The problem isn't your body - that's what bodies do. Adjusting your mindset is the only thing that'll make existence bearable.

Existance (especially if it's fullfilled in the white men's world) always turns out to be bearable, because it's nothing but a thin and tiresome conjuction line between the immensity and the immensity of the nothing.

The earthly eternity may be the solution, but it seems like not even god is able to bestow it to us.

An earthly eternity of non-fulfilment is something to avoid. Be thankful you'll switch off like a burned-out light bulb in the comparatively near future.

Verb of Nothing points us to capitalist free market wage slavery, which distracts the proletariat from contemplating the wider implications of existence by dangling materialist baubles carrot-fashion in front of the industrial juggernaut to which the proletariat is harnessed. He notes that, were this distraction to be never ending, it might be adequate. Considering our inevitable death is, he observes, the means whereby we can put this temptation behind us and concentrate on what really matters.

Eternity doesn't scare me. At the contrary, I'm horrified by the end and by the purpose of anything: not knowing the exact ending time of this thing, I'm forced to do something meanwhile.

But in eternity (where there's no end) I can comfortably refuse to act, because nothing will happen.

Time breaks up everything. But if I'd be alienated from time, If I'd be eternal, I would have nothing to worry about.

You're denying the identity of your eternal I and your current avatar. You're treating the one as non-you, as postponed you, as different from you. You could, of course, be correct in your denial.

If you're correct then you have no choice, there is no eternal I, you can never achieve it, sit back and watch the show or walk out, it's not as though you'll have a tomorrow in which to remember it.

If there is an association between an eternal I and the unalienated poster then you're left with a puzzle. What's the function of the split? You've only got so long in which to work it out, if working it out is of any potential benefit to you, or to do whatever alternate thing might improve the eternal I's condition if anything can.

I don't care about what I'll be AFTER. I've got to "live" first, that's the problem. I'm interested in death, but, shame, we have so few informations about it while we pass our time here...

Oh, I could talk with a priest. Oh, wait, I'm doing it now.

Why this is heaven, nor are you out of it.

Let's face it, every other concept of heaven is pretty hellish.

The huge attraction of what you've got now is that, in some senses, it'll end.

No, because since that word was used its boundaries have been arbitrarily stipulated by men.

So we're basically talking about an undemostrable thing.
