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 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?
@neverendingParadise4061 That is an interesting point of view. Everything was created, so it can work together without any effort added. The nature is facinating. It is difficult to say if the creation of human being was intentional or not. I myself believe in the evolution, not in god, however the truth still isn't confirmed, so any theory can be true. And that doesn't respond to the question, how we appeared here? Who created us? Who sent us here? Did dna in a comet flew down to earth? Is there something similar to earth somewhere in the galaxy. And how old is the civilization we live in? So do you think someone or something created us and the whole system around it, for a reason? It is true, that it sounds like too much of a coincidence for it to be random. I mean finding out the truth behind all of this is why we have science, that is what is able to move us forward so much, the curiosity, the greed, the desire for knowledge.
@neverendingParadise4061 Hmm, and what is meant by the worshipping? Do you mean like the devotion to what is written in the Quran? And sinners who are not punished in their whole life. They will get punished after death? I can understand why a higher being wouldn't care about relationships at all. I am curious if this being has a reason for what he is doing, if he just wants to protect his creation and wants us to learn to live with each other without any ill manners. Evolution cannot be tested in a lab. Yeah that makes sense. No one is better than nature in this aspect. You need variety, you need changing weather, landscape, animals around you and just yourself and your creativity. Even if we build in some time an AI, who is able to go through an evolution for many years. It would need to live among us, to get to know the wolrd not just a lab and people in white coats.
@La5ky great question. So worship means to follow what the Quran says and the practical example which we call the "sunnah" of the prophet. (Now don't think about what the media tells u.. I will tell u of a site where u can order your FREE Quran if u r in the US..and read it for urself), to the best of our ability cause ofcourse we r going to make mistakes but our creator is so merciful that if we ask him for forgiveness, he forgives us. We have a direct connection with our lord.. I don't need to go to a Christian pastor who is a human like me to confess to my sin. I can ask my creator directly.. you pray to him directly.. etc. Now, he created us so that we do his worship because of which he enters us into his paradise which has no death.. no sadness, everlasting joy.. but as for those who robbed, stole, took advantage of people or oppressed them.. those allah will punish them with a punishment they can't imagine.
@neverendingParadise4061 Islam is definitely interesting religion. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I will look up more about it. It is interesting.
@neverendingParadise4061 Paradise which has no death.. no sadness, everlasting joy.. So islam doesn't believe in ressurection?
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 ? 🤔
