I've come to the conclusion that love is just a complex chemical reaction, monogamy is flawed, there is no god, and freedom is a joke. Also, I'm surrounded by people that seem to've swallowed the blue pill.
Where do I go from here?

Drugs? I don't think I'll be using those as an escape any time soon. Reality is ridiculous as it is.

If you're going to recommend your one true religion, please don't bother answering.

Please note that I'm not in a state of depression, only realization. If reality depresses you, that's acceptable. However, I'm looking for open-minded answers from people that understand my point of view.

Please don't tell me you've taken the red pill and your personal god loves you in the same sentence.

To keep yourself sane during your development, try to find the beauty in those things. Just because you believe that love is merely a chemical reaction doesn't mean that you can't revel in the feeling when it comes. It's kinda like people who get drunk. The feelings are a result of the drink and nothing more, but nothing stops them from getting drunk again later.
As for monogamy being flawed, monogamy is not for everyone. Polygamy is full of its own problems as well. It all depends on what you feel most comfortable with.
No God? Ok. Who cares? If it does not bother you that there is no God, then why worry? If it does bother you, then perhaps you should speak with someone who is more knowledgeable about religion. Maybe even test the waters with religions that you have not tried before. Not all religions believe in the existance of God. The important thing is that you are at peace with your belief, whatever it is.
Freedom... What IS freedom really? Freedom may be a joke to you because of what you believe freedom is. Personally, I need structure. Without structure, I could not enjoy freedom. Some people need little or no structure and often find it confining and confusing. It is all a matter of perspective.
As for where you go from here. Try just going to tomorrow for now. I know it sounds all cliche, but one day at a time often works best. Everyone needs to find their own "truth" regardless of what that "truth" is. No one can just wave a wand and make the horror go away. Accepting the situation and seeking ways to better it are signs of an intelligent mind.
If I have helped you at all, feel free to contact me. If not, well good luck anyway.

I've swallowed the red pill and I understand.This may sound corny, but everyone else is everyone else and you are YOU. You know what is right, DO THAT, love everyone else and wait for them to catch up. It's kind of all you can do. Oh, yeah, don't be depressed because all your doing is hiding and denying your true self that way. Socrates said "In order for any truth to be found in this world, a splintring of the mind must occur." Congrats on your awakening. Good Luck.

Love may be a chemical reaction but at its best it is the most beautiful, delicious, intoxicating experience in life. At its worst, it is painful and disappointing but life is to be lived! You have to embrace the good & bad or you're just hiding from life.
Monogamy isn't flawed. People are. Very few animals mate for life (wolves, swans and a couple of people!) The key is to wait for the right person & then you never want to leave them (most people settle for the wrong one & then are tempted to stray).
There is a God. Watch the sun rise and set. Take a walk through a forest. It's a beautiful world. Someone made it. He's there, he's just very subtle. He gives us room to find Him if we choose.
Freedom is a beautiful thing but not many people have it. Most of us are in some sort of prison (either of our own making -- out of fear etc -- or because we have to work at jobs we hate -- like I do!)
The blue pill? Matrix? Yes, most people would rather believe lies & illusions. I choose to see the truth, however painful.
Where you go from here is up to you. Eyes wide open. See the beauty of life and the ugliness. Just try to enjoy the beauty that's still there.
Cheers.

Life is what you make it..Freedom is asking the the question "where do I go from here" and there is a GOD, your just not looking in the right place.
Love is very complex, but you have to believe in it and find the right one to share it with in order for monogamy to come into place.
CHEER UP!!!

Just live your life one day at a time, just like the rest of us that have discovered the very same thing you have, dont take life to seriously, but dont give it to,little thought either, do what you can each and everyday to enjoy it, try one thing each day that scares you. And take up a hobby, the time passes quickly if you find something you enjoy doing, and life wont seem so tedious either.

WOW - lots of 'good' (valid) observations - you seem to have the wisdom of the sages. . .
Where to go now?
FIND YOUR FREEDOM (which you think is a joke)
AND LIVE IT. . .
When you truly find how to live in the 'now' - freedom ceases to 'be' a joke. . . it is the only answer that 'works', or makes sense.
All else is an exercise in life futility - the place where most humans exist. . .(if they are not in some chemical/dogma induced 'false' reality).

as for the person who said read the bible, she said that there is no god... and i say you have depression (and you're in a state of denial about it), don't take meds cause they're just crap. but depression comes in pieces, there can be months at a time where you either have it or you dont. Electro-shock therapy is another option... but dont ever go to a therapist they suck too
