The experience is always changing. If you cross the same bridge twice, at the second time the experience is not the same, as you are not doing it for the first time.
So if the experience is changing and you are equally suffering, you are not learning with life, that's a mistake that lots of people do. Suicide is not a solution.
You’re willing to say that to someone who lives with an incurable and life-altering disease that I fucking hate? I cross the same bridge every day. When I get up. When I go to bed. When I’m asleep and every moment in between.
My suffering is because I’m not learning with life? That’s my mistake? And that it’s not a byproduct of something 100% out of my control?
No offense, but that’s pretty fucking arrogant of you.
So go ahead, give me your tips for learning with life and overcoming my mistake.
Please don't post flamewar comments to HN regardless of how provocative some other comment was. It only makes the thread even worse.
I've replied to the other user elsewhere, who has been breaking the site guidelines even more in this thread than you did, but two wrongs don't make a right.
I'm the grand-parent comment so I feel a bit responsible for where it went so maybe I can clear what I meant here.
My view on the question of impermanence has been shaped by buddhism. I'm not a buddhist, I just discovered buddhism at an age and in circumstances where it talked to me and helped me a lot going through some very bad stuff.
I hope it explains better than I did what I meant by "nothing is permanent", and maybe it'll be of interest to you like it has been for me. Feel free if you want more pointers.
I'm not, I don't know you and I don't care about you. Desperation doesn't make your point right, the same way it doesn't make it right for a poor guy to rob another just because he is hungry. Life is tough to everybody, besides the 0.1% that are too lucky to born with everything they need and the 0.1% that have and will have nothing. I'll not modulate my opinion based on the 0.1% and wonder if you are part of this group. There is no arrogance on that. Life doesn't work for you? I feel sorry for you, nothing more.
So if the experience is changing and you are equally suffering, you are not learning with life, that's a mistake that lots of people do. Suicide is not a solution.
