  in my understanding schopenhauer understood life as oscillating between the desire to nut and post nut depression.

  Listening to you quoting Schopenhauer on the meaninglessness of life while doing my morning routine of shaving, pissing and brushing my teeth felt like a particularly absurd moment in my life.

  Why do so many people dismiss their own pessimism as being immature as if only an &quot;angsty teenager with no friends&quot; would be so pessimistic? &nbsp;It&apos;s so cowardly.

  This might sound a bit odd, but Mainlander&apos;s idea about God attempting to become nothing by creating a universe which decays into nothingness is pretty much exactly an idea I had when I was suffering heavily from schizophrenia. I genuinely believed I was part of God and the reason I was suffering was because I could never reach the end, due to God (me) being unable to stop existing. It&apos;s a bit more nuanced than that, but yeah, pretty damn close.
