PREFACE
I'm going to start this post by saying that I don't know if there is something spiritual to life, to be honest. It just seems by now that everything is simply brain neurochemistry, and reality as we understand it is just a way of perceiving it, a representation, but not the real thing. This is why different states of brain neurochemistry can give rise to different ways of perceiving reality. Nonetheless, as the Blackpillers you all are, I think you all benefit from knowing that life is all about the way we interpret the perceptions our senses receive. Nothing more.Beyond any perception we can have about the world and ourselves, what truly matters in order for us to liberate ourselves from suffering is interpretation. It is very curious when you think about it... What all of those philosophers and writers have been doing all of this time is to basically write the projections of their beliefs, the ones built upon experience and the biological aggregate: body, brain, sex, genes, and all of that. For me, this is what we call the "ego." The ego is a collection of two aggregates: we have the biological one, and all of our experiences, the experience aggregate. Experience includes thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensations, and beliefs. These two factors "play" between themselves, one changing the other.
The lies we tell ourselves
If we live then in an universe devoid of purpose and meaning, then everything rests simply in the interpreations we make of reality.
= "Life is a fairy style". = "Life is war". = "Life is a cruel horror story".
What are these? Delusions of a mind that believes its suffering is highly important; egocentrism. Life doesn't care, nor does it care about you. To care or to not care is just simply an idea made by the human mind. Life is and just is. Through meditation, we learn to see the world exactly as it is. What does this mean? To see the world devoid of mental ideas and mental constructs which cause suffering. Do you think good and evil, chaos and order, and all of these dualities existed previously to us humans developing awareness and intelligence? Obviously not, they were all highly occupied fucking each other 24/7 to be thinking and shit. They just existed and saw reality just as it is, completely aware of the present moment. In a sense, our ancestors, previous to developing consciousness, were enlightened in their own way.
Life is not brutal, nor is it brutal. Life is not cruel, nor is it cruel. Life just is as it is, and believing a different thing is egocentric. There is no sadness, there is no happiness, there is just different states of brain neurochemistry based on the interpretation of the sensory information we receive from the real world. What if there is not such interpretation or intellectualization of whatever happens to us, which is what Blackpillers are basically doing all the time? We won't suffer, as suffering arises from the interpretation we give to situations. No interpretation, no suffering. Our ego is responsible for attaching labels to everything: "My life is brutal," "It's over," etc. Your life is not this, nor that. Life is just as it is. Suffering, complaining, and frustration are just a waste of biological energy and induce a lot of cortisol within your body. This is not optimistic, nor is it pessimistic. This is just a fact.
Life is life. It doesn't need you to attach mental constructions to it based on your experiences. Suffering because of pain is and always will be an unnecessary waste of energy. The key is to stop being egocentric and believing that just because you suffer, you are more important. You are not. Chad is not better than you, nor are you better than Chad. You are all both mental constructs with a different set of aggregates which induce states of neurochemistry of pain and pleasure in different quantities. Nothing else.

What follows?
Start meditating and realize your true essence: nothingness. You are not any voice withing your fucking head. Just let them be. Close your eyes and be in silence. Did you even decided to talk and tell yourself "I'm the most ugly motherfucker on Earth". No, it was just your ego talking for you. If you keep living on that shit you will never truly be free to experience reality as it is.
Feel everything the most intensely you can. Become angry, become happy, what I am telling you to do is to experience a fucking lot of different states of neurochemistry you can in order for you to realize the illusion they have played on you, that you are something. No, you are not. Use imagination and music to access whatever fantasy you have. Train your brain man... Use it.
CONCLUSION
You are nothing. It is the ego—the aggregate of biological phenomena and experience in all its forms—that observes and listens. Moreover, it is the ego the one who is aware that it is the one who observes and listens. Everything is perception and, consequently, interpretation. Consciousness is no different from any and all the other ego processes; they arise in the physical brain. As consciousness is only the ego perceiving itself then it cannot be spiritual, for it is only a physical process arising from matter and energy interaction. True spiritualty—if it exists in the first place—simply lies beyond it.
Intellectualization of problems concerning human suffering is nothing more than a waste of energy at the biological level just like suffering is. In short, there are things that need to be experienced through the mental process of perception of perception arising from the ego—what we call conciousness—to be understood for what they are. Here's where true pessimism lies: this is hardly accesible for the common human.
If what we want to find is something beyond all perception and understanding, then, consciousness and intelligence are no longer sufficient then.
Does it even exist in the first place?
In the end all patterns repeat themselves, all human archetypes and symbolims repeat themselves because they are influenced by biological phenomena and the agreggates of experience, feelings, emotions, and knowledge. No one has ever existed per se, what exists are the mental creations that they have made of themselves, an unique combination of biological phenomena and the previously named aggregates. That's why maybe we are all unique in some sense. The lie and the illusion that we all tell ourselves is that this human archetype is permanent, but we are not noticing how all of the previously named things are influencing the creation of new archetypes within our lives. We all live them and experience them until we break our attachment to them by realizing our true nature: nothingness.
Each of the consequent identities derived from the experiences traversed by this archetype derive in a set of needs and attachments to things and people. The ego arises in its clinging and asks: “Then what am I, what am I, what do I do?". Nothing. There has never been a need to do anything in particular, nor to be anything in particular. That is the illusion to be broken, that we are the attachments, the needs, and the desires; we are not that because we are not anything in particular. The truth is that we don't need to be anything or do anything in particular to be happy and complete. Remember your true nature: none. In one identity you cling to this, and in another you cling to some patterns of thought. Thoughts come and go—come and go to convince you that you are this and that and therefore you have these needs and these attachments. You are nothing, simple realization and consequently disappearance of needs and attachments.
It's possible you have exited countless times in space-time; other humans who possibly shared the same aggregates and biological phenomena ended up thinking in the same way as you think. Behave exactly the same, and everything you want to think about.
That's when I asked myself the question: "What am I then?". I told myself: "You are simply nothing! Stop clinging to all these identities". There is nowhere to go, there is nothing to do, there is nothing to be, there is nothing to nothing.
That's all, nothing.
TDLR: SUFFERING IS UNNECESSARY NO MATTER THE PAIN! A WASTE OF ENERGY! REALIZE YOU ARE NOTHING TO BE COMPLETELY FREE!
