Picking chrysanthemums along the eastern fence,
gazing in silence at the southern hills,
the birds fly home in pairs,
through the soft mountain air of dusk.
In all these things there is a deep meaning,
but when we’re about to express it,
we suddenly forget the words.

To live meaningfully.

Experiencing positive emotions, appreciating one's friends and family, cultivating useful skills, contributing to something larger than yourself, and accomplishing your goals are all meaningful things in and of themselves.

Even with the eventual heat death of the universe it will forever remain true that human beings lived, fell in and out of love, and ate ice cream sandwiches.

Live meaningfully.

That thought comforts me as well. The fact that beautiful things existed at all seems enough even if they will all disappear in the end. I have a nightmare sometimes about an eternal hellscape that the universe turns into and it bothers me so intensely that just everything disappearing seems nice in comparison.

"*" doesn't mean "whatever you want it to be", it's a wildcard character that matches every string.

If anything it has to be interpreted as "anything", not exclusive to what you want and that "", meaning there is no meaning is just as valid as anything else.

There are no purposes in death, only for the living to reflect and use the carcass as fodder

Being a yuppie is actually self-abnegating since you must respect hierarchies, observe culture, play a role, etc. No matter how great your success, it is only success through and by others, practically being destroyed and absorbed by the world like the proverbial cog in the machine. Whereas you cannot buy yourself, cheat yourself, kiss yourself, punch yourself, toward God, but can only know yourself, literally, thereto and therein.

Sometimes it's pursuing knowledge. Sometimes it's being friendly. Sometimes it's suffering for a long-term improvement, or to shield others from suffering. Sometimes it's carefree socializing. Sometimes it's fulfilling your perceived duties. Sometimes it's taking care of the young. Sometimes it's criticizing bad people. Sometimes it's watching cheap entertainment. Sometimes it's learning about yourself. Sometimes it's silent thought.

So these things in reasonable proportions, but don't try to synthesize them into a single "way of being."
