Describe life in one word. Or one sentence. Or one paragraph. Or once post. Your choice. But this thread's purpose is to describe life.

And that's life for you. We don't speak for anyone else.

After doing one post describing life, feel free to later revisit this thread to describe life some more. Since we will never truly reach one objectively accurate description of the true subjectivity of life . . . especially not one that is fully comprehensive.

For me, right now, life feels complicated but is simple. And for me to be alive in life is to self-spectate.

It's like . . . being in a virtual reality. Where you have the controller. But the controller is controlled all by itself. And yet you can still feel it. And feel yourself at one with the controller. And you lose sense of whether you or the controller is in control, and if it even makes any sense to distinguish between the two.

For me, life is like physically feeling participation but experiencing spectating. It's like living life as a spectator rather than a participant but still feeling things that hit or touch you.

And it's like living life vicariously through others . . . and seeing yourself as another 'other' to live through. Yourself no more valid . . . and the only valid difference is you can only sense your own pain and pleasure because even empathy is only felt in your own mind and body. Besides pain and pleasure, and anxiety and desire, you don't feel real. Like, at all.

That's what life is like for me right now.

Mehhh.

I had to add two more H's to make it long enough.

PS, Kev, btw, that big donger you upgraded me with is working out nicely! The money's on the fridge...

My donger is big enough As is my brain

It's my normality-levels that need an increase

A relevant rehash,

Life to me:

I neither wish to live *nor die* most of the time. Occasionally I enjoy myself but even then I feel empty and as though my life is not ever going to go anywhere because it's not like I even have any desirable goals I wish to achieve or if there's even anything I'd want to buy or invest in if I won the jackpot lottery. Nor can I give myself credit for any failures or successes as there is no free will. I wish to have better relationships and closer friendships with people but for those things to be truly meaningful they have to be mutual. So it's not something I myself can cause. And then atop of all this there's the fact I'm an epiphenomenalist so no amount of thinking or deciding or planning will in fact cause a better life for myself because ultimately it's my unconscious brain functions that trigger my conscious deliberations. So I just have to *hope* to have better ideas, decisions, deliberations and have to *hope* to follow through and become better motivated, somehow, someday, goodness willing. My life really feels like spectating myself, really, utterly powerless, out of control, chaotic and empty, but not chaotic in any sort of necessary destructive way. Mostly just a stagnant way. But most of the time too neutral to be depressing but still too neutral to be worthwhile.

I've had a few crystallized great moments in my life. And that's what really gives my life meaning. It's quality, not quantity. I hope to someday come into contact with more beautiful moments. However brief they are. I both crave and fear acuteness more than I crave or fear anything more permanent.

I don't know whether this was poetic or depressing.

I'm not chaotic good, I'm chaotic neutral, and my life is what it is.

Ain't that the truth.
