People keep telling me they want to kill themselves because their life has no purpose. I don't really see why it's necessary.

The human mind is designed to find purpose. If you don't see it this way, you are most likely an animal or a mentally ill person.

Because otherwise I'd kill myself right now, but I don't want to do that, so there must be a purpose.

>> No.19526582

>>19524577
There isn't a purpose if you choose for there not to be, it's up to the individual to create themselves a purpose.

>> No.19526593

your purpose is the will to survive and procreate, ensuring the survival of the species. its hardcoded in the DNA of literally every living thing on the planet.

>> No.19526621

>>19524645
I would argue that a more refined answer is that the human mind is one which conceptualize the idea of purpose rather than necissarily finds one. That is to say create abstractions between stimuli.

>>19525560
Wew, another intellectual who thinks hes just a animal right here.

>> No.19527460

>>19526593
I understand survival, but I have less than zero will, interest, or desire to procreate.
