The Philosophy of the Gremlin: Embracing Life's Brevity with Unbridled Passion

Discussion

The philosophy of the gremlin is a unique and thought-provoking approach to life that challenges conventional notions of morality and purpose. Born from a sudden metamorphosis, gremlins emerge with a keen awareness of the fleeting nature of their existence. This knowledge, combined with their uninhibited nature, shapes their entire worldview and drives them to embrace life with an intensity rarely seen in other creatures.

At the heart of the gremlin's philosophy is a deep appreciation for the present moment. They recognize that life is short and unpredictable, and they refuse to waste a single instant on regret or worry about the future. Instead, they seize each opportunity for joy and excitement, living with a fervor that is both infectious and admirable.

While their behavior may sometimes appear chaotic or destructive to outsiders, it is essential to understand the underlying motivation behind the gremlin's actions. They are not driven by malice or cruelty, but rather by an insatiable desire to experience life to the fullest. Their lack of concern for societal norms and expectations is not a sign of disrespect, but rather a reflection of their commitment to authenticity and self-expression.

In a world that often prioritizes long-term planning and delayed gratification, the gremlin's philosophy serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of living in the here and now. They teach us that life is a precious gift, and that every moment should be cherished and savored. Moreover, the gremlin's embrace of their own mortality is a testament to their courage and resilience. Rather than being paralyzed by the fear of death, they use it as a motivator to live each day to the fullest. They understand that time is a limited resource, and they refuse to waste it on regret or self-doubt.

Of course, the gremlin's philosophy is not without its challenges. Their impulsivity and lack of long-term planning can sometimes lead to unintended consequences, and their disregard for the feelings of others can strain relationships. However, these challenges do not negate the value of their overall approach to life.

Ultimately, the philosophy of the gremlin is a celebration of life in all its messy, chaotic glory. It is a reminder that joy and meaning can be found in the simplest of moments, and that true happiness comes from embracing one's authentic self. While their methods may be unconventional, the gremlins teach us to live with passion, courage, and an unwavering appreciation for the gift of existence.

In a world that often feels weighed down by responsibility and expectation, the gremlin's philosophy offers a refreshing alternative. It invites us to let go of our fears and inhibitions, and to embrace life with open arms. Through their brief but vivid existence, gremlins remind us of the beauty and power of living in the moment, and inspire us to make the most of every precious second we have.

That's basically what Camus and absurdism are all about. And he described it on example of Sisyphus. Instead of giving up, crying or something else, one should embrace his suffering and, as each sunrise begins, start once again to push stone up. Not with hope it will end some day, but with hope he will push it higher this day, or he at least will try. Along the struggle, he can find his sense of life, observe his miracles.

Even the struggle towards heights is enough to fill a man's heart.

Also, I remember a Forrest Gump with the same mindset and views on the world with his quotes like:

Miracles happen every day, some people will disagree, but it is so.

And really it is so. One just should define what a miracle is itself. If one could just lower his expectations about everything, for example, just appreciate the view of sun after a week of rains, wouldn't he be happier in the end?

Or another quote regarding suffering:

Life is like a box of candies, you never know what you get.

For some this may be terrifying, for most probably. Constantly thinking "what if this", "what if that", "what if they don't like me" etc. One should just embrace it. Taste his candies no matter what.

Actually, it's kind of ironic that same sense, same ideas everywhere telling people how to live a truly happy life, and yet people struggle to find their own happiness.

I always tell people life is better as a raging pessimist 😁 if you expect everything to go to shit and not work out, then when they don't and they do (which is most of the time) everything is fantastic 😁👌

“My mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.”

Did mama or Forest ever bother to look on the backside of the box where chocolates are labeled by a guide?
