Being able to look up. Being aware that there exist things greater than oneself and immediate surroundings. Understanding one's own ignorance, limitations, and shortcomings. Being aware of being aware. Thinking about abstract things, such as what it means to be human. Experiencing awe. Bringing ideas to reality in the physical world.

I have no problem with people who blog to get unpleasant opinions off their chest, but this is just an insult.

Hey, you reading this: If you don't have a pet your not even worth calling a member of the human race, you halfbred excuse.

That's the kind of message hes sending in a cowardly and passive aggressive way. I can't even imagine typing something like that with the intent of being serious.


Why are you taking this personally? He's talking about himself, and is making a list of everything he feels he needs to feel fulfilled. Just calm down.

Isn't the goal to not decompose for as long as possible?

I love the dynamic that's suggested here.

From my experience people who dislike the idea of "getting decomposed" fear death, both their own and others, and are permanently suffering because in the end it's suggesting to try and avoid the unavoidable.

The other option is to embrace it as a part of life. Life as we know it would be impossible without death. It's not inherently bad or evil, it's neutral just like life. It's nothing to be afraid of.



I do like this idea, because it very much touches on the most fundamental aspect of being human: being able to ask "why?". For example, a dog in a cage would think "I hate being in this cage, I don't like it here, I wish I could get out." but never asks "Why am I in this cage?". This ability allows us to change patterns in our behavior and environment proactively, whereas other non-human animals must be prodded by outside forces into a new pattern of behavior if they are ever going to change.

Incidentally, asking "why?" has not, so far, been able to change the pattern of death. Not that death is a 'behavior', but it is definitely a pattern, which some people fear, and some face without fear. But to ask "Why", with no clear answer means the question has to be changed to "Why do we live?". Because people tend to proactively answer their question, the answer can come out really poorly, and because we must answer the question for ourselves, if we cannot, then we find the most simple solution possible, which break down into many answers, but many of which are (but not limited to):

- We are part of a higher supreme being made of energy, and when we die, our energy is reabsorbed back into the supreme being.
- We were made by a higher supreme being made of energy, but when we die, we can maintain our energy independent from the supreme being.
- There is no reason for us to exist.
- There is a reason we exist, but we cannot know the answer at this time because we are still learning.
- Materialism, i.e., money, fame, power, sex, etc.
- We don't really exist at all, it's just an illusion, and our consciousness is part of the illusion.
- To do drugs.
"If two pregnant women get into a fist fight, it's like a mecha-battle between two unborn babies." - Fyodor Dostoevsky

A love life.
Sure
Are escort girls a love life?

You know, for most of human history, marriages were for 1) social status 2) wealth, and 3) children. Love mattered little. Men and women found love through courtesans (both paid and unpaid), mistresses, and discreet affairs.

Don't judge.

Lists like this will simply trick your brain into believing that achieving this shit will be helpful.

It's not.

It's like the difference between having sex and watching a porno - lists like this are for people who haven't lived and experienced life yet.

Once you've gone through the dark abysses of having and then losing everything and then picking up the pieces of your life and ascending once more, then you'll know what it's like to be a person. Win, lose, laugh, cry, scream in joy or in pain - then you'll know what separates people from animals.
