Live your life its the point of living. not working all day in the best days of your life.

Your time its all you have. don’t waste it.

There is no purpose but to be alive, or rather, you make your own purpose.

what else can you do? we are because we am

I prefer not having a meaning of life.

Imagine having a real purpose. Then the question would still be “why”, but you’d also have that obligation to do.

While happiness might need reason, life doesn’t. I find that, in a way, we live in a probabilistic universe with enough attractors that allowed things to form. Among them were humans, now also building some things with/against the odds, and subsequent self-image/sense of importance.

You can still suspend thinking about the inevitability of death and inherent lack of meaning to feel or create something. It does require one to choose and get comfortable making choices that are beyond right and wrong (not in a moral sense), however.

I don’t know if there is one answer for why people can still feel happy despite it all, and I suspect there will be different reasons. One reason could be that they’ve just accepted the futility, focusing on what makes them happy. Or maybe they’ve accepted that pursuing universality/objectivism when it comes to subjective things is impossible. Or maybe even that no matter which option one takes to view life, one cannot escape delusions.

Learn. Evolve. Improve one’s mind. Understand more of the universe. Gain a greater understanding of one’s place in the universe. Grow beyond what we understand and comprehend existence at this point.

All I know is that I’d rather be here than not be here. It doesn’t get much deeper than that for me.

Welcome to adulthood.

The question you ask is universal. The answer much less so and in that difference lies the journey of life.

For some it’s about amassing as much wealth as possible, for others it’s about cementing a legacy. The pursuit of happiness is a common approach and to serve is yet another. Some seek solace in religion, others in hedonism. Some spend a lifetime searching, others exist and take in the experience.

For me it’s about making the world a better place.

Why does there need to be a point to it all. We exist, and we can set our own goals and create our own purpose in life. That’s what self determination is. Personally, I find happiness in doing things that I find meaningful or interesting.

It’s the everyday drudgery, miseries and annoyances that make the good times worthwhile. Just like you never appreciate the sun more than in a place that gets very little of it.

I currently live in a country that enjoys a very high standard of living and where people really do enjoy the good life. Yet weirdly enough, a lot of the locals are depressed and keep complaining. Why? Because they don’t realize what they have, because it’s their everyday normal.

As for what’s the point of living, if you don’t want to fall into the easy fallacies of religion, I suggest you simply enjoy your life while you can. You were born with a finite number of hours on this dirtball and they’re ticking away, so make sure you spend as many as you can with your loved ones having a good time. Because when the clock stops ticking, it’s over.

Because the alternative would be having no happiness at all.

The point is to pass on your genes.

Whatever you decide to make of it, which is an incredibly beautiful thing.

Cat videos.

I guess everybody will come up with different answers to that.

To me, saying “there is nothing after death” is a simplified model. It asks you to live in the here-and-now, to live in the moment, because that makes you productive today.

Of course, the world won’t end when you die. You will leave an impact on the world, kind of a track. Like, when water flows over a landscape long enough, it leaves a river bed. That will stay, even after the water subsides.

So in some sense, death might be your end, but it’s not the end. I don’t know whether that helped you.
