Me thinks not! Sadly it must take some kind of courage which could be diverted to a positive direction with help.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position which argues that the world, especially past and current human existence, is without objective meaning, purpose, comprehensible truth, or essential value. Nihilists generally assert some or all of the following: there is no reasonable proof of the existence of a higher ruler or creator, a "true morality" is unknown, and secular ethics are impossible; therefore, life has no truth, and no action can be preferable to any other.

For some, suicide is a solution when confronted with the futility of living a life devoid of all purpose, because ending life seems a rational reaction to its absurdity. If consciousness is extinguished, the interaction between mind and absurdity does not exist anymore. Since life must end in death, which itself gives no meaning to life, suicide is only a means to quicken the resolution of one's ultimate fate.

Would this be a good choice for me? Why or why not? Thanks!

can the FDA a government agency do away with our freedom of religion, our freedom to meditate how we want to, our freedom to write what we want to, our freedom to give each other a message, our freedom to do what we want to with our own groups, our freedom to use vitamins and supplements and grow herbs and use them in food the way that we want to, our freedom to recreation, our sexual freedoms, our freedom to think, believe, feel, live like we want to?

Yes they can, all they have to do since "half" of our country is now labeled "mentally ill" is say that it is good for us and it is an "alternative treatment" and they can control it.

Is that what we want, do you want these things forced on you if it is not what you want? What do you think about this?

Am I going overboard, or can this happen in America? How will this affect other countries? Ever read any Orwell? Just putting out a feeler here, should we try to stop it before it happens this way?

People on this site have been so kind to me. I try to help others with their depression and anxiety but have been unsuccessful at helping myself. It helps me so much to know that someone out there heres me and might understand what it feels like to be completely alone. I'm looking for encouraging words to handle my severe depression. I would appreciate any words of wisdom to get me through another night alone here. I have thoughts of suicide, but would never make a plan to do it, so no worries there. I just wish I knew how to stop feeling such pain inside. I know that I need professional help but cannot afford a doctor and the state of Tennessee offers me nothing in the way of free support. I have no money and no on that I know can help me. I would love information on a website that offers volunteer therapy from a professional psychologist, but I know that that is unrealistic. Please help with any kind words you can take the time to spare. I would appreciate it so much.

yet you can see this persons face (remember, you dont know who they are)...is it likely that this person exists? maybe you saw them in passing somewhere in your life and this is just the face you placed to the person in your dream...how would you know what the person looked like if you never knew them? did you make the features or the person up?....i can still recall what this person looks like in my minds eye but i dont know her and have never met her. what do you think?

I gather that individual and social life everywhere is in the grip of various pretensions. We tend to hide behind things we don't believe to be true. What connects us so closely to falsehood?

Growing up we all sang Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.

Our country was founded on the principle of free speech. We preach tolerance but the entire concept of political correctness, and the sense that some "words", some "phrases" and some speech is just so inflammatory, so insulting, and so hurtful, and it should be censored.

But, they are just words, aren't they?

If directed at someone who does not understand the language they are delivered in, they are just sounds with no meanings.

They are not physical attacks. Being punched, kicked, stabbed, or shot results in tangible injury. How can words to that?

Are we too hypersensitive over words and their impact?

Can words really hurt someone? How?

I notice most short questions with little details get lots of answers. Most questions with more details get less answers. Seems to me most people are just lazy to ready. Your thoughts?

About a year ago, I moved into a high-rise apartment building and over time, I started to notice that a lot of mentally handicapped people live in the same building. I often ride the elevator with many of them, who are truly as nice as friendly as they can be, and it is nearly impossible to avoid them, but at best I can only smile while I think on the inside (Go away, don't talk to me, etc.)

There is one such lady who always talks to everybody and strikes up conversations most of us would deem inappropriate, unless you have a close relationship, which I don't.

The other day, I saw her coming and she saw me trying to hide behind the stairwell door, until she got in the elevator. My husband then scolded me saying that what I did was rude. I couldn't argue from him, because he's right, and I hate myself for having such an attitude toward people who have never harmed me.

Why do have such feelings? How do I get over them?

Does anyone else feel like this? Or am I alone?
