Mortality Community

Inspired by "The Map that Leads to You"

Gold digger versus labor digger. Upset someone so much they deleted the whole thread and my very long, very thought out responses, and now I’m upset my labor got wasted so. 1.

Acceptance

I am aware of my own mortality and know nothing is guaranteed in life (edited)

What Matters

It’s interesting the things people believe matter. Even from the lens of impending mortality, it isn’t absolute. All of it, including Love has a pattern and cycle that is plastic/malleable.

...Who are we!? What are we doing!?

It is a profound and sobering truth: love, heartbreak, longing, and all the intense feelings that consume our days are ultimately temporary . In the end, we all must leave this world behind...., carrying nothing but the legacy of how we treated others. Here is an impactful idea to capture that… (edited) read more

The passport bro reality

International dating is both fun, easy, and filled with a variety of choice. It often seems like things are better on the other side because of the different cultures and values we have as people. It makes connection fresh compared to the way it is from where ever you left. In my opinion, it… read more

Just a collection of poem things

---Soldiers mind in time--- A man of contempt and disillusion, is this what one is meant to pursue? Grasping for meaning—not nihilism, but a chasm of deterministic pride, synchronicities throughout the stride. Now the soldier lays silent. The violence in pursuit? The adrenaline? Consequences… read more

What is toxic actually?

Toxic this toxic that. It's what everyone says everytime, why are people so fixated in one Way. I say weaklings. Toxicity is countered by resistance, it's measured by magnitude of all the things that try to overpower the resistance. Humans have forever overcome ever harsher instances of difficulty.… read more

Thing that appear in my mind this morning

Yes. And that is not an accident, nor merely a theological quirk. It is structural. Most religions do not oppose immortality because it is impossible. They oppose it because it breaks the psychological machinery that religion relies on. Let me lay it out cleanly. --- 1. Mortality is the… read more

Have You....

Have you ever gone through something so traumatic( 2 times) within the span of a month, to where it basically has you questioning everything, including your own mortality?

A well intentioned thirst

A well can go very deep to access the elixir of life, giving and giving for generations. When a person's love is like a deep well, they are happy to give their love and create generations of descendants also giving life. When a person over gives until they realize that they have little left and… read more

MmBop

Saw this reel of Hanson today, all grown up and doing an accoustic updated version of MmBop. The reel was about how the lyrics hit different as an adult, and it was unexpectedly healing and heart warming for me. Not for the reasons one might think, I was never a Hanson fan and I wasn’t particularly… read more

Life has two stages; when you feel immortal and when you accept mortality

Fear (rambly thinky thoughts)

I saw a post asking "what's your biggest fear"... and rather than brain dump in a poor unsuspecting soul's thread, figured I'd dump it here for anyone else who might happen to be interested in the pondering. So, this question always gets me really thinking.. and especially now because the answers… read more

The Fear of Death

I was having a conversation with my mom about how fast the year has come and gone, and I started to think about my mortality for a bit and how I fear the idea and even the thought of death so much.

The Disrespect of Diomedes

I just wanted to say that I think Diomedes does not get the respect he deserves from modern readers of the Iliad. Let's look at some highlights: - He's one of Athena's two favorites. Odysseus is the other, of course. But I'm just saying Athena never drove Odysseus' chariot. Bonus: although… read more
