Thank you, sir. Yes, I was traversing w/ the dead a few weeks ago. Then, I became gravely ill. Then, I fell thru the cracks of space-time and into the abyss. There's not much one can tweet from the abyss except that it is vast & empty & meaningless.

(1) So you were very ill, huh? Just as I thought! I'm sorry for you. I can't help repeating "Eat well and take a walk." People often say they don't want to live long, so they don't want to eat well or take a walk. Yes, I respect their attitude.

(2) But the fact is that it's not easy to die early. Most people have to live very, very long in an unhealthy state. That prospect worries me. That's why I say, "Eat well and take a walk even if your real wish is to die soon." And that's what I've always been doing.

(3) But of course, I don't have any intention whatsoever to preach here. Different people have different traits. If some people tend to eat bad while taking no exercise at all, then that's the way they're programmed to be. We all have to accept them as they are.

Thank you for accepting me as I am. I can't seem to exercise or eat right. I'm no good. A low down cowardly sheep killin dog. No morals. A materialist or a nihilist or solipsist or something like that someone called me. I own it all. I'm also on drugs.

Thank you. I didnt go away. I was in the void & I couldnt come up with much to say about it. The void is best expressed thru silence. The void is silence. It is the negative from whence the positive becomes manifest. The emptiness in which all things appear.

Antwan, you're so poetical and philosophical you sound almost like Arthur Schopenhauer.

Thank you. I take that as a compliment. Schopenhauer is the progenitor of modern antinatalism, in my opinion. He also had a penchant for the Vedas.

Yes, I said it as a compliment. Schopenhauer is said to be a poetical philosopher or something, right? He writes beautifully. As you say, he's much into Buddhism too.

I didn't know Schopenhauer wrote poetry. His writing is good, tho, in my opinion. He had a very clear, concise prose. Yet, all I can read are English translations. I thought he leaned more toward ancient Hindu literature than Buddhist?
(1) Actually, I don't think Schopenhauer wrote poetry, either. By "poetical philosopher," I meant his writing is far more beautiful than that of most other philosphers that he deserves to be called a poetical philospher.

(2) As compared with him, most other philosophers write rough, disagreeable-sounding prose, especially Immanuel Kant, of whose writing I can't bring myself to read more than a few pages.
