Re: Real World Philospohy
Our burden in life is to be the cannon fodder for those who order the cannons fired.

Re: Real World Philospohy
Happiness is an illusion of an imprisonned mind trying to make the best of a hopeless situation.

Re: Real World Philospohy
I think that it is normal and natural for people to be happy. Look at young children: they naturally laugh and play and they don't need a reason to be happy. Somehow, as we grow older, we get conditioned by society to be serious and 'mature', and therefore don't allow ourselves to be happy as often as we could be.

Re: Real World Philospohy
The mind is never truly asleep, it fakes you into believing that it is at rest when in fact it is only plotting new ways to over come lifes problems.

Judge for yourself.
One is Living in Sin by Ian R. MacLeod, available for free at the Infinityplus archive.
The other is not available for free, but is available for purchase as an e-book. It's Hell is the Absence of God by Ted Chiang, one of my favourite authors. |
