      Ayn Rand called this "The Reification of the Zero" and correctly labeled it as the evil that it is.

    I remember hearing that Terry Pratchett received letters from people who were close to dying for whatever reason, with them saying that when the time comes they hope his Death is the one their going to meet, and in thinking so they weren't so afraid anymore.
    He said those letters had him staring at his wall for a while.

Some saying we are apes who are evolved and others saying we are beings created by a God or gods to be perfect but exist in a fallen state. So in conclusion humans are in the middle of the pack, just advanced enough to be greater than animals but still beneath the Devine. We are creatures of dirt and blood and flesh but also possessing a soul and divine reason.

    Terry Pratchett had this talent with his writing of Death's character to take the bleakest, most cynical statements possible only to turn them on their heads and bring them around to truly hopeful messages.
    A Gramsci-esque "Pessimism of the mind, optimism of the will" sort of deal.

      @@johnkramer2144 Death, in the Discworld, IS one of the very few "real" Higher Beings, which I refer to as "law-beings", though this isn't the real name. Unlike the Hogfather, the Gods, and the Tooth Fairy, they are indeed a complete constant, whose rules are actually made by formless... things.. called the Auditors of Reality.
      Death, rather than only existing from belief, acts... weirdly.. with it. He cannot go places which do not believe in Death, and cannot see beings unaffected by Death - like, for example, a half-human "law-being" such as an incarnation of the concept of time. However, He does seem to be able to at least exist outside of belief. I don't remember which book this is from, I think it's "Eric", but im not sure.
      Essentially, Death uses Belief, but does not need it to exist as far as I know.

      Life is like approaching a mirage in the desert, you can see the cool water ahead, and have heard again and again of those who have drank from it, you live each day dreaming of eventually tasting it for yourself. You trek on as time drags you closer and closer until you’re finally near to the touch, and then it dissolves before your eyes. In disbelief, you cup the sand in your hands only to watch it slip through your fingertips. Though there’s nothing to drink, without the illusion and your hope for it, there would’ve been no reason to go forward at all, and hey, maybe you met some fellow thirsty wanderers along the way who eased the journey through the desolation. Then you collapse and die from exhaustion and become lunch for a vulture while a kid many miles behind you catches a glimpse of some water in the distance.

    The world is not fair. It is not just. It is not kind.
    Therefore I will be, and in so doing it will be more fair, more just, and more kind.
    This path is open to you as well.

    “You need to believe in things that aren’t true. How else can they become?”
    If something doesn’t exist. MAKE it exist.
    Examples:
    Want someone to love you? Learn to love yourself first.
    You want the world to be better? Start making it better.

    @LVZGIOVEL 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Human creativity is prophetic. Make believe becomes make be. With enough time, humanity can achieve anything, but first we have to believe in ourselves, even if there's so self, as in this act we become self-creating beings, fit to aspire for something more than merely human

    These cosmic existential posts are honestly calming to me.
    I guess its just comforting knowing that others are aware. That there are others that have understood.

    They are true... To us. As long as we believe in them, I don't think they could truly be called "lies" imo

    Death is not only just a guide for the souls of the dead...
    But also a mentor for the living, teaching them how to live
    Ironic isn't... Death wanting you to live

    Terry Pratchett was a master. only he could write stories with talking cats and a discworld carried on the backs of elephants and infinite turtles all the way down
    and effortlessly weave in philosophy on human nature from Death
