Hehe, the thread that refuses to die.

Of course I have beliefs, this is a suicide forum isn’t it?
But I will continue to state (pretend) that I believe nothing so as to keep reminding myself that anything I believe to be true is in fact not.
Who came first, you or your parents?
Great question. Believing that it was your parents will (eventually) cause you a great deal of confusion.

Better to try and understand what somebody is actually is trying to convey rather than targeting that which they actually say. You’ll save yourself a lot of energy.
Look at Issaccs last posts.
Does he really want to know what I think, or is he still feeling hurt?
What benefit would there be in me replying?

And just for fun:
Sometimes it is even worse, for the physicist in the depth of his soul feels the falsity of all old and new scientific theories but fears to hang in the air, as it were; to take refuge in mere negation. He has no system in place of that whose falsity he already feels; he is afraid to make a plunge into mere emptiness. Lacking sufficient courage to declare that he believes in nothing at all, he accoutres himself in all contradictory theories, as in an official uniform, only because with this uniform are bound up certain rights and privileges, outer as well as inner, consisting of a certain confidence in himself and in his surroundings, to forego which he has no strength and determination.

We’re just going to have to accept that we’re all different, and that’s a good thing.
When you believe yourself to be a person, you see persons everywhere. In reality there are no persons, only threads of memories and habits. At the moment of realisation, the person ceases. Identity remains, but identity is not a person, it is inherent in the reality itself.
