: What’s the lesser of two evils?
Well, you have an obvious reading impairment. So why do you bother people like a mini dog riding their leg?
Re: What’s the lesser of two evils?
Wow, I did not expect that from you, but that is exactly true. As long as you choose something, within your ability, to maintain and promote life, you got it nailed.
