If you could boil life down to 3 essential truths, what would they be?

1. we know nothing since we cannot remember who or what we are..
2. there is no good or bad, we are just experiencing another state of existence..
3. weed, peyote/dmt, etc

Laugh More
Embrace Adversity
Things are never as good as they seem & things are never as bad as they seem

1. Physical reality far exceeds everything we are able to come up with. (Sensory perception, Religions and Beliefs)
2. Sadly most people are unaware about themselves and their surroundings. (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Neurology, Human behavior, Sematics etc..)
3. Hapiness is a self induced state and it's not something one can archieve through the pursuit of success.

There is much more to it but I had to limit myself in order to stay on topic.

Don't lie, cheat or steal.....and don't deceived by those who do.

I think life is all about maturation of the soul.

Much like cannabis it requires nurturing and care throughout it's lifetime to produce fruit.

Maybe not truths but.. fuck,don't give a fuck,don't get fucked over

Death
Taxes
Weed (to deal with the former two)

life
death

How did I miss this thread?

1) From womb to tomb ... we are essentially alone.

2) Life is not as simple as we crave it to be.

3) (presented as a Haiku)

Life is just not fair.
I grow old: this once-loathed truth
now brings great solace.

Corollaries.
1) I have had nothing to steer me from the belief that our ability to face and accommodate 1) is a basic measure of our psychic health and capacity to be happy in our lives.
2) We desperately want to have Someone to tell us the Rules. Imo the thirst for religion, astrology, homeopathy etc. etc. stems from this great need to know that Somebody is minding the store. Nonetheless, I refer the interested reader to the consequences of 1).
3) Mercy trumps fairness every time. The Zeroth Commandment is be right, but the Zeroth Corollary is be kind.

These are my articles of faith, from my mind and my heart. cn
