Thread: Describe where you get meaning in life from. In one sentence

I know we have to wonder and be curious. But I dont think we should spend life wondering why we are here, instead of living it.

So yeah, if that isnt a meaning of life then there is none.

Every fiber in my body could not disagree more.

You can do both. It seems ovbious (to me, and I dont mind being proven wrong) that there is no answer to 'why are we here?' Unless you believe there is a greater purpose for life (but then what would be the purpose of that?) But needless to say we ARE here so there is no harm in finding individual meaning, eg How am I to make the most of this utterly mind blowing, fantastic opportunity that is life. If you don't ask that question of yourself, I'l bet you arent living life to it's potential.

Well, I think I didnt word my response properly then. I meant that I have no need to question this stuff, because I see no need to finding out why I am living on Earth. To me, thats living life to its full potential.

I'm going to meet someone special in my life one day and we're going to live happily ever after.

Believe me, I of all people know this.

This precious ride I peddle through and I'm so scared I'll be reduced I brake my way down the lane, down that steep alley that calls my name, and i keep so many trinkets, fragile little pieces of experience I twist to lasting happiness until finally it dons on me that the only thing I really want is speed and I drop those pieces to the ground as life takes hold to what I've found.

nothing really, ive never really had something really important that kept me strapped in and eyes open for THE MEANING OF LIFE. most of the time i just find distractions to keep myself occupied

now i mostly drink a lot because it's the secret cheat code to make it all matter, (its a long term solution)

i just read nietzsche, so i know what i'm fucking talking about.



that wasnt a single sentence, deal with it. i probably blew your mind anyway

Nietzsche said that drinking is the secret cheat code to make it all better?

No he said anyone who was truly intent on improving their lives shouldn't take a drop of alcohol nor set foot inside a church because pain is the greatest teacher and alcohol and church are two ways to hide from pain.

Interesting

So what life means to you is that it allows you the opportunity to drink and distract yourself.
