This is for you.

The person reading this post.

You have the ability to do something really awesome. Look within yourself. I want you to break away from the pessimism and anxiety you have for the world, and learn to love, as I am sure you used to. It might not be today or tomorrow that you come to the decision to live happily and to build great things for yourself and others, but I hope that some day you will see what I see in each of you, and decide to pursue that 100%.

There is hope for all of us, to live to our full potential. We just need to open ourselves to it, and not give up.

Some of you are fairly 'deep' into a world of meaninglessness. Maybe you read news reports and conspiracy theories to keep yourself stressed out and anxious. Maybe you come on this website just to call people names and affect people in a negative way, as the people on this website may do to you. This post is different from those posts, because I know that within us there is a will to create the lives we truly want to live.

Love is the most powerful force in the world. You may have concluded that this post is 'garbage' from that sentence, and if you have, I urge you to take that as an illustration of how you have come to block the love out of your life. But you are loved by many from the smallest microorganisms living within your body to those that have influenced you in one way or another.

Your body needs your love and you need to love your body: Are you happy about how you look when you are naked? It's my feeling that many of you have minor health problems popping up that you can't seem to shake. Minor annoyances. Think of your body as a child that needs to be comforted, loved, and nurtured, and everything should go smoothly.

I just thought I would post this to help any of you who feel like you aren't where you want to be in life. I'm not where I want to be just yet either, but I'm making progress that I am really happy with. I wrote this post because I know that some of you could benefit from these ideas, and I hope at least some of it registers to those who really need to bring some love, hope, and optimism back into their lives.

This is biologically-oriented. Take it to the /lounge/

It is for /prog/.

Thanks. But to reject hate as a beneficial emotion is to reject life, for it was through struggle, pain and hatred that we evolved to become the beings that we are today. Take that away, and not even the most primitive single-celled microorganisms would have emerged.

There is time for love. And there is time for hate. A time for order and a time for chaos. A time for ones and a time for zeros.

The duality of life and information.

To disregard this simple truth is to succumb to pathological altruism, which is ultimately destructive. There is nothing wrong with being a cynic, for God is the ultimate cynic. Holding cynical views doesn't make one a nihilist lacking purpose and agency.

But I understand your post. /prog/ has become something of a family, a tribe. It's important we stick together, as the rest of the Internet declines along with Western civilization.

My recommendation is to pursue the life you truly desire, whether that involves staying on /prog/ or breaking away from /prog/.

Just Bee Yourself ANON!!!!!

That's what I thought exactly. "Just be yourself! You can get a girlfriend, I belive in you! It's within you to succeed!" You know, all the bullshit advice that stupid whores give.

nah m8 i just want to watch anime and app for money

I wouldn't say I'm an optimist but I understand the futility of pessimism.

Thanks for the kind words OP. I often try to motivate myself with similar ideas. I don't think I've been as successful so far. I hope to one day because a nice optimistic productive member of society. I appreciate your attempt anyway.

To be more clear, you may as well not be pessimistic. There isn't much gain to be had from pessimism. So even when things are undeniably shitty, you may as well not fixate on the shittyness, and let your attention wander to other things.
