You have no bloody idea what you're talking about. Do you even know of the desires that dictate what you want to make yourself into?
I wonder if it's not a question of deserving so much as one of desire. Listening to people, sometimes it seems like they would rather watch the world come to an end than share it with "the likes of them."
It doesn't help that there are a non-insignificant number of people that (for a variety of reasons) believe that the world coming to an end is both necessary and moral. A much smaller subset of those seem to believe it is their duty to bring it about, if they can.phantom000 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 6:53 pmI wonder if it's not a question of deserving so much as one of desire.

That is very much the sentiment I recieve from someone who raises this question and this is also the reason why I react to it so... violently. Naturally the person asking this question thinks of him- or herself as apart from the greater whole, despite sitting right in the middle of it all. Naturally a single individual can't do much to effect the "big picture" directly and is hardly responsible for what humanity does as a whole and yet, humanity is a mass of individuals and the actions of each and every single individual are a part of the greater whole.phantom000 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 6:53 pmI wonder if it's not a question of deserving so much as one of desire.

Which is why oblivion is the most likely answer. Religion is at least 10,000 years old and the combined efforts of all of those priests, oracles, scholars, and followers for all of those millennia is... ''zero'' evidence. Uh-huh.Yukaphile wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 12:33 pm We live with an extremely mentally ill person, my older half-brother. He never kept the joint clean, he slopped food after himself, my mom can't keep up even with my help, we've been begging for professional cleaning services to come in and HELP, like in 2016, but no one was willing to do it. I personally think they just wanna make back COVID losses since the eviction mortarium expired last month, and they found all the excuse they needed. Even back when we were cleaning better than this, we were never good enough for them. They'd complain about meat we had out to cook that day. Now we have roaches. Ofc, we've been through vermin infestations before. Like termites, bedbugs, and others. But they gave us a week to vacate. A week. That expires today. That is zero time, especially with the weekend coming up. But these people are sharks, what can you do. For a while, we're going to be living in our car. Like it was in 2009.
I'll say something that will probably make Fuzzy happy. I'm REALLY in favor of repealing the vagrancy law. Good intentions, but all it takes is ONE overzealous cop to enforce a law that, well, people are not poor by choice, it just happens. I'll also take a moment to call out clearspira in that I don't think oblivion awaits us in the beyond. Yeah, I've questioned what happens over and over, but there's zero proof one way or another and it's not as absolute as he made it sound. But I've really stopped caring. My life is a waste and I don't care if I'm here, really.
