I don't think there isn't a meaning of life, and I don't mean that in a nihilistic sense. Everyone has their own thing. You do what makes sense to you, think what makes sense to you, believe what makes sense to you. Life is whatever you make it.

Words, man. Words. What gives them power? DO THEY HAVE POWER AT ALL? What do you think?

Probably consult a doctor. Preferably a therapist. Get whatever help you can. You could also exercise (if you aren't already), change your diet, sleep less.. or more. Talk to people. I know these are probably generic responses, but they might help if you give them a shot.

I do think it really is whatever you decide it is. Anything can be beautiful if you pay attention to it or choose to see it as such or are conditioned to view it that way.

????????????

What do you think about thinking? Is it stressful? Is it necessary? Does it make us needlessly depressed? Should we allow things to think for us? Have we already allowed things to think for us?
What do you think?

I don't think there really is anything that can make a person beautiful or not beautiful. Cliche as it sounds, it really is in the eyes of the beholder. That's what I think at least.

What do you think?

Serious question btw

@Kyle-Norwood just talking in general. Nothing specific

Do we need them? Do they hold us back? Do they make us do stupid things? Are they the only thing that keeps us going as a society? What do you think?

Curb Your Enthusiasm. I like being reminded how dumb we all are.

Or something like Nosferatu, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Have you seen Eraserhead?

@Vlad_21 you'd be surprised

I was raised my whole life to be a gentleman. You know, respect women, open the door, be polite, all that jazz. But recently I've been attacked for doing just that. These acts are now seen as disrespectful, as I understand. It's just such a strange thing to me and I'd like to hear what people think.

@DEEPANJALI-ARORA easier said than done:eyes:

I just finished Twin Peaks.. I have no idea what to do with myself... I feel so empty..

@ArabellaA I can imagine

Obviously, social media is good for exposure and that kind of thing, but I can't shake the feeling that the whole 'like' system can be harmful to people's artistic growth. Equating the quality of a work of art with that kind of thing is very, very.. troubling to me for several reasons. What do you think?
