Some food for thought if you are in chaos/disorder.


The abyss is hard on people, some never come out, some come out without anything positive at all and some stumble across it without ever finding the(ir) road.

(regarding one of the points in the trailer)
The structure of the mind can be compared to creating a blank puzzle (read; if you build your house on sand). The affirmation you get is down to how well you have constructed the pieces (how well they fit together and confirm each others place). The despair that stems from that is down to how much they do not fit together (how much disrepancy there are). If you don't feel good about a majority of your decisions it's likely to mean that you still got a road to walk down (when it comes to the inner struggle) ahead of you.

In reality there is only one core true thing (one true dichotomy). Once you answer that question you will know that the road ahead is not that much longer before you achieve consistant inner peace.
I think therefore I am (and similar) does not apply here.

Speaking on behalf of chaos and despair are what nihilists or anarchists often do, both are generally types that have given up at some point or another in their personal development. For some it might be a necessity to live, for others it might be out of sheer despair and yet others might not even care about life. As long as they don't negatively impact others it is fine, though most take on an amateur skepticism whereupon they rely on others to give them the answers (rejecting all they don't like without examining the concepts by themselves - it's lack of questioning evidence, ones self and perception that has caused the negative state of mind they are in - doubling down is not the right path forwards).

There are generalisations in here, please ignore those on behalf of the points being made.

Ignorance is only a bliss if you haven't reached awareness.
