discussion Personal philosophies? (Get in the boathouse and discuss)

[Hexborn_Magus]

This is a question that crosses my mind every now and then. I can certainly say I most often operate on a form of positive nihilism. All things come to an end, good and bad, so live life well while it lasts and don't cause others' lives to be worse off. But then, what does living life well mean? I try to be there for others, or at the very least try not to intrude upon them, and especially strive to do no harm to other individuals. In terms of politics, I flutter around the democratic socialist and social libertarian spheres, which seems to match my worldview best. So, on a philosophical front, perhaps I adhere to something like ethical hedonism or stoicism most?

I don't know if I'm an existentialist per se, but it definitely appeals to me.

My philosophie is : fuck you, fuck everybody and mind your own business
My backup philosophie is : I'm too old for this shit.. usually before or after the one above

Taxation is theft and the government is unbelievable incompetent in using the money they steal from the people at the same time, the government is very competent at laundering said stolen money.

Personal philosophy this world is definitely post apocalypse or mid, or it's hell itself and humanity is trapped in an endless cycle of repeating the past. The Matrix was also Prophecy.

I am not motivated and do not find meaning in life through pure objectivity. Instead, I find it through passion, desire, and commitment to the things that are important to me. These phenomena are not objectively provable—nor do they come about through any form of analysis of the external world; they come about through a direct relationship between one and the external world. My emphasis is on relationship rather than analysis. This relationship is a way of looking at one's life that evades objective scrutiny.

methodological naturalist, secular humanist. Have been called a Nihilist... but only by evangelical Christians who believe in QAnon garbage.

Work to live, don't live to work

My bit of personal philosophy? "It's not always about you." Not everyone has the time to go around judging every other person for every little thing, and the ones that do are dicks. Relax.

Tits are life, ass is hometown.

 

[numpodece]

My personal philosophy is "its more important what you do and how you interact with others, not what o think or feel". Even if that is part of you, its a part you cant really control, at least not for most part, but the former we can.

 

[Sneaky_Creep13]

An opinionated curmudgeon. This doesn't mean that I am this way in every facet of my life. I am more open minded than people give credit. Those that know me, find me pleasant and yet a Pit Bull when I defend my opinions. It is my belief that we as a people (particularly Americans) have forgotten that life isn't "easy" and that not everyone wins a trophy. Maybe that is why I no longer live in the USA? I have been told though that its these qualities that make me good at what I do (writer). In many ways Americans now live in the United States of the Offended where you can't say or do anything without getting into trouble. In "social" instances I am often more outspoken because I try to get people to think and not just follow the herd like another hopeless sheep. I often offend people with my gruff and VERY direct way of speaking. I say world beware and let the chips fall where they may. If I offend you, please exercise your right to go cry like a little child in a corner.

I have none, I studied several. I can't remember a darn thing about any of them. My life has no meaning it's a random string of events. Chaos rules. I try to treat people fairly and try not to live in judgment of other people, i hate that shit. If you aren't doing something completely evil and you aren't hurting anyone, I have a live and let live philosophy. Your mileage may vary of course, for some people good and evil is subjective.

 

[danzerino]

Do something good for someone, anyone whenever or wherever with no expectations and no need for self gratification. Be human with no malice for we are all crashing into one another anyway. Love and care for yourself first for you must come first in order to help any others. Accept yourself for your strengths and weaknesses and by doing so truly accept and thrive to live in the moments you create!

I eat when I'm hungry
I drink when I'm dry
If the hard times don't kill me, I'll live til I die

 

[podllboq]

There's a saying in Spanish that I quite like - "comer bien y cagar fuerte y no tener miedo a la muerte". Literally means "eat well, shit hard, don't be afraid of death".
Not gonna pretend it's my entire philosophy but sound good as a baseline.

Expect the worst and hope for the best.
