    One of the little details that makes Berserk such a phenomenal series has to be the finale of Lost Children. The entire mini-arc has been focused on showing a young girl, Jill, struggling with the bullshit of life, and being tempted to throw it all away and become a demon to escape those hardships. Guts shows up, does his demon-slaying thing, and towards the end Jill is completely overwhelmed by everything and begs Guts to take her away, anywhere is fine, just let her escape from the struggle she had to deal with in this village. However Guts tells her that there's no paradise to escape to, there will always be another battlefield waiting for you, and as he walks away into the morning mist, he tells her to return to her battlefield.
    What makes that moment so touching is that Guts doesn't belittle her struggle. She's a 14-ish year old girl, struggling with poverty, an abusive father, and a neglectful mother. Meanwhile Guts is an adult who was raped as a kid, had an abusive adoptive father he accidentally killed, has been constantly fighting in wars and battles for his entire life, got betrayed by his closest and most trusted friend, watching as all his companions were torn apart by demons, and lost absolutely everything. His struggle is just on a completely different scale to Jill's, she doesn't even come remotely close to the level of suffering Guts has gone through.
    And yet, he treats her battlefield as no different than his. To her, this is the most agonizing fight she has ever dealt with, and so he treats it with the same respect that he treats his own struggle. Even if the specific actions they are dealing with are on completely different levels, emotionally, they both feel the same, and so to Guts there is no difference in scale between them.
    Even if one person technically is struggling more than another, we are all struggling, and overcoming that struggle is worth respect, no matter how large the battlefield is.

      I dont think this is an anti-nihilist meme. It's more like an ignorant one, I'm not sure what other word to use to describe it. It's a meme that encourages complacency and finding happiness in suffering. It may not be nihilistic, but it is a very pathetic and degrading way to think. Hopefully the meme dies off fast or evolves to actual thinking instead of whatever this is.
      To edit this a bit, I'd like to clarify that what I mean to say is, finding happiness in every bit of suffering you go through encourages you to allow needless amounts of suffering and can cause you to follow a dark path with starlight in your eyes. I'm sorry for the way the first half comes across. Consume your suffering responsibly...

    Sisyphus, after rolling the same boulder for so long, became bored and stopped rolling it. Hades, rather annoyed at this fact, came to him and demanded he continued. Sisyphus told Hades to make him and at that moment Hades realized that Sisyphus, after rolling an entire boulder for countless years nonstop, had gained the physique of the Incredible Hulk. Hades thought on this fact for a good second, and, with his Godly wisdom and cunning wit, decided to let Sisyphus leave and do whatever. Hades, watching Sisyphus shrug and leave casually, stared at the overbearing musculature of the man and, rather proudly, complimented himself and his well tuned survival instincts. A lesser God would of attempted to stop Sisyphus, but no- not Hades, for Hades knew that Sisyphus could absolutely fold him in half.
    Sisyphus would go on to casually walk all the way to Elysium somehow, bend the bars on the gates barring entry to the divine realm like they were paper, and enter. Nobody got in his way because, despite what Hades thought, everyone who saw him could tell that he a literal walking tank. And to this day he is there, indulging in the pleasures of the realm unimpeded, and still he is pushing larger and yet larger boulders. He found enjoyment in the struggle, more enjoyment than any amount of ambrosia could bring.

    One of the most important things amongst all of this is balance. How to become both sane enough to care about being alive, to maintain yourself both mentally and physically but at the same time mad enough not to care too much as even if one might try to give oneself a purpose one must be mad enough to do all over again like the Sisyphus himself as failure along the road will happen regardless if you have purpose or not and inability to recover from such failure will result in depression and death of ones human spirit.

      Tbh, I don't think there's anything wrong with giving up. Sometimes, the burden is just too much. Ultimately, it's up to everyone individually - whether you choose to live on or not. But there is power in realizing that. If you are alive, it is because you want to live. And that means you are free to choose a reason to live - you don't have to follow a set standard.

    That Everything Everywhere All At Once mention reminds me of the reason why it’s my favorite movie. Not only does it perfectly mix comedy and story, but the theme is absolutely incredible and could be useful for everybody. It’s one of if not the only movie I’d genuinely recommend beyond just “haha it’s cool go watch it guys”
    The theme essentially says that yes, there are so many universes where the world you live in is better; there are infinitely many universes where life can just straight up be better for you. But you have to remember that, although there are as many universes where your life is better, there are also as many as there are where you’re off worse. And even then, if you’re current life can be better, take a moment to look back, and view those small little moments where you do find some joy. It doesn’t have to be so big. Those little things in life can and will make you feel the happiest if you pay enough attention. If you can’t find anything, then go on and make it yourself. Go ahead and follow whatever weird and stupid interests you have, no matter how people react. At the end of the day, nothing matters, so why not be happy?
    The movie flips that last sentence on its head from being a depressing sentence to a hopeful one. It’s such a beautiful way to think and I’ve always had a similar philosophy. It’s further represented by the googly eyes that are used as a symbol in the movie and especially in the trailers. It’s a small thing, but it’s a really silly thing. Putting it on things makes you laugh for being so mundane. But that little moment of funniness is what makes life life
    Sorry for my tangent, but I just really love this movie and I think everybody, especially nowadays, could take a lesson from Everything Everywhere All At Once. It is a genuine 11/10

    The idea of fighting against your fate regardless of what it has in store for you is also demonstrated in Pathologic 2 and Jojo Bizzare Adventure specifically part 5 as fate is a major theme. At the end of the story a stand user named Scolippi explains how that all the characters that died in the part were going to die regardless but that the fact they revolted against their fate until their very end, gave their life a greater meaning. As he states,
    “So naive, do you really believe this is… the end? If only you had accepted the stone’s mercy, all would be peaceful. But you chose to remain enslaved to Fate. That which is carved in stone cannot be changed. Whoever you are, I hope you are ready. The perilous journey of hardship awaits. And for some of you… it will be the last one. I wonder.. are all of you like him? That young man flung himself off a tall building… all for a chance to save his friend. Perhaps… the path you are bound to walk isn't one of meaningless suffering. The adversity you’ll endure may well be the crucible of hope for another. And perhaps could be the birth of a greater purpose. Wishing for their safety will do nothing. I can only hope that they are Sleeping Slaves. That's it… Sleeping Slaves who will eventually awaken to discover some meaning in their suffering…”

      Another thing to add is that we can take joy out of sacrifice; we can put work and suffering in to create something good that pleases us or that we can share with other people, and then we feel happy on account of creating that happiness, therefore multiplying the amount of joy in the universe (this infinite renewable happiness glitch is the solution to the so-called "zero-sum game of life")

    Sisyphus is also mentioned by Nietzsche, it goes something like "one must imagine Sisyphus being happy". It's meant to represent the seeking nature of humans, what makes us happy is the pursuit, not the accomplishment itself, this is also backed-up by the neurology behind dopamine that's been discovered. Doctor Andrew Hubermann is a teacher at stanford and has a yt channel, a lot of his works is about this.

    I find the meme so funny because the original mythos of Sysyphus told the story of truly TRULY despicable king that everyone hates, that did horrible things to get the crown, and then when it came the time for him to die he managed to trick death TWICE for how cunning and scheming the man was, and was utterly punished for his crimes against both life and death by pushing that rock in an eternal and useless struggle.
    The meme basically somehow turns that story upon its head and makes it seem like Sisyphus was some kind of gigachad of indomitable human spirit lmao gotta love how even in modern ages we manage to be just like our ancestors and come up with our own versions of the myths

    I imagine Sisyphus happy because he has found meaning in his suffering. He knows that his task is impossible, but he does it anyway. He accepts his fate and finds joy in the struggle itself.
    I imagine Sisyphus pushing the boulder up the hill with a smile on his face. He knows that the boulder will roll back down, but he doesn't mind. He enjoys the challenge. He enjoys the feeling of his muscles working and his sweat pouring down. He enjoys the feeling of the sun on his face and the wind in his hair.
    I imagine Sisyphus as a kind of Zen master. He has learned to see the beauty in the mundane and the joy in the simple act of living. He has learned to accept the things he cannot change and to focus on the things he can.
    I imagine Sisyphus as a symbol of hope. He shows us that it is possible to find happiness even in the darkest of circumstances. He shows us that we can find meaning in our suffering and that we can overcome any obstacle.
    Sisyphus is happy because he is free. He is free from the illusion of control. He is free from the need for external validation. He is free to simply be himself and to enjoy the present moment.
    Sisyphus is a reminder that happiness is not something that is given to us. It is something that we create for ourselves. It is a choice that we make.
