    1. Everything I think of is just a model that tries to make sense of the world around me.
    2. Life is chaos, order is just chaos of lesser magnitude.
    3. Breathe, don’t assign any weight to your emotions and thoughts, no matter how bad things seem to be, there’s always tomorrow (to opt to get out).

      Life is chaos, order is just chaos of lesser magnitude.

      By that, do you mean life itself or events which a living being can experience?

        Great question. I am referencing to the events and space I’m experiencing, now there could be some sort of unity behind the concepts and relations of life and death. Due to the lack of perception outside of basic sensors I dare not to say anything further.

        On the side note, at some point in my life I’ve been influenced by A. Watts, On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are (the game of black and white) in particular.

          I see. For me, life itself is order (or dynamical order https://www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/10/4/42), while many or most events we experience are disorder leading to our death (there are discussions on the possible Universe’s entropy increase and thus disorder). So, as humans, we have to work to maintain the order and progress (see also positivism) for our self-preservation, self-replication, and desires. This seems correlated with the idea of the game of black and white, also yin and yang. One could wonder why it has to be that way; why our natural fear/panic of actual death, disorder, chaos.

    If you can get down, you can always get up. Life always continues until it ends. If it’s not the end, it’s not the end.

    Sounds like a boomer’s postcard version of #yolo doesn’t it 😃

    Stoics discovered it a while ago, there’s no point to life.

    Hindus go a step ahead and devise methods to improve balance by dharma, something which continues.

      Stoics discovered it a while ago, there’s no point to life.

      I am not much familiar with it, but wasn’t Stoicism’s life meaning about following Stoic’s virtues which requires healthy interaction with other humans (ideally virtuous ones for better influences) and nature for a meaningful/flourishing life (one becoming the best possible version of oneself) achieving one’s purposes/goals beyond just surviving?

      As far as I know, the existentialism and cosmological nihilism philosophies that said life has no meaning from a cosmological interpretation.

      Hindus … improve balance by dharma

      I will have to look at that. Thanks!
