What should one dedicate his/her life to?

I mean ultimately it doesn't matter (from my perspective) if I do x or y.

Why or how do you find something to dedicate your life to?

the pursuit of happiness, yes happiness is just some chemicals and currents on the subunits of your brain but what else are you going to do? be an emo about it?

>>3518949

Because most of the time what we think we want, we don't reeaally want in the end. Ask any psychologist.

In answer to OP, serve something that is bigger and better than yourself. Yes, it's all going to end no matter what. But the fact is that there isn't a single thing wrong with that. It would be a crime to NOT do anything and everything we are capable of, simply because we are capable of doing it, and that is an incredible anomaly.

>nihilist

Punching this brick wall has as much meaning as not punch this brick wall.

But I don't feel like punching this brick wall and will instead lay against it, which has as much meaning as not laying against it.

>existentialist

Should I punch this brick wall?
Is there value in punching this brick wall?
Does punching this brick wall means I'm setting the predicate for others?
Should one be defined by their choice to punch this brick wall?
Am I being compelled by anything or anyone to punch this brick wall?
Oh, my freedom to punch this brick wall or not punch it produces so much anxiety!

>absurdist

There's no inherent meaning in punch this brick wall, but I'm going to punch it anyway because I find it meaningful.

Fuck the universe! Go me!

>existentialism means we give some inherit meaning to the universe,even if it's self imposed, Mr. President.

Even if you wrote 'inherent', which you didn't, your statement would be problematic in at least two ways, both relating to the subject - object relationship: If the meaning of the object is imposed by the subject, how it is 'inherent' to the object? If the subject imposes meaning on the object, how is that self-imposition?
