I Love to Learn

Today I have been listening to things on YouTube and learning about Carl Jung, existentialism, a bit about nihilism, the stoics and the connection between Stoicism and CBT and Buddhism (the latter being relating to desire of things). Well mostly what I actually learned was existentialism, just the basics of it. Which is a hard thing to define but it's a philosophical movement where you think there is not a set answer to things as with a religion but it is individual, and everyone's answers to betterment, feeling fulfilled, faith etc can be different.

Existentialism, more specifically, is the study of Philosophical questions that deal with why we exist, how to live, and similar topics. Not all existentialist Philosophers believe that the journey is personal or relative.

It made me happy to read this: Always a pleasure to meet someone interested in topics of this sort.

@SW-User I don't tend to write on here these days as it just doesn't feel like the right place. It doesn't feel like the place people write 'stories' /thoughts like this and many of the members seem to be trolls or something similar. I'm glad you enjoyed it though.
