Vipassana

No, never. I suppose I practice meditation but most of my philosophy is influenced by existentialist philosophers like Nietzsche and then post-modern or contemporary philosophers.

Suffering's a great theme - I believe it will eventually be worthwhile. More accurately, I believe I will eventually make my own suffering worthwhile.

Like that statement about 'despair', I turned it onto a decasyllabic line which has many potential rhymes. Despair - Knowing one's suffering's in vain. I'm not sure about the line but it's a concise definition, it might be better taken out of poetic meter. Still, I gained a really clear line that accurately describes the despair which Kierkegaard details in A Sickness Unto Death.

Anyway - this has turned into the most convoluted reply and I'm sorry. :(

I was just talking about Latin American literature in another sub.

The philosophy you've described is interesting. I have no hope, no ambitions, no dreams, nor a sense of self worth.

I wish I were myself from the past. I used to go running every day. I'd fill my head with awesome EBM and be thinking of philosophy and poetry whilst I went through the most beautiful locations. It's taken a few years for me to become more agoraphobic, though I've been this bad before. I know I can get better again.

Thanks for replying - I love writing back, even though my comment's convoluted.

It's so cold here. I can see my breath indoors. Last night, with exhaustion, I went to the supermarket in the cold dark. No one can see me - I'm literally invisible. I self-checked-out my 2 cans of beans and a loaf of bread, whilst waves of nausea cramped my gut.

It will get better - I will make it better. Thank-you!
