Recommended: The meaning of life and death essay

To live in the awareness that life is impending annihilation. Is the only true way to live. Chaos is everywhere, and for that we should be thankful. The love that was, the heart of disillusions a compass heading towards nothingness. Blackholes at the end, a closing gap within. The mind lasts for a period of time, in the end no echoes or light can escape. The universe swallowed up, the path to the right no more good and evil do not coexist, all the wars do not exist. Money and Walmart do not abide the tongues of nothingness swallowing the tears and fears the beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning. You 're are already slowly being murdered by life daily. Death is already happening so why fear it. Just wait for it. No need to be a murderer life is. Life goes on after we die, we 're the mortal beings.
Life is but a trivial game of hide and seek.

A lucid dream of nothingness, but yet we want there to be something. There is nothing; life means nothing. We 're made from stardust a blimp on the evolutionary scale in intelligence. In communities we reject each other. We deny our own purpose by constantly seeking new ways to be fulfilled. We 're diseased rats; if we truly had any care in the world we would feed the homeless and shelter the weary. We wouldn 't hold the wealth for our own cynical delusions.

We 're nothing, but we 're everything. There is nothing in everything and everything in nothing.Life means nothing. Only something for those who think it means something.We 're innately nothing. Life is meaningless. I see all aspects of life as negating. Death is life 's way of saying you can have a nice sleep. Despair at its highest point is somewhat of a challenge. But on the other hand life in general has no intrinsic...

...t zone to help them no matter what. The greatest thing in life is boundless love for those that need it and for those that don’t. Sacrifice is a virtue that shows you truly love her and you would do anything to make her happy. I do not fear death but I do fear living a life without love. When you have lost everything, that is when you begin to appreciate life for what it is.
Time is precious yesterday is over and today is a new day, take time to love others with unconditional love. Don’t waste your life on people who don’t spend anytime on you. Strength comes through solidarity, learning to be okay with yourself. Sometimes the best lessons are learnt alone. Being single is okay you know that there is someone better out there who deserves you the same amount that you deserve them. Love is sacrificing everything for the one you love no matter what the circumstances.

  • Heidegger's Conceptual Essences

    510 Words  | 2 Pages

    Heideggers Conceptual Essences: Being and the Nothing, Humanism, and Technology Being and the Nothing are the same. The ancient philosopher Lao-tzu believed that the world entertains no separations and that opposites do not actually exist. His grounding for this seemingly preposterous proposition lies in the fact that because alleged opposites depend on one another and their definitions rely on their differences, they cannot possibly exist without each other. Therefore, they are not actually opposites. The simple and uncomplex natured reasoning behind this outrageous statement is useful when trying to understand and describe Martin Heideggers deeply leveled philosophy of Being and the nothing. Lao-tzus uncomplicated rationale used in stating that supposed opposites create each other, so cannot be opposite, is not unlike Heideggers description of the similarity between the opposites Being and the nothing. Unlike Lao-tzu, Heidegger does not claim that no opposites exist. He does however say that two obviously opposite concepts are the same, and in this way, the two philosophies are similar. He believes that the separation of beings from Being creates the nothing between them. Without the nothing, Being would cease to be. If there were not the nothing, there could not be anything, because this separation between beings and Being is necessary. Heidegger even goes so far as to say that Being itself actually becomes the nothing via its essential finity. This statement implies a synonymity between the relation of life to death and the relation of Being to nothingness. To Heidegger, the only end is death. It is completely absolute, so it is a gateway into the nothing. This proposition makes Being and the nothing the two halves of the whole. Both of their roles are equally important and necessary in the cycle of life and death. Each individual life inevitably ends in death, but without this death, Life would be allowed no progression: The nothing does not merely serve as the counterconcept of beings; rather, it originally belongs to their essential unfolding as such (104). Likewise, death cannot occur without finite life. In concordance with the statement that the nothing separates beings from Being, the idea that death leads to the nothing implies that death is just the loss of the theoretical sandwich's bread slices, leaving nothing for the rest of ever. The existence of death, therefore, is much more important in the whole because it magnifies the nothing into virtually everything.

    Fear of the unknown, and fear of what is to come in our lives, has generations of people wondering what will our lives be like tomorrow or the next day. Death is always there and we cannot escape it. Death is a scary thing. Our own mortality or the mortality of our loved ones scares us to the point that we sometimes cannot control how we are dealing with such a thing as the thought of death. Why do we fear such a thing as death? We don’t know what happens after we don’t how it feels. The fear of death is different for most but it is most certain to come and we cannot hide from it. For death is just around the corner and maybe it’s will come tomorrow or the next day! We fear not death, but the unknown that comes from death, that is the

Furthermore, a slavish life may reflect a position that is qualitatively worse than that of a life within—a state of nature.

  • A Good Death: The Fear Of Death

    Death is one of the concepts that is perceived differently throughout cultures. Some see it as a punishment or loss, some take it as just another chapter of our existence – a transition to the unknown. Death is so much more than just life running out of time; it includes a great deal of pain: physical, social – leaving our loved ones behind, mental – trying to understand what fills that void when we die, emotional – frustration and regret, and spiritual – fear of not having led a fulfilling life. There is a fear of death, or the unknown that awaits afterwards not only in relation to ourselves, but also in relation to people we love, and despite the pain that fills our hearts, sometimes we need to do the right thing to ease their journey.

  • The Impracticable Dream

    Frances Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, is written in the 1920’s setting and focuses on the American Dream. Gatsby, the protagonist, strives to make his American Dream, the achievement of wealth, social status, and family a reality but fails by paying the ultimate sacrifice—his life. Today, many people believe in coming to America to pursue the American Dream, yet they do not realize they are pursuing an inexistent achievement. People pay a high price as well because they spend so much of their lives working on achieving their dream and when they fail, it is as if they wasted their entire life. Similar to Gatsby’s efforts, today’s society defines the American Dream in the same way as Gatsby, causing people to sacrifice their morals, friendships, and lives in their journey towards this unattainable dream.

    Austin based filmmaker Richard Linklater recently released a movie that is a dream. By that I mean both that it is about a dream, and that it is dreamlike. "Waking Life" received mixed reviews, but it also sparked new interest in an idea that has actually been around a long time: lucid dreaming. In this paper I intend to explore the concept of lucidity in dreams, and to concentrate on the research of Stanford University's Stephen LaBerge, who has used lucid dreaming as a tool to better understand the biological phenomena of sleep and dreams.

O’Brien asks the question, If life is absurd and meaningless, why couldn’t death be absurd and meaningless? To tie this back to consciousness, O’Brien shows that just because it cannot be seen, how do we know it doesn’t exist? All of Freud’s findings are essentially as meaningless as the world O’Brien has created; an existentialist world of chaos and that the notion of the absurd contains the idea that there is no meaning to be found in the world beyond what meaning we give to it. It is O’Brien’s introduction to the world of bicycles having characteristics of humans and boxes, so tiny they camnnot be seen, and elevators into eternity, we are asked to suspend disbelief and understand O’Brien’s satire.
