But is it though?

At some point, everyone peaks. Nobody expects Harrison Ford's performance in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny to exceed Raiders of the Lost Arc. Nobody thinks Dolly Parton has another 9 to 5 in her, just waiting to be unleashed at age 76.

Sure, there are exceptions, but that's just what they are. Exceptions.

Yes, but it is very often premature to judge that you have peaked without good evidence, especially when people still have years in their life yet.

Except Kanye

Well no. I mean this quote is true for some but not all or even most people.

Thank you I needed this

Same can be said of any motivational quote isn't it. Cannot be applied 100% everywhere but need to look at what good impact it can have on one.

Tomorrow is a known unknown but death is unknown unknown.

Consider someone in pain/depressed for a long period of time. Everyday, it’s the same. Maybe tomorrow will be different but looking back , it’s unlikely. Looking back a year ago, it’s the same. 2 years ago, it’s the same. Sure tomorrow is unknown but its kinda lesser form of unknown. Like infinity. There’s a different infinity(in maths). Which is more likely, you having the same economic situation tomorrow or you going to be a billionaire?

Death on the other hand, it’s the unknown, it’s different, and possibly the end of suffering. I don’t advocate for suicide and don’t agree with it but I see the appeal.

It’s always yet, until death.

And babe won’t that be fiiiiiine. Wait….

Well I could say that sometime you don't need to die to be dead, sometime the idea of not feeling anything it's better of the idea of suffering, of course it is bad, but every problem has a solution and often the solution it is to accept that we are just suffering because we are humans because we value things differently and we feel emotions and circumstances based on our traumas and experiences, if you feel stuck in any part of your life seek help from a therapist cause no one is suffering alone we are just telling ourselves that we are alone

My favourite quote as procrastination slowly destroys any hope of success in life. But hey there is always tomorrow!

You're god damn right, thank you

So one just stops trying? Fuck that

I had a teacher who lost his wife & son. He phrased suicide as walking out of a movie early when the film is at its lowest point. You never know if it worked out & it is worth sticking around to see where the plot goes because you already invested time into it. Plus you don't get to pick another film if you leave.

Looking at your life as something to kind of amuse you makes the darker points easier at least for me, & I take time to find the brighter points in the mundane.

So what you're saying is everything that I've done up to now is crap

What a low effort post..

Sure, when we die!

Thanks! Tried my hardest to put in as little effort as humanly possible!

The thing is, you don't know. It isn't over til it's over. Don't quit before the miracle.

Over 40 years into their career at the forefront of heavy metal, Metallica just put out what might be their best song ever just a few days ago. Bad Religion put out their best album in 2013. There’s no reason to focus on inevitable decline, that’s the whole point of the post. We all get it already.

Sure, there are exceptions.

you're best! :) Work is yet to come. :(

Posting your own tweet on Reddit is kinda lame.

Noted. Thanks!

Grammar’s important!

So you're saying anything i've ever done has been shit and my actually competent work is yet to come??

It's okay your best work is yet to come apparently

Thank you. I'm working hard to build the skills that will let me create better and better things, and it's nice to get a reminder of why I'm putting in that work rather than just, like, binge-watching videos. Watching videos does have it's place of course, I'm just too busy lately for much binge-watching.
