Life Is Meaningless and That's Okay

Record amounts of people are questioning the meaning today. I see no problem.

Is there a right answer to the question of life's purpose?

Pick your purpose from the menu

• From a biological viewpoint, the purpose or meaning of life is to reproduce, divide cells, and ensure the continuation of life. It’s how all living beings, including plants, are wired.

• From a spiritual viewpoint, the purpose of life is often to achieve enlightenment and awaken from beyond this material world, Maya, the simulation. Transcend the needs and desires of the body, and you are essentially a God-like creature existing on a higher plane.

• From a philosophical viewpoint, the purpose of life could be to acquire as much understanding of the world as possible and absolute mastery over yourself.

• From a religious viewpoint, we could conclude that the purpose of life is to live a good life, one that dear old heavenly dad approves of, and complete the journey to heaven. It’s essentially a competition for your father's favor and a struggle against your mortal desire to spend eternity in “the good place” instead of the “bad one.”

• From a strictly materialistic viewpoint, the purpose of life is to accumulate as much money and things as possible. There is no end, as one can always “win more,” which is why the wealthy never stop lusting for money—it’s about their purpose, identity, and what drives them. The hedonistic approach is similar.

• From a social viewpoint, the purpose of life is to scale the ladder and become the leader of men, the chieftain, or, if you’re more modest, to play your social part well. The need to serve might also be a part of social meaning.

The truth is much simpler:

The purpose of your life is what you choose it to be!

• Existence on this plane, in human form, offers endless games you can play.

• It’s up to you to choose those you find fun and meaningful and pursue them.

• No one can tell you what your purpose is unless you let them.

How do you know what is the best choice for you?

The only measure of success or purpose is how you feel about it.

• What would matter on your death bed?

• What drives you?

• What would be satisfied with your life and ready to end it, if you must without regrets?

“The purpose of your life is to experience, feel, learn, and do whatever you desire (are driven to).”

The only counterargument I can think of is if you believe your life and purpose have been preordained before your birth by some higher power (God, fate, the Universe…).

But even then, how would this elaborate power, your creator and designator, tell you what to do with your life since you didn’t come with an instruction manual?

Through intuition, desires, needs, personal preferences, abilities, and inclinations.

Which ends up being the same thing.
