@icedquinn nooo Quinn! *hug*
ok ok um ummm... i'll send u some inspirational quote videos from my 2 fave thinkers, since its about bed time for me. Buddha's work on "Dukkha" (suffering) and why it's inherent in Samsara (the world we live in now), is a good starting point.
These quotes helped me get through some rlly dark times... trust me, i used to be very suicidal.

@cee @icedquinn @lanodan Jainism is dumb. Its extreme focus on non-violence means I can't even kill insects like the bed-bugs that have been bothering me for the past few weeks.
apart from that, most of it's philosophy is decent
