Many people find this sort of speech offensive, it's a well known phenomenon among religious speakers, motivational speakers, rehabilitation treatment centers, etc. Most of the time, people articulate that offense along the lines of “How dare you say everything is the way it's supposed to be - don't you know how I've suffered?”. I think, however, that a deeper frustration comes from the way this speech trivializes potential future action. Saying something like “Every failure was just a stepping stone on the path to success” implies that whenever something positive does happen, it's inevitable, therefore whoever works hard to achieve success has wasted their time. Since most people have worked at something, being told that their work was irrelevant is quite irritating. The suffering person is not only angry because their suffering are spoken of as trivial, but because their response to their circumstances is said to be ‘intended’: “Remember all that pain you went through when your wife and kids died? I am unimpressed by how difficult it was for you to return to normal life, instead I approve of all your sleepless nights. I am the one who says how you are supposed to respond to suffering. I am your superior, signing off on your work.”

Furthermore, people do fail. Everyone has direct personal experiences that testify to this. Hearing, then, that every path leads to success tells the listener “Remember that time you failed? Since that was just a stepping stone to success, and since you didn't end up succeeding, you must have given up, you lazy slacker.” So on the one hand, you're telling everyone that anything they do is meaningless, since happiness is always just around the corner. On the other hand, you're telling everyone that whenever happiness hasn't materialized, that they must have fucked something up: that happiness was nearby, so how on Earth could you have possibly missed it?

There are also a bunch of weird questions that get raised. If everything is wonderful and everyone always becomes happy in the end, why do you even have to say these things? If you love someone, why don't they know it yet? Or if love is so meaningless that someone can be loved without their life being affected, why should someone care that they are loved? Why does everyone “still have a chance” if success and happiness are inevitable? If you have such knowledge that you audit the entirety of existence and say it is “the way it's supposed to be”, and if you somehow have an interest in my life, why are you speaking in such unhelpful vagaries?

The more I consider these sort of ‘motivational’ statements, the more I wonder why anyone makes them.

> I've been arguing that Kant was wrong this whole time.

Whereas I am not? I'm just saying that immoral is not quite the same as bad, not according to Kant. It's a wrong interpretation of Kantian ethics.

That being said, every modern philospher ever who just as much as dabbles in ethics from John Rawls to your mom borrow quite a whole lot from Kant. You'd be hard pressed to find an ethics scholar who doesn't use Kant as a base. It's that important, and that you don't realize it doesn't really make you dumb, but it definitely makes you ill-informed.

All in all, suicide is always all the time an irrational thing to do, full stop. That we aren't merely rational beings and do, and say things that aren't rational but we try to justify anyway because of whatever hypothetical context we are in is a topic for another day, kids!

922 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8283 17:49

>>905 agreed totally.

I think a part of the motivation behind these kinds of "inspirational" statements is that the speakers themselves are often trying to convince themselves that everything's all right. Everyone has at least a few insecurities or fears for the future, and it's nice to think that there's some kind of power in the universe or logic that's protecting us or guiding us down a path. I've known a few people who were outwardly very positive and said shit like this but were inwardly miserable/depressed/anxious, and I think that's not an uncommon thing.

You happiness is an illusion. And your statements show that you can't accept reality. The only treatment I can prescribe is to stop what you're doing and start doing what I'm doing.

Thousands of fake online entities, being paid $0.50/hr to "organically" care by marketing teams who take orders from vice presidents who are told that they need to generate caring by the board of directors, who have all just read a white paper on caring written by a team of analysts who based their research on what turned out to be thousands of fake carers.

It's not a not that great franchise, it's a shit franchise. The initial movie that drives the whole franchise was absolutely shit. It's so shit that I'm so pissed I wasted approximately 90 minutes of my life on it that years later I will still post rants about it on the internet. Fuck.

>whether does it reveres genders or whatever

people are butthurt about this because it was super arbitrary.

people got even more butthurt when the trailer came out, showing that all the characters were stereotypes, essentially saying fuck you to the people who were hyped for it(people that thought female ghostbusters might be cool, people who like arbitrary diversity), and making the people who already hated it hate it more. Seriously, the black chick is a super racist "omg she so sassy and street smart" kind of character.

Convergence. Dumbphones used to have a dedicated DC input for charging, but after the advent of the iPhone (which came with one slot for both charging and transfering data), smartphone manufacturers decided it was a good idea to reduce the number of ports and inputs on a phone and started using the USB slot to charge phones. We've already reached the point where USB charging is reliably fast so it doesn't really make sense to arbitrarily go back to DC inputs.
