Does Life has any meaning ?
@NotFound20
For me, I take the Nihilistic approach to life. Life has no inherit meaning but that doesn't mean that we can't apply meaning to it. We give life its own meaning. So that mean whatever you believe is valuable you do it. I think instead of questions everything and why we exist, we just go with eh flow and live life.
Even if we go with the flow. Life still feels empty. Like whatever we are doing it doesn’t make any sense to me.
@miakitten9123 This is what I would answer as well. Does life have to be associated with meaning? What if life's purpose is that there is no meaning but the meaning we should find within everything we interact with?
@NotFound20 Life has meaning if you search for a meaning. Otherwise, i believe it doesnt have anything attached to it
Yes thats the hard part searching for that meaning and not knowing what you are looking for exactly
@NotFound20 i still have problems with it too. sometimes i get too overwhelmed just thinking about it. i totally understand you!
Me too. And another thing freaks me out that even if I find something meaningful today , it may not remain meaningful in future.
There are various things which gave meaning to my life once but not anymore. I find it totally useless now 😑
@NotFound20
We are the only ones who can give a meaning to our lives
For me life is like the myth of sysiphus. We are forced to push a rock uphill everyday only for it to fall down but we choose our attitude toward this task, we find our own meaning.
@NotFound20 hi.. do you think there is a purpose behind why you are here?
I am not sure but there should be. Otherwise our lives are just happy coincidence of nature . Doesnt feel right .
@NotFound20 ofcourse there is a purpose behind your creation. We just did not came to be coincidentally. There is a higher purpose for why we were created. Like think about it.. if it was all for money.. why do the celebrities and the Rich live a depressed life and end up suiciding. If you become the most successful,the most rich, the most beautiful woman on earth.. then what? Is that what life is about? Ofcourse not! Do you understand what I am trying to say?
@NotFound20 Do you think that life has to have a meaning? In my opinion being alive is just being alive, there is no reason behind it. I ask myself this often too. I think everyone wants to have a purpose in life, to feel that he belongs somewhere, to free himself from himself. It never is simple journey, simple answer for a simple question. I personally haven't found it. I feel empty inside often too, sad and lonely. But you know what, why would you need to carry the weight of the entire world. Try and struggle as others say. I think it is important to learn how to be a little irresponsible, to be a little selfish. I think the best way to learn about life is through experience. Of course those are just words and the reality is often much tougher and different, from what anyone says. Also I don't think it is wrong if you won't find any meaning in life, any purpose. Many people won't, and many of them are still able to lead fulfilling lives. Just flow with it and try to find a few seconds of happiness each day. The thing I currently want the most is to be able to forgive myself. I am not able to, but if it ever happens, that will probably be the moment, when I find a solution to any of those impossible questions. It will probably be something simple, as it often is.
@La5ky I believe there is a purpose of life.. we can discuss it on chat..feel free to text me privately
@neverendingParadise4061 I am quite interested in your opinion. Could you send me a message? I don't understand how to send a pm on this site. :D
@La5ky I just realized.. I don't know either.. so I guess we can just chat here so others can benefit as well
@La5ky As an adult, you cannot message a teen listener, unfortunately.

@La5ky so let me take a step back.. I believe that we didn't come coincidentally.. god created us for a purpose. Like think about it, how can this perfection in the earth and solar system come from nowhere.. like you breathe in oxygen.. and give out C02 but plants do the opposite. Look at yourself, a perfect designed human being.. you don't have to think about your heart beating.. it just beats.. when u get a wound.. ur body starts repairing itself on its own.. do you think all of this came from random?
I think about my pets when I wonder the same thing. They bring me joy. I bring joy to someone else, even though I don't understand why. You bring meaning to others around you.
What about leafs which grants food to insects, shadows for creatures and refresh our air.
That's a great meaning for just a leaf, but what if I told you that you are the one who planted the whole tree, Is that still not giving your life a meaning ? 🤔
