Quote.



" The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever, and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hellbound as ourselves; go into oblivion. There is nothing else. Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It's us. Only us."

    Indira, do you believe in David Hume's hypothesis that there is no causality in this world? Science tries to study the cause-effect relationship behind events, but Hume says that it is all "coincidentally concomitant occurrences." Just because lighting fire heats up a room today, it does not mean, according to Hume, that the same causality will work tomorrow too. If it does, then it is just a matter of chance.

    I ask that question because the quote you wrote about - where existence is random and the world is rudderless and fate/destiny have no meaning, not even metaphysical - seems to fall in line with the Humean thesis. Do you believe in that too?

      Rather grim is it? Haha, oh well I do give credence to Hume's take on causation. I readily accept it in my mind but when faced with daily life it is hard to not be a slave of the expectations of habits\ cause and effects; always assuming if that happens, hence this will or must happen. The fact that we MUST have some sort of significance as existing thinking beings is way too ingrained in our psyche making it difficult to fully be one with Humean's take on human nature.

To Change or To Change.

Life changes you.  ‘Change’ the one constant throughout the perpetuation of time. The influence of the people you meet and the experience you undergo are like micro surgeries that restructure bits and parts of you. Either you feel more corrupted with age or more grounded with your accumulation of wisdom. One thing for sure age does not and never will reflect wisdom. It’s always easier being the person from the outside looking in. However, when you are the protagonist of the situation at hand, then the rules of the game changes. The world did not come into being along with an instruction manual. We long constructed our pillars of morals through trials and errors from generation to generation. Thesis and antithesis like that of Hegel’s, as the pendulum swings humanity makes their progression. Self-evaluation and reflection is an essential ritual for every conscience bearing human being. To question ourselves is just as important as questioning everything else aroun...

Just another mindless human.

Have you ever stayed at home long enough or just been away from people that when you finally go out, the world is too big and loud for you?  Well, time has become nonexistent for you but seeing people just scurrying around, hurrying here and hurrying there makes you instantly aware of the existence of time again. You can feel them judging you. With just one look, they sum up who you are. They emanate self-importance and frustration. You keep walking through the crowd; the feeling that you don't belong here and shouldn't be existing starts sinking into your head. Thought after thought floods your mind and soon enough it becomes too much. Unable to keep track of these thoughts you lose yourself into the collective conformity, go numb and become part of the parasitic crowd. Just another mindless human, hurrying away. GrymmRipper. :]

Void

You're awake and lying in bed for what seems like ages. Your mind wanders aimlessly. Blasted Beyond Belief (by Bhayanak Maut) plays in the background. The room has become much warmer and you begin to sweat. You hear a growl but this one isn't coming from BM's track. You figured the source.It was your stomach. Funny you had a hearty dinner and yet you're hungry.Again. You look at the clock.Its 3.15 a.m. You've turned into a nocturnal being,you think. You give out a sigh and push your duvet aside. With much dread you get out of bed and walk towards the door. It is time to prowl and hunt. Grymm Ripper :]
