Is anyone familiar with philosophy and such? I just pissed someone off by stating that "I don't care if I have to live 60 years in a wheelchair; if I'm dead I won't remember it anyway, no matter how crap my life would be". No worries, I'm not in a wheelchair as of yet, but it was the result of a tedious discussion about me quitting rugby after cracking my C6 vertebra.

Not that I intend to debate philosophy. I was mainly wondering what train of thought I was following (other than an incredibly oversimplified one). Was it nihilism? Because said person accused me of being one.

Spinoza developed the idea of determinism. He argued that everything in the universe is predetermined. So if something bad happens to me, I shouldn't be angry but just embrace it. The key to happiness, he said, is to embrace destiny.

Diamat, what is my destiny? What is best in life?

Destiny exists solely to be crushed under your sandals as you march forward on the iron path you have for yourself.

[Lord Oda Nobunaga]

Diamat, what is my destiny? What is best in life?

Riding a horse on the steppe and your hair flying in the wind or something.

Don't date a Japanese woman. Actually, it doesn't matter that I tell you this, because destiny is inescapable. You will date a Japanese woman, marry her, have children with her, and then something terrible will happen.

A path that was pre-arranged for you by - as Spinoza would say - Deus, sive natura.

I do not know much about Spinoza, but I do like the turn of this thread. Actually I am enjoying the thread.

[Maximinus Thrax]

What is best in life?

To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. But I bet you already knew that.

[Lord Oda Nobunaga]

What is best in life?

A) The open steppe, a fleet horse, a falcon on your wrist and the wind in you hair.

B) Ta crash yuh enemees, ta see dem drivin befoe yuh and to hee da lamentashun of deh wyhmin.

C) Steel isn't strong, boy. Flesh is stronger! ... That is strength boy! That is power! What is steel compared to the hand that wields it? Look at the strength of your body, the desire in your heart. I gave you this! Such a waste... contemplate this on the Tree of Woe...

D) None of the Above
