My basic take on Nihilism
My basic take on Nihilism
I got two-
"Don't get jealous since jealousy is you just wanting to become exactly like him/her. However by being him/ her you are not you. Be proud of who you are, not becoming something that isn't you."
"Originality isn't dead, it's just harder to make."

Taking too much of an "intellectual" view on life is quite possibly the stupidest thing you could ever hope to do. (I generally use this in situations involving Nihilism and Misanthropy, neither of which I fully agree with, despite understanding the reasoning behind.)
Aside from that, I have several sub-philosophies. A simple set of guidelines, if you will.
1) Once you know your limits, alcohol is your best friend if an inexplicable change in factors is required.
2) If you overcome that surge of pain now, not only does it go away faster overall (not applying to lingering physical damage) but you get the satisfaction of having punched the person responsible out.
3) Everything is an Emily Dickinson quote if I say it is.
Among others, but three is always a good target in these threads.

I've got 3. These are the ideals I live by.
1.Believe or do whatever you feel like. Like whatever band or religion or ideology you feel is best. As long as you don't try to make me believe it or force me to be involved I won't stop you. I'll even support your right to believe it, just don't force it on me.
2."A truly tolerant society is one where someone can make a joke about someone else and everybody laughs". Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw in his "50 cent Blood on the Sand" video.
I've taken this to heart because it means that it isn't racism unless there is genuine hate behind it. People are so scared of being racist they won't even describe people by their race. People can joke but just don't hate.
3.My last one is from a Pokemon movie.
"It doesn't matter of the circumstances of your birth, but what you do with the gift of life that defines who you are".
Judging someone on their race or appearance is idiotic because it is entirely beyond their control.
Judge someone on their personality and hate or like them for those reasons instead.

A misanthropic anthropoid with nothing to do
Say what you must, do all you can,
Break all the fucking rules and
Go to Hell with Superman and
Die like a champion, yeah hey!"

I think there's quite a few more philosophies here than the one you quoted for which that phrase would apply...Generic Gamer said:
As for me, it all boils down to one word: Respect.
You don't have to like others, their ideas, or their actions. You can despise them, in fact. But you should respect them enough to be able to live with them. It's really easier than it sounds.
agreed. A personal philosophy summed up into one statement isn't much of a personal philosophy at all.A Distant Star said:
It's kind of why I hate it when people sum up their moral philosophy with "don't be a dick", because that really doesn't tell me anything.
"Speak your mind and fuck the consequences"
"If you feel offended about ANYTHING that anyone else say, then it's ENTIRELY your problem"
