I wonder what some of the more interesting non-cliche takes on this are on this board. The thought-out more interesting ones.

Personally, being through my mid-20's, I don't "fear" death anymore, at least not consciously. I still have fight-flight and a fighting spirit in me. But I am not afraid of it, I don't think about what happens after. I often also think of "No atheists in foxholes".

I do think about death every day, it just comes to mind. Ever since I can remember reality always showed it's uncaring callous attitude toward the wishful prayers of men. I experience the world sensually you could say. I went down self-improvement with powerlifting and martial arts and cold showers and floor-sleeping and anything else physical. I walk down the street and feel the heat and the smells and the crushing spirit of the city and concrete. I'm also no stranger to animal slaughter or violence and filth.

Point being, I don't concern myself with the possibility of a God or an afterlife. I don't think man should because he cannot know. Therefore my experience and concern is only with this Earth and what I see in front of me. I live every moment with intention and the possibility of death by any means goes beside me at all times. I draw some inspiration from the philosophies of the ancients the so-called Classics and what is important to me is living life with virtue (masculine qualities) and never backing down, never kneeling. Death is not something to be avoided at all costs.

Live life expecting the worst and accepting that you're no different from the savagery you see in National Geographic coated with more advanced communication and behavior, and understand that mere life in itself has no value except through great acts and the overcoming of weakness. The existence of a God or an Afterlife should not be in your mind, let go of what you cannot control, and put all your energy of will on what you can. I refer to this outlook not as Stoicism but as Tragic Heroism.

you must be at least 35 before you can hand out wisdom and life advice.

Well I don't really get along with anyone. I make everyone laugh with redpills they take as humor and calm them down on their baseless insecurities about the future (Nothing Ever Happens TM).

I have been alone for so long, and I have never seeked companionship. Everyone else is either a pothead-sedated retard with no real opinions or some clean-slate yuppie nibbling on cookies at the office, in between are the antisocial, sometimes criminal ones. I don't fit anywhere and I'm better off alone.

Given the nature of life and the world, that suffering can be much greater than "pleasure", that life itself is suffering and struggle, one must embrace this and burn like a lit gasoline canister until its time to blow.

Fact. Wisdom doesn't set in until about mid 30s.

Well, some people are quite alright. Just blind ... and too busy trying to still cling to something. Could be helped but where to even start ... damage control panel just lit up like an angry vengeful red Christmas tree. And I suspect some joker might have filled the fire suppressant system with gasoline. Again. See? A sense of humor is a great way to maintain at least your own sanity past the point of frustration where you cannot unsee the bullshit for what it is anymore. Some might call this dangerous jury rigging and I tend to not disagree ... eh, only thing that still stings a bit is that you do not expect much once past that event horizon.

I experience rage. Because it doesn't matter what I or anyone else as an individual sets as foundations for the justification of life or meaning when the wave is taking us all down together regardless.

Been learning about what "Socialism" did to this country and it now baffles me even more how these old retards still cling to that past as a lost "Golden Age" while half the country didn't have electricity and people had to smuggle basic goods to live while the whole Communist country was propped up on foreign loans and free "socialist" labor. Seeing old men going nuts in public transport, old grandmas getting cunty for the sake of it. Youngsters sucking cock for the EU. This country is literally part of the EU but without any good aspects like gibs. I am still being flooded by the third world, the standard of living is rock-bottom and we have no rights whatsoever before the kleptocratic, feudalistic government legacy of Communism. I see all of these old peasant retards and my young globohomo peers and I don't want to take any of their shit. I want to lash out. I feel like a tiger in a cage running from corner to corner scratching at whatever can be touched, I refuse to submit to these conditions.

By the way I'm a big guy trained in physical matters and no stranger to the filth of the world.

My take on the future of "humanity": It's only going to get much, much worse. And a moment might come where to me "honorable" death (whatever that would mean in this clown technological age) might be preferable to "go on living".
