The point of life is to live life
If you are so smart why aren’t you satisfied and fulfilled?
You live by letting go of your need for meaning. Depth. Complexity. Frameworks. All of it.
There’s a reason most philosophers end up saying some variation of “the point of life is to stop thinking about the point of life and just live”
That’s because they drove themselves insane trying to figure it out.
Literally nearly all major philosophical and religious framework converge at this point of truth.
Why is that?
It’s because they realize it’s futile and it will not lead to a good life or make the world a better place.
In fact it actually multiplies suffering. It makes the world a worse place because you are more confused, emotionally unstable, unhappy and in an unfulfilled state.
The point of life is literally just to live it however you want.
As a good person
A bad person
Funny
Stupid
Smart
Hot
Fat
Rich
Poor
Building companies
Making music
Creating patents
Selling apps
Dating hot girls/guys
Starting a family
Divorcing
Finding love again
Etc
It really doesn’t matter what you want to do, unless it makes the world a bad place and spreads suffering.
But even then if that’s what you want to do you should do it. I will do my best to diminish your power if that’s the case. Expect consequences. But do it anyways.
I am not making a moral argument here for why you should or should not do something. I don’t need to know why something is bad to know it’s bad. It just is. So don’t be a bad person and then do whatever you want.
The point is to do it and be in full acceptance of what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and then giving yourself permission to enjoy it.
It’s that simple.
To own your desires fully. Whatever they are.
And be willing to do anything it takes to fulfill them for as long as you desire to.
Everything else is stuff we add on top to rationalize having feelings and taking action. And most of the time it’s just to feel like you have permission to feel a certain way.
Just give yourself permission to feel whatever you’re feeling and watch how much better your life gets
