When you realize there is no point, only then are you truly free to live for livings sake, and not to serve some imaginary point.

Working toward objectives and goals is fine in your career. But don't confuse the motivations of the current human minds with the motivations of an entire universe.

Hey OP check out 'The Conspiracy Against the Human Race' by Thomas Ligotti. I bet you're man enough to read it. Spoiler though: it will not make you feel that much better.

In a nut shell: life is horror, but there is no escape (not even death will you free you).

A taste of what you'll get:
“For the rest of the earth’s organisms, existence is relatively uncomplicated. Their lives are about three things: survival, reproduction, death—and nothing else. But we know too much to content ourselves with surviving, reproducing, dying—and nothing else. We know we are alive and know we will die. We also know we will suffer during our lives before suffering—slowly or quickly—as we draw near to death. This is the knowledge we “enjoy” as the most intelligent organisms to gush from the womb of nature. And being so, we feel shortchanged if there is nothing else for us than to survive, reproduce, and die. We want there to be more to it than that, or to think there is. This is the tragedy: Consciousness has forced us into the paradoxical position of striving to be unself-conscious of what we are—hunks of spoiling flesh on disintegrating bones.”

>>614304005
For me my idea for the meaning of life is in two parts.

Hedonism and Compassion.

Basically, go out and feel good experience pleasure in life and make others feel good and improve thier lives.

For me thats it.

also, feeling good motivates you to do things. Good doesn't have to mean happy, but a drive, or anything. Yea it's kinda pointless, but it feels good, feelings give you a point. We're not entirely eternal, it's weird to face, but it can be done.

Life is weird like that OP. I know it's pointless, but whatever you want to call it, I like to do stuff. I may not be happy, but I feel good.

for me its personal developement and the search for real freedom. i just buried my mother a month ago and will now go for a trip around the world, with barely any money. i start where i live and drive through europe and stop at the near east. then i will fly to india, because i want to know whats it all about being spiritual. maybe i will learn something.

and after that i want to start my own company. just because i do not want to be a fucking employee my whole life. and yes, if that means i will fuck up more than 10 times, so be it.

i dont think life will go out bad for you, if you dont give up and want to reach a goal that you set for yourself. drive keeps me alive. and the best things in life are not the ones you own, but that own you.

>>614304680
Well yeah, the animal brain is an amazing organ. But lets not get carried away either and invent entire realms and behaviors to make us supernatural all powerful god beings just because it makes us feel better.

We have enough work to do fulfilling our very real human potential making a better world for the people that actually do exist here in it, without spending all our time trying to fix worlds indiscernible from our imaginations.

what i've come to figure is that life has no meaning other than what you give it. If you become a gluttonous narcissist, or a giver, its your choice. after you die it wont bother you. but considering the premise that other people deaths will be me eventually, i'd prefer to make the most of mine.

>Whats the point of living if we're going to die?


Pretty sure its for the whole refinement-evolution process.

Our life experiences teach and build or degrade us.

Since we are essentially just electrical current/energy, all of it is increased, or decreased accordingly and when we die (if that's the route you choose to go) that energy is thrown back into a central "mix" where it is again reprocessed and refined and dependent on said experience is reincarnated at another point in both time and space as a degraded, or built up form of what we currently are.

This is how "gods" and "demons" are made and destroyed.

Think of it as if you could build up your own blood cells and purge the ones that simply will never perform as needed.

lel that is a childish outlook on reality

OP here, at the end of the day I think we're all on the same page in this thread. It really comes down to the fact that we are in the rawest from sacks of meat, but the other fact is that within that sack of meat is a brain capable of feeling senses of compassion, drive, and self purpose just to name a few. All of these senses conglomerated together is what gives us the feeling of being alive and allows us to say things like "I think the purpose to life is.....", all I know is im fucking 20 years old, relatively attractive, and for now on im going to do EXACTLY what I want in life, fuck as many girls as I can, make people laugh, and make a purpose for myself from nothing. then one day, I will die.

The way I see it OP is that the point of living is to live. You can do that anyway you want, behind a desk, climbing mountains, fucking girls. It doesn't matter as long as you are alive. Throughout time on earth all life's purpose is to just live. Fish at the bottom of the ocean swim through darkness to just find something to eat so they can live

The issue is that we are more civilized than fish and other animals. We create societies and with societies we begin to question the boundaries of life. We over think it, really.

I had a philosophy professor once ask me if I would rather be a happy pig or a sad Socrates. I said Socrates. He replied saying a happy pig's life is surely greater than a sad Socrates because both are alive and existing, but only one is doing in a way in which life is loved.

Look, I get pleasure from life in the ups, not so much in downs, but life is what you make it. If there's really something about existing that you aren't compatible with (this doesn't include simple mental illness like depression, schizophrenia, etc.; we can still help you get the most out of your experience) then you have a right to kill yourself, but it's just such a waste. Once you see death for what it is (and being a /b/tard, I'm sure you have) and you accept your unimportance in the universe, then you can have a fun time with what you have. Make the most of it, and don't dawdle on your mistakes, because we all go to sleep in the same place.

>>614307358
Its a different kind of content that conciousness and the shell-game of thought offers. Something more than nihilism which is the truth of our existence. People do kill themselves, but its hardly a dent on the grand puppet-show of humanity.

One more Ligotti quote (hes a beautiful writer):
"Accepting the preceding statements as containing some truth, or at least for the sake of moving on with the present narrative, it seems that we are zealots of Zapffe’s four plans for smothering consciousness: isolation (“Being alive is all right”), anchoring (“One Nation under God with Families, Morality, and Natural Birthrights for all”), distraction (“Better to kill time than kill oneself”), and sublimation (“I am writing a book titled The Conspiracy against the Human Race”). These practices make us organisms with a nimble intellect that can deceive themselves “for their own good.” Isolation, anchoring, distraction, and sublimation are among the wiles we use to keep ourselves from dispelling every illusion that keeps us up and running. Without this cognitive double-dealing, we would be exposed for what we are. It would be like looking into a mirror and for a moment seeing the skull inside our skin looking back at us with its sardonic smile. And beneath the skull—only blackness, nothing. Someone is there, so we feel, and yet no one is there—the uncanny paradox, all the horror in a glimpse. A little piece of our world has been peeled back, and underneath is creaking desolation—a carnival where all the rides are moving but no patrons occupy the seats. We are missing from the world we have made for ourselves. Maybe if we could resolutely gaze wide-eyed at our lives we would come to know what we really are. But that would stop the showy attraction we are inclined to think will run forever."

>>614307905
No question, it does keep us from going haywire. And it is a 'noble lie' in the socratic sense, but what people like Ligotti are arguing shakes the very foundation of a lie being 'noble' in the first place. If the truth of existence is absolute meainglessness then every attempt to "find meaning" is nothing more than a way we can try not coming to terms with the groundless dread of existence.

Imagine how sweet it would have been if we either a.) never existed at all, or b.) had no conciousness. Alas, here we are - thinking beings. Sucks to suck.

There is no set meaning of life. Instead of crying and complaining about it you should enjoy your youth. None of it matters in the end anyway, just cap yourself on your 30th birthday or something.

You may even find something to live for by then.

>>614308483
pretentious b.s.

When "great souls" die, we lament for a duration of time equivalent to the manner by which they affected, or influenced us and if they are not blood related, it generally doesn't exceed 24hrs.

ie. Stephen Hawkins die tomorrow
The world laments
The papers print articles and stories for a month (maaaaaybe) telling us what a genius he was
we all sigh and it passes
a week later no one even remembers who he was, if they don't read an article, or watch a program that is capitalizing on his death.

That's life.
Its not about being happy, its about living. When you die that's it, no afterlife..nothing. Enjoy the in-between because what comes next is nothing.

Personally I'd much rather be a "meat sack" for a short period of time than nothing at all

>>614309330
"Sad" but true.... get it

>>614304005
To alot of people, this is just common sense.

You're not deep or inspiring. You're existential. Nihilist perhaps.

And no one cares.

It's all about your point of view, and if you choose to hold on to that one... Sucks for you.

Just because we're not born with purpose, doesn't mean you can't make your own.

In a world, a universe, where our actions mean practically nothing to the whole... to me is really freeing

Think about it, nothing you do matters in the end. So there's no reason to worry and you should just do whatever you WANT to do, cause you only get one life, love it for you, and fuck everyone else.

>>614304005
Because we don't know anything beyond our own experience, it's probably best to have a "while I'm here, why not?" kind of attitude.

A girl is naked and spreading her legs, she wants you to have some fun with her. Why not.

>>614309879
I didn't say go fuck people over did I?

No I did not, I said fuck everyone else, meaning YOUR priorities should be the most important ones to you.

Those priorities could include helping people.

What fuck everyone else means is.... Don't do things just cause that's what you're told/expected to do.

To enhance your own existence for the time that you are alive, i.e. enjoying shit. Yeah were wired to expire after a set amount of time, but you still have that remaining time to say fuck it and enjoy whatever the fuck you want to do. I personally want to an hero but i know it wouldnt be wise and that there will be no divine 'floating' into heaven or finding my place in the cosmos, just cold, dead, and fucking forgotten. So i decide to make the most of my shallow existence on Earth. Yeah were sacks of bones and meat, but we still think at a higher capacity than any other animal on this planet, and to that mere fact, you really have to reconsider how amazing it is to be you, rather than some insect eating a 3 day old shit.

>>614304005
Whats the point of dying later when you're alive now? Whats the point of looking in the future when its not real? Whats the point of crying over your past when its so far behind you?

tl;dr

If you see no point in living, then you shouldn't live.

>>614310145
And when those priorities don't include helping people you live a very shallow existence.

If you believe you are this enlightened about how simple and malleable the human psyche is then I present you with two options:

1) kill yourself because you will never climb out of that depression hole
2) be like the rest of the world and buy things that make you happy and do things out of your own conceited and egotistical nature to make you feel better about yourself.

Happiness > depression
Ignorance is truly bliss

If thats not the absolute truth I dont know what is. Can we discuss this new theme in society of people posting stories on facebook about how they fed a homeless person today, just so all the so called "friends" on their network can see how much of a "selfless" person they are? ENOUGH, WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE AN OUT OF IT ATTENTION SEEKING BITCH

you need to look into buddhism or jainism

or at least volunteer to work in a burn ward or soup kitchen or someplace where you will actually get to observe true human misery...and do some real good

it would get you out of your own head and any problems or feelings or inadequacy or hopelessness--or angst--would just e.v.a.p.o.r.a.t.e.

THIS. Its amazing how people admire people who post videos of themselves giving homeless people money on youtube. I will admit, some of it is out of good heart. But now its started a theme on social media of everyone pretending to care about other people just so they can get likes. it pisses me off so much... im OP btw.. and im not going to try and convince you.

well i dont know really, but the next step for me is financial freedom. being free to do what i want and not to have to work for a living. also having my own firm.

also i dont think freedom equals absolute independence, because independence breeds lonelyness. we as humans need others in one way or another and in our civilisaiton there is this tendency for everyone to be more independent. but living together and accept eachothers flaws and even embracing them is giving much more than taking away from it.


of course there will always be people you will want to avoid and you cannot choose your family. but if you're 30 and you are not at least on a good road to satisfaction and lust for life, than its your own fault.

what is freedom? i think we are all free to do what we want already. but limiting beliefs hold so many people down.

I'm just an intellectual and I'm atheist
Science is my rifle, Intellect is my blade.

Allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

mark my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

>>614314985
I was just discussing this today with a friend. Everybody has freedom they just don't beleive it nor realise it. We live in a world that is full of traditions like marriage that shouldn't even exist in my opinion, and other social norms that more all intensive purposes are "required" to be happy but in actuallity just purpetuate false freedom. instead of conforming to tradition and the idea that you need to fullfill all these imaginary requirements to be "happy". Do exactly what YOU think will make you happy. follow the tradition of not following any traditions is what I say.

You have to derive meaning for yourself, anon. I figured that since enjoying hedonism myself does very little to influence others' meaning of life, I might as well enjoy earthly pleasure

yeah what i learned in life is that most people are idiots, but everyone wants to force their way of life down your throat, though theyre not even happy themselves. listen to them, smile, nod and do whatever the fuck you wanted to do anyway. i stopped listending to "everyone" a few years ago and started my own way and ive never been better in my life.

havre my gf's ass for the nice conversation.

>>614316565
According to the definition in the hands and arm, I conclude that to be a dude.

Well OP and all in here. I have only one reason to keep living. My life will end one day yes but what keeps me from giving in to this overpowering depression that haunts my everyday life is one simple little thing. That someday in the future, my peepee will feel good. so the next time you think life isn't worth living, remeber how good your peepee had felt before, and look forward to the next time It does again.

just fucking have some fun, fuck some people, or do some drugs, or play some video games, fuck... just do what fucking makes you fucking happy. Jesus fucking Christ it's like you fucking people need a fucking reason to fucking breathe. Just be who you fucking want to be. Hopefully it's someone that doesn't murder people, so that you can stay out of prison, so you can keep doing the fucking shit that you like to fucking do, fuck.

gt bitchez, smoke weed, get rich, tahts the goal

>>614317525
Peepee poster here and honestly, what I'm saying it true. survival of the species is what life is. Passing on genes and making babies. All organisms do it to survive because that's all we know. Just because we have higher cognitive abilities than other species doesn't change anything. Give me a break about all of this finding and knowing yourself bullshit, in the end just have kids and be happy knowing your bloodline is being passed on at least once more. All happiness is met with disparity and all that's left after we die is the next generation of people to do the same thing. Without immortality there is no reason beyond making your peepee feel good.

>smokes so much weed he forgets to gt bitchez and get rich but doesn't care because smoking weed

Step One, educate youself: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_crisis

Step Two, deal with it: http://m.wikihow.com/Deal-with-an-Existential-Crisis

Everyone has these moments, kiddo. Just one of the shittier parts of becoming an adult. And because I'm not feeling like 100% of dick tonight, the meaning of life is (spoiler alert) happiness.

If following your heart/passion/fetish/whatever makes you happy, then do it.

Of course, this means within reason. If it makes you happy and harms no other (such as pedophilia, bestiality, yada yada) and is sustainable (unless you're RDJ, blowing several grand on hookers and blow every night isn't a promising investment).

TL;DR: do what makes you happy unless it causes harm to another being. But if you wanna OD, go for it.

>>614306447
where you from OP ?

>>614318599

and whats wrong whit this?

don't get me wrong, i have the same kind of shitty thoughts as you have, maybe worst... but, why do you thing that animals just for the fact of the way they have their own journey you think they have no really deep and meaningful experience?
maybe they are a more developed beings than us, maybe because they don't a have a shitty ego that tell them stupid shit all the time the are actually happy... something that you obviously don't know or maybe you just forget
