A man buys some food for a homeless guy. Don't think that's ever been tried before.

That is either a mean to seek attention, or to look good, or if he is honest, to calm his conscience.  It's mostly good behavior for selfish causes, and not as morally righteous as it makes it sound.

Everyone can do that, but it's not really helping, it's not only making them dependant on others for subsistance. The truly altruistic thing to do here is help him get (and keep) his job, aka a constant source of money and therefore food and shelter. Of course, this takes much more than just buying some homeless man food, but good has never been easy.

You really want to be a do-gooder ? Fine. Just don't let your emotions overcome your rational thinking.

I quit giving a  sh** about society a while ago. I realized that life sucks. It is a curse to be born into this world, where your loved ones die and you could end up homeless. So then I figured, If life is out to make my life a living hell, why should I go along with it? Innocent people suffer everyday. And for what reason? No reason, thats what!

And then, when the going gets rough, people look to god, hoping that he can fix things. But I ask myself this. Is there really a "god"? I mean, If there was a god, he would just fix things, and life wouldn't be curse. In my opinion, there is no "god". God is simply, Hope.  It is planted in our brain that god can fix things, but in reality god is simply hope.

We as a humans WANT to belive that there is some, greater person that can fix everything. But unfortunatley, in this cold, dark, evil world that we live in, something like that is to good to be true.

Then why are you not killing yourself right now ?


Cause thats not who I am. Depression dosn't get to me. Depression is for the weak, and I am not weak. If the world wants to make me suffer, than I'm going to make others suffer with me. I have many dark and violent thoughts going on up in my head. Sometimes, those thoughts scare even me...

Even if it's someone as annoying as him, encouraging someone to commit suicide? No offence Naryar, and I know you're supposed to be seven shades of evil, but that's just wrong.

Aren't these two things a bit contradictory? Aren't you, by making other people miserable, essentially "going along with" the idea that life only serves to make life a "living hell?" Just something to think about.

My thoughts are a bit rambled too. Luckly, I am controled enough to keep all the anger and hatred inside of me. I rarley lash out at people. However all that anger inside of me, does take its toll.

Eggsactly.

I am not encouraging him to commit suicide, I am only pointing that suicide is the logical way when you're a honest nihilist.

Nihilism is a scourge upon this earth ! Hopefully, we have hope.

Hmm... since true nihilists kill themselves asap, I suppose you have a point.

Although if they kill themselves it's still a scourge right ??

It's good that he did that and all, but if it was done out of the sheer goodness in his heart, why did he feel the need to upload it on Youtube to get praise?

He's just another Jason Russell...

Honestly I was more moved by those Europeans with funny accents that did a cover of an MLP song for charity.


I gave them 5.5 euros, which looks to be about twice as much money as the guy spent on the bum.

I'm sure I'm overstepping my boundary saying this to you Naryar, but what gives you the right to say that what he did doesn't help. As far as putting it online, that I dont agree with, but have you ever thought that since there is so little faith in the human race that just maybe the homeless dont try because they dont see a reason for it. Even the smallest gesture helps it may be baby steps but you dont get to decide what helps a person or doesnt only the person being helped can decide to turn the little seed of good thats helped him into something worthy. Just saying...
