Balance. And the acceptance of the loss of control. Trying to know the meaning of life is just another way in which humans seek to take control. Knowing the meaning of life can never be experienced while living, just like "a knife does not cut itself or teeth don't bite themselves"

The meaning of life is the variation caused, perceived, identified, qualified and oriented to the idea of questioning each one. As well as the collection of denials that allow us to elaborate the certainties that do not fulfill the very definition of the meaning of life. We are able to say what your senses are but not being able to define what is in fact and whether the fact belongs to the first definition. We can confabulate the allegories that narrow and are delimited by the norms of the written language and its orality. And somehow, to raise new questions and narratives with these doubts and to understand the scope of the neglected variation because we condition our habit in "yes" and "no". Imagine or recognize that the doubt about life is what defines all the senses and not our attempt to find a rigid and delimited look.

Wendy, 42 answered 4 years ago

Our over-evolved human minds want more, but unfortunately there is nothing more. And if there is some deity or malignant devil, then you can be sure they’ve hidden any meaning pretty well and we won’t see it in our mortal lives. So, enjoy yourself; be nice to people, if you like; but there’s no more meaning than someone with surgically-enhanced boobs, shopping on the net while eating a Big Mac.

An interesting way to contrast the internal and external views is to imagine walking through a beautiful landscape. Your purpose in walking may be just to get somewhere else – you may think there’s a better place off in the distance. In this case the meaning of your journey through the landscape is external to the experience of the landscape itself. On the other hand, you may be intensely interested in what the landscape holds. It may be a forest, or it may contain farms, villages. You may stop along the way, study, learn, converse, with little thought about why you are doing these things other than the pleasure they give you. You may stop to help someone who is sick: in fact, you may stay many years, and found a hospital. What then is the meaning of your journey? Is it satisfying or worthwhile only if you have satisfied an external purpose – only if it gets you somewhere else? Why, indeed, cannot the satisfactions and pleasures of the landscape, and of your deeds, be enough?

Some folks say “what is the meaning of life?” is a dumb question, and we should basically shut up and stop asking. A certain amount of modern academic philosophy seems to be currently part of this camp, which is likely part of what accounts for their overwhelming popularity. (Yes, that’s a joke.) Their basic idea is that asking about the meaning of life is something like asking “what do triangles smell like?” or “how tall is math?” In other words, there are silly questions. Folks think the question of the meaning of life is something like those. (For what it’s worth, we think they’re silly. But we wanted to include it here.) There are other folks who offer a similar answer, but for different reasons.

Pan, 26 answered 4 years ago

The meaning of life is whatever you want it to be. Do what you want. Nobody can answer this for you. Nobody else should answer this for you. You figure it out for yourself. Want to hang out with friends? Great – do it. Skydiving? Go for it. Naked snowskiing? Hey, whatever cracks your walnuts. Setting the world record for the longest session of underwater butt-yodeling? Have a blast.

How do you feel right now?

tired, exhausted, under pressure

Nicolas, 22 answered 4 years ago

I am grateful for what I have already experienced. Still, I always think there's more or I'm missing something....

Aashna, 22 answered 4 years ago

Disappointed. Trying to be hopeful. I’ve been applying for jobs since the end of December and have been rejected from every single offer. I am a college graduated professional with 10 years of experience but because of my age and nationality, I am not an interesting enough candidate.

Eli, 31 answered 4 years ago

Ever played GTAV? You know Trevor? The guy who wants to murder everything with a pulse? Kind of like that. I was informed that despite me wanting to go through a surgery that might turn me into a free man once again, there some bs “criteria” I have to fit into, and if not, I'm welcome to perform impressive feats in gymnastics, and even if I do fit, it's going to cost quite a bit, forcing me to go into the kidney harvesting/serial killing business, loan rates are insane, so I'm paying three grand for every ten I take. I took thirty. Survival is expensive.

Dimis, 23 answered 4 years ago

Ok, just ok. Stress has gotten alot to me lately, because of school, and tbh life in general. I've been worrying about covid lately because my immune system has been pretty bad for q couple of years now, and nobody seems to be taking things seriously. I had quite bad anxiety when I was younger, and alot of those feelings came back a few months ago. I'm doing a bit better now, but it's still not great. And I've been kinda empty lately? Idk how to describe it. I'll be with my friends, and I just feel invisible. Nobody really notices me, no matter who I'm with. And if I'm actually involved in the conversation, I get teased for various reasons. It's just not fun anymore talking to people.

Rebecca, 25 answered 4 years ago

I am feeling exhausted. I need to lie down and sleep. A dreamless effortless sleep. That rejuvenates me. Or transports me, into a different land. I am feeling tired and fed up and I want an outlet. I have so much to study and I realise that all these pent up emotions can be channelised into studying. But somehow that is not happening. Which is adding on to the frustration. I am tired of being alone. Of fighting. Of existing. I am scared; of loneliness and the fact that even in all this time I haven’t grown accustomed to it. I should have befriended it by now and grown comfortable with it, found solace and happiness in it. When will that happen? What if it never happens?

May, 24 answered 4 years ago

Nowadays, the incertainty of the future. It is scary. The perspective of being alone is stressing me out.

mae, 26 answered 4 years ago

Maja, 25 answered 4 years ago

Losing people I care about. The times in my life that caused the most pain was when I either had a broken heart, or someone I cared about died. I can handle most things fairly well, but loss is particularly hard on me.

Vince, 34 answered 4 years ago

Our suffering comes from our denial of our divine nature, our lack of appreciation of our connection to all things, our resistance to impermanence and our addictions and attachments to things that only bring temporary relief.

Humans To end .. so the ‘world’ can live

Aashna, 22 answered 4 years ago

The world needs to understand the boundaries that define politically the “human being”, so that we can understand the emergence and gravity of our actions, negligence and consequences. The world needs to be aware that natural resources do not last forever, as this would allow us to develop adequate and bio-available consumption. The world needs to know that the closer to the inexhaustible is natural resources, the more protected we are from ourselves.

Maurilio, 40 answered 4 years ago

Kindness. Softness. Stillness.

Maja, 25 answered 4 years ago

The world needs more men and women who are humble enough to realize that planning their own lives is a full-time challenge and are therefore not foolish enough to think they can plan the lives or the economy of millions of others. They don’t regard the central government as the highest authority. The world needs more men and women unafraid to take responsibility, adult enough to accept accountability, courageous enough to speak truth to power, and smart enough to express gratitude to others when they deserve it.

Maja, 25 answered 4 years ago

Who am I, really? What worries me most about the future? If this were the last day of my life, would I have the same plans for today? What am I really scared of? Am I holding on to something I need to let go of? If not now, then when?

How does it feel to be alone?

I guess for me feeling alone is feeling complet . don‘t you like to be alone sometimes? next to the sea w some music…

aleksa, 20 answered 3 years ago

peaceful

Nicolas, 22 answered 4 years ago

Being alone feels generally great to me. I love being alone, spending time with myself, not having to live up to anybody's expectations. It’s freedom to me. Calmness. Being lonely though hurts a lot especially when you are not actually alone. There is nothing more isolating and heartbreaking than feeling lonely in a room full of people, especially if those are people you love and trust. Family and friends.

Maya , 23 answered 4 years ago

Engulfed with thoughts. Growing each second.

Aashna , 22 answered 4 years ago

Depends what you feel with.

Maja, 25 answered 4 years ago

It feels like being hungry when everyone around you is readying for a feast. It feels shameful and alarming and over time these feelings radiate outwards, making the lonely person increasingly isolated, increasingly estranged. It hurts, in the way that feelings do.

Lily, 24 answered 4 years ago

A deep connection with myself. Being alone is a natural thing but only through this one can explore her/his own personality better. I think we should all learn to be alone more.

Maja, 25 answered 4 years ago

The gift is life itself and the life of the people / animals we have close to us, whom we love.

Dan, 34 answered 4 years ago

The greatest gift in life is our ability to love. Not in our capacity to receive it, but in our power to give it. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
