I have been there. from my POV there is no real purpose in life.. we are born and then we die.. what matters is the journey from birth to death.. you have to make it enjoyable..
There is no purpose since the end result will be the same…death. Some people can find meaning and purpose and others can’t. it depends on if your mind is strong enough to deal with the harsh realities that come with life.
nobody have a purpose in life. all this drama in life happens because people have to do something while waiting for death. as absurd as it sound, the purpose in life is to know that it doesn’t have any purpose.
I struggle with this daily. I have concluded that the purpose of life boils down to three possibilities:
I) there isn’t one
Ii) having a purpose… it could be as simple as looking after a pet for some, looking after a family for others, and so on
Iii) to find ones own meaning to life (self defined)
What I’ve mentioned is open for debate… different strokes.
Yup, different strokes. I’ve gone through a few interpretations of the reason. 1. Destiny will reveal it in time (yup, stupid me, i was young), 2. Fulfilling other’s expectations, 3. Being normal (as in forming a family, getting a regular job and trying to be happy), 4. Exploiting my talents, 5. There is no reason and everything is futile, 6. Pick one thing and devote to it while you can and when it runs out pick another one and so on. I even went into “i’ll devote my whole life to this person” mode for a while… luckily that ended quickly.
As of know i’m on a constant fight between 5 and 6 (which actually mix together pretty good), so i guess i’m on the “you pick your own purpose” side (i’ve been there since my late teenager years).
