and what is this meaning? (better not be religious shit)

>> No.12754338

>>12754315
the meaning is doing whatever the fuck you want and not worrying what other people think. keyword "worrying" in the second part. you can still show interest if you want. it sounds cliche as fuck but that's literally it.

are you content? if yes then you don't need meaning, either because you have it, or because you can go without it. if no then you clearly want something that you don't have/haven't done, in which case try getting/doing that.

this is false, and the assumption that narratives played a large role in the purpose of people's lives is also untrue. "Great meanings" and its impact is purely conceptual.

you cannot argue for people's happiness or meaningfulness based on logic, the only reliable source material is literally asking ancient people about how they percieve their lives. And based on literature, I am pretty sure they thought life was as depressing as today. Only today we have the internet to endlessly circlekerk about "muh existential angst XD"

It is meaningless but the brain doesn't like unresolved meaning so you either inherit (religion, philosophy) or make (pursuit, craft) something to keep you too busy to bother with it
