Whats Your Life Philosophy?

[kimb]

What school of philosophy(s) do you employ in your life? For you, it may not be as clear cut as subscribing to a few schools of philosophy, maybe you find values among different philosophies, and piece them together to follow your own life philosophy.

If so, is there a personal notion or an ideal you live by day to day that summarizes how you live your life or your out look on it. I personally fall somewhere in between being an idealist, humanist, and an existentialist, and my life philosophy is one's life should be geared towards working to become an optimal (best) version of themselves [physically, intellectually, metaphysically] through introspective and critical thought.

Also, do you believe there is one philosophy, that is the most superior/inferior compared to others? Why?

Here are a few basic descriptions of some of the most common philosophies that may describe your perspective if you're unsure;

Absurdism
The universe has no inherent meaning, and to seeking an underlying meaning to the universe is pointless. Accept reality for what it is.

Cynicism
Happiness is found when living a simple life accordance with nature. Reject conventional perceptions of ***, wealth, fame, and power.

Determinism
Everything that will happen, shall happen, does happen, and cannot not happen. There is no true free will, only fate.

Existentialism
Existence is inherently meaningful and authentic. We all have the free will to determine how our lives will unfold. "The sky's the limit".

Hedonism
Ones life should be focused on maximizing pleasure through self indulgence. Pleasure is found in intrinsic goods.

Humanism
As rational beings, we should prefer critical thinking over dogma. Evidence Over Superstition.

Nihilism
Existence has no meaning. Way2Edgy4Me -- Now that's what I call "Edge".

Realism
Reality exists independent of our minds and conceptions. Reality exists without anyone to perceive reality.

Solipsism
Your consciousnesses is the only thing that truly exists (can be proven to exist). Nothing is real outside of your experience. It's all an illusion. "Matrix"

Utilitarianism
The best actions are the ones that promote the most happiness/well-being . Whatever benefits the majority is preferred.

Seems like propaganda or bias and opinion-based, to be honest

lmao,it's absurd to "accept reality for what it is"?Okay, let me ignore what's actually happening, and totally imagine and "paint" the situation as something else. So backwards.

honest to god, life is whatever you make of it. There is no official meaning. You have the choice to acknowledge what's really happening, or just beat around the bush(which is what most people choose to do).

Truth is just truth.

There doesn't seem to be a word for my philosophy on your list, maybe you can help me out.I think of us as flesh robots that have a core goal/s and that is purely survival,reproduction and ensuring our offspring gets the best chance at survival. On our journey to this goal, we are peppered with some emotions and feelings which may make us think there is more to life than just surviving (love,happiness, achievement etc) which isn't the case in my opinion because love,happiness and achievement are a byproduct and a reward for following your instincts and accomplishing a task to get to the goal of survival and reproduction (e.g getting a GF). I don't really think I have free will because I know, all my goals that I "chose with my free will" are all connected someway in supporting the core goal mentioned above. We're essentially very complex flesh robots that have been programmed for surival and reproduction. Other than that I don't know if there is more meaning to life, there doesn't seem to be but I try to live my life enjoying it much as possible even though I know what is really going on.

Are you a product of child negligence? You've got to be...

 

[Dreckerplayer]

Yo ass isn't rich . You use the word "grind"...financially unstable people always use the word "grind". "Grinders" try too hard, cause they're always broke from spending too much money.

You're mad because I had you dancing like a puppet the other day. Remember that bullshi* you preached about how in hell it's impossible for you to feel pain because your adrenaline kicks in? the whole base was laughing at you.

You have no ratings and no matter how logically sound your thinking is, no one here will listen to you because of your past stupidly. Get benched you degen.

lmao, what? Is that your "straddle the fence" response?And you STILL remember that? You're as inferior as that slave in your avatar.And dumb dumb, you don't notice pain when adrenaline kicks in...not sure what you were trying to get at. So jealous and premeditated.hhaha.

And every post I make, clearly has many of you straddling. You can't "have someone dancing like a puppet" when the person is clearly uninfluenced by your degenerate point of view.

And stop appropriating black culture, my god.

The base might pretend "laugh" at me, cause they know I'm laughing at them.The joke ain't on me, my boy.

Nah brah. Rich people grind to stay rich. And who said i was rich? :lol

mmkay.

grind sounds like "desperation"...you have stability, you don't have to "grind". "Grind" is a struggle, it's for those who lack financial security.

Notice, the people who often use the word "grind"...it's so obvious. If your mind is so focused on grinding, you obviously don't feel like you have enough of it.

If you have enough, but still preach "grinding"...you're most likely ungrateful and greedy.Which is still a lack of security, imagined.Nothing is ever enough.

Rich people who grind are envious.

The "absurd" in absurdism is reference to finding the pursuit of and or belief in inherent meaning to existence ridiculous, or "absurd". Judging by your comment, you're an absurdist. Congratulations

Sounds like textbook nihilism to me. You definitely have a positive outlook on life though, which isn't uncommon among nihilist.

Uninfluenced? I'm making you re-read and edit your posts against and again like the bitc* you are as if it's the final essay to hand in. "Straddling" I hope you don't spout your bulls*it in the rare times where you're allowed to make verbal conversation with us normal humans. You probably got bullied in secondary school by people like me so now you're jumping around here on Narutobase.

finally a GD thread i like...based on those its a mix of Determinism, Existentialism, Hedonism, Realism

---

Determinism because i do believe in fate, people will die when theyre suppose to for whatever reason but you have no control in that. i guess thats why i usually tend to have the "go with the flow" attitude when it comes to life, not exactly with controlling people who think they control life but hey..its just we are all fated to certain paths i feel and see, call it karma or whatever you want to justify said fate. but it is what it is imo, you just have to try and do the best you can with the cards youve been dealt for whatever reason

Existentialism because i truly believe everything is meaningful, thats really one of the main reason why im a songwriter and artist and is the fuel for that. there'd be no point at all really if i didnt feel so, especially when i first started off with people saying youll never make money and its over saturated, blah blah. but i have feelings that were meaningful to me that i felt i needed to express and seeing it resonate with others who could feel it and connect on an emotional level with me, showed me personally they weren't meaningless, someone was getting something meaningful from it, which made me try even harder. i also feel like everything happens for a reason, which might fall under the last one but i feel that gives meaning to things, moments with individuals arent forever, when they leave they leave all the memories and things they may have taught you, which can be a huge impact and all you really have left of someone important. though i disagree that the sky is the limit, you are very limited, gravity is there to remind you of that. you can try your best to make the life you want and go for the things you want but in reality that might just not be the case for you, youre probably fated for something else. while others need to endure said hardships to reach their fate, which might kind of be what you had in mind but it usually never is

Hedonism because you only live once, you might as well try to enjoy your time here as much as possible. no one will make your life truly pleasurable by your standard. i could never live a straight edge life or be super diet strict, for me thats not pleasurable and enjoying my life, as much time and effort it takes to right a good song or paint a painting, if i didnt get some sort of pleasure out of it there would be no point. sure i can be super selfish sometimes to attain and maintain pleasure but it is what it is and there are so many things in this world that can bring it to you, its almost like youre suppose to, though religious people feel you are suppose to fight temptations, which they are entitled to believe but i find it dumb, you should embrace them imo. even though happiness is very fleeting, even to have it just for a little bit is worth jumping out from under water to feel the sun, even if just for a little. otherwise i wouldve been killed myself, life is way too depressing and terrible. to never ever feel something more and always be depressed is a fear i always have and pleasurable things and moments pull me away from that feeling

Realism i dont think i really need to explain, its pretty obvious and the description covers it. so many people are in fantasies, even me im in my own bubble to try and escape some of the realities of life but regardless of how i feel or what i do, its still there. there are things, concepts, philosophies and behaviors that have existed long before ive been a live and will still be there long after
