Do things until you find The Things That Matter.

Means you have to try lots of stuff until you find the stuff you can’t stop doing.

I dont want to do anything

When I was psychotic in the past I was hyper focused on the meaning of life.

Today I believe that life is basically meaningless

I mean there are so many bad and evil people living the good life while so many good and caring people walk through life struggling and suffering.

Where is the meaning in that?

That’s the best time to go out and do something.

If that’s where you are then your choice. One thing I’d say is that I felt robbed of time when I had the same mindset

I think life is meaningless too. But for some reason it doesn’t bother me. I don’t think it has to have any “meaning” (whatever that is).

Life has meaning through a growth. When you start something,be sure that it would lead you somewhere,like art,creation,faith. Those things mean you are making difference…

I hope you’ll find your meaning in life,as life on Earth is wonder in every way.

I just think we have been indoctrinated to believe that ‘success’ is the meaning of life.

‘Success’ though is a narrow perspective in capitalist terms is what this means.

Most people have no clue what they are or what things inerest them.

They go to work doing jobs they hate and try to earn as much as possible so they can have a big house, nice car and enough moeny to spend on their kids.

If they get it then that is ‘success’.

These things come at a cost though.

No time to do anything, no time with family, soul sucking and demoralising, looking forward to the weekend to escape themselves even more with drugs and alcohol.

So is capitalism the meaning of life? I don’t think so, but we are led to believe it is.

Look inside yourself. Find what you love. Explore within. Create a life you love. Spend time doing things you love. Not to become rich or famous, but because you enjoy it.

Create your own meaning. No one else can tell you what it is.

Nature vs nurture? Do we have an essence or are we born without an essence? Is reality objective or subject to the subjectivity of the mind and human experience? Is the human condition real? Do constraints affect our goals creating a limiting reality? Do we think when we don’t get what we want that life has no meaning? Do we live in a government matrix? Is everything just a social construct?

life has meaning but I’m not allowed to talk about it.

I suppose I have moments when everything seems meaningless, but I’ve accepted it I guess.

Why does life need some big, greater meaning?

You can give “meaning” to your life with anything.

I guess I also just think enjoying life or whatever is enough.

The meaning I give to my life is to find joy, do things that I enjoy, learn

Helping others can give meaning to someone life too
