I hope there is nothing after this

I think I am not interested in bliss anymore. Certainly not interested in the eternal.
I am not going to let reality dangle the concept of the divine in front of me anymore, just out of reach...
I chase nothing.
I want nothing.
Screw all this noise. The whole spectrum of noise...good and bad.
I don't want another life, I don't want heaven...
I want nothing.

My joyous days have passed. I have cooled to them. In the educated world, amidst human beings, I feel the disadvantages of life too strongly, but alone, far from the crowd, I turn to stone. In this trance anything can happen, I see neither others nor myself. I do nothing and do not notice the actions either of others or myself - and I am at peace, I am indifferent. There can be no happiness for me, and I will not succumb to unhappiness.”
― Ivan Goncharov, The Same Old Story

Just because there is deep unhappiness for some on this earth.. doesn't mean that's all there is forever.. tho im sorry you feel that way.. things can be different even for you in the here and now.. 🤐

@YoMomma Idk, I think it's more restful not to pine for happiness or hope that it's just around the corner. It's certainly more restful than continuing to try for things I want only to be crapped on from a great height again and again and again

@Vengabus ay for sure its easier to give up than to be constantly let down 😳

@YoMomma in my experience, trying achieves little good

@Vengabus maybe reconsider your methods?
