  • Constructive Nihilism, or my own spin on it, has helped me.

    Everything in the universe, including us, are nothing but subatomic billiards balls bouncing off one another. Free will isn’t even an illusion, but a delusion. Consciences may not even exist beyond a concept we use as a shortcut to describe ourselves.

    If you can truly internalize and grock those ideas, getting angry at a person, makes as much sense as getting angry at ocean wave. In fact your feelings of anger are internally nothing more than a few billiard balls bouncing in your own brain.

    It’s not perfect. I still get annoyed occasionally. But then I remember these facts, and suddenly the feelings of anger just go away as quickly as they arrived. They seem silly and trivial.









  • This isn’t what you’re asking, but it is what you need to know right now.

    If you’re having trouble with what DSLR, F-Stop, and ISO mean; You’re putting the cart before the horse. It won’t matter what camera you get, because you won’t know how to use it. The “right” camera for you at this point, will be the cheapest manually controlled digital camera you can get your hands on. Something used, that has an instruction/user manual for you can learn it’s specific controls. Then go online and find tutorials about how cameras work generally, and experiment yourself with your camera. Then if you can’t get the kinds of pictures you want, do more research about those specific kinds of pictures. After a while, you’ll know what your camera isn’t giving you, and be able to find which camera will.
