So when....

When did you realize that the meaning of life was simply to live, because the existence of life is meaningful just by itself, and that all philosophy was bullshit?

That's not 'meaning' it is simply coping with meaninglessness

There's a reason why its called "mother earth." Nature is comforting like a mother.

Philosophy has nothing to do with "the meaning of life", cumguzzler.

That's simply existing and being an NPC. That's not living.

That's right: Philosophy has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with "the meaning of life". Read a book some time, pleb.

In Platonism, the meaning of life is in attaining the highest form of knowledge, which is the Idea (Form) of the Good, from which all good and just things derive utility and value.

Aristotle's solution is the Highest Good, which is desirable for its own sake. It is its own goal. The Highest Good is not desirable for the sake of achieving some other good, and all other "goods" desirable for its sake. This involves achieving eudaemonia, usually translated as "happiness", "well-being", "flourishing", and "excellence".

Antisthenes, a pupil of Socrates, first outlined the themes of Cynicism, stating that the purpose of life is living a life of Virtue which agrees with Nature

According to existentialism, each man and each woman creates the essence (meaning) of their life; life is not determined by a supernatural god or an earthly authority, one is free. (This is Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.)

Literally every philosopher has grappled with this. Get a grip.

Sorry amigo , its retarded you will eventually realize the meaning and purpose of humans is conscious union with god and you can only experience this ,its an inner realization of atman-brahman. .
You're atm in npc mode completely immersed in illusion matrix . I would help you out but merely telling one they are in a dream doesnt wake them up unless themselves realize this at the core of their being

if you are sitting in your room thinking about life that is not living

you might say I am wrong

good luck.

you will feel depressed and anxious

idk why we are talking about it then, sage

Living implies being conscious about what's happening to you and what you're doing.

[Anonymous No.14931369]

None of those apply to plants or non-human animals, let alone single-celled organisms.

Wrong. There are non-conscious lifeforms like algae and bacteria.

Last year, thanks to philosophy.
It's the logical consequence of Plato/Plotinus/Iamblichus/Proclus/Damascius.
If The One studied as first principle, we speak of him as pure Will, the will for everything to be. And this is the "act" and "being" of the One. But then I and the World, and all life, is the product of the longing of God, and it is our joy and suffering that is the very heart of the One's perfection. We are the Good's Good.
This is the beautiful mystery that Damascius beheld. The threefold One: which is beneath it, and beyond it, and is itself the Ineffable.

[Anonymous No.14931447]

But stagnating at home as an unemployed neet makes me really depressed and I believe it eventually makes anyone depressed in the end. You have to actually engage with the world in some way to extract meaning out of it. And there are better and worse ways to go about doing that. I don't think it's as simple as just living and breathing and being, although I wish it was.

you can't even understand that something doesn't need to be complex to be on the same level as something else. You lack critical thinking and the capacity to observe

>the existence of life is meaningful just by itself
life is riddled with meaninglessness, despair and tyranny. Empty platitudes and fucking tumblr wallpapers like your pic related do nothing to assuage the spiritual void at the heart of everything. Philosophy is therapy for those too cognisant for their own good. We can't all be blissfully ignorant cattle you know, some of us know and fear what the slaughter-house is.
