Are you happy with your life? If not, Why?

You might wanna consider lowering the dose whatever it is.

I maybe hard to see but I’m lurking around a few threads

Seen this somewhere the other day don’t remember where but it seems somewhat fitting here.

A man has 2 lives. His second life begins the day he realizes he only has one.

Unless your referring to someone who has spent decades in jail before being released, sounds like that man is confused abou his purpose and trajectory in life which I am not, as I know we all have ONE life to live.

Try again.

I just found it again.


So I guess that Confucius was unclear about his trajectory and purpose then because that’s who said it.

Glad to hear your life has been perfect and you’ve never had any rough times, doubts or bumps in your path that you chose. We all can’t be perfect like you Doc. It’s a metaphor btw. You should try it sometime. Just saying.

That's the shitty thing, have the same issue with most people that I do with the job.

I get so bored and find myself wanting to just...leave. That point comes where I'm just like, "This is fucking stupid. This person is fucking stupid."

I wind up staying out of a sense of duty I suppose. Grinding day after day.

"This is fucking stupid."

All just feels like such a waste of time. I'm working to pay for the car, so I can go to work, to pay for the home, so I have someplace to be when I'm not at work. Maybe in fifty years I'll be able to retire and chill the fuck out before I die.

Modern life is so...I dunno. I've just never really understood why, as a society, we keep living this way.

So much more out there. About the only time I don't feel empty is when I'm in the gym or in nature. Feel grounded, like I can breathe.

Don't get me wrong, it's not really even that I just don't want to work. I bust ass when I'm doing something that I see real value in. But I'm not adding anything. Not creating or connecting with anything most of the time. Shit just feels empty.

I've spent a lot of time up at Standing Rock. Actually going back up in a couple weeks to reconnect.

Sure, you have a bunch of kids that don't do shit. They just want to feel like they're part of something and I get that. But I was everywhere. I spent days chopping wood, sorting donations, working in the kitchens (<3 Grandma), up on the lines, and a lot of nights sitting with elders lost in some of the most satisfying cconversation I've ever had.

It was rag-tag, but it was community like I've never experienced. That should be life. Ya'know?

That was fulfilling.

I know someone who went out there during a nasty blizzard a few years back. I guess some big protest or oil line protest or something. He documented all of it and video a lot of it. Said it was crazy as hell, ppl literally fighting to keep each other warm and fed, a sense of community like you said.

Yep, I was there for the first major snowfall / blizzard. Was absolutely fucking miserable when it finally hit.

Everything just stopped, it was kill you in minutes cold.
