When you stared into the abyss... did it stare right back at you?

[Still-alive]

When i stared into the abyss the abyss definitely stared back at me

When i looked into the abyss... no one or nothing stared back... to my knowledge anyways

I have not looked into any abyss so far...

When i looked into the abyss, the abyss did stare back but i still won the staring contest!

Nah, Nietzsche was full of shit! Mel brooks put it best in History of The World Part 1, in the unemployment scene :
”State your profession!”
”oh, I’m a philosopher!”
”Ah, a bullshit artist eh? Well did you bullshit last week?”
”NO”
”Did you TRY to bullshit last week”
“Yes”
”Will you try to bullshit next week”
“Yes”
”Ok, here’s your unemployment!”
You can stare into any abyss until your tits fall off, it’s not staring back, because it doesn’t have any eyes! It’s just an inanimate void! Philosopher’s try to speak above the common man, so they appear to be speaking great profundity, when they are quite literally full of shit, and don’t know any more than the average person… they just know a lot of big words that impress the un-inteligencia.

I spent quite a while looking for that, gave up, then ran across it just now. Oflaf is weird, and generally NSFW. https://www.oglaf.com/archive/

Oh, it sure did. It stared into my soul.

[Yucy_Gluttony]

OHUE ya it does. It talks, it tempts you. But we're smart enough not to listen and give in to it! When it stares back at you... You glare at it!

[DeadlyCreed]

I voted D because Nietzsche was an idiot:

There’s more to life than sex and power

We never killed God, in rejecting him we begin to kill our own soul
Thank you :)

Nope nothing looked back just a bunch of thoughts and future outcomes I've worked out that will happen get shot back into my head

I stared into the abyss & there was nobody there to stare back at me. It was empty.

Does looking at inanimate objects that appear to be alive count?

[Xtendable]

When I stared into the abyss, it got intimidated and avoided eye contact

[Snsl153]

What abyss? What are we talking about here?

[Cherry234]

I haven't stared into any abyss.

[DonkeyDan]

When I stared into the abyss it winked at me...

I've always associated this quote with suicide.
