This is one of many things I think some days. Philosophy is valuable to me but there’s no answers. Where philosophy can’t answer, I just seem to fill in the blank with my personal thoughts.

I thought about teaching a course on Udemy about to achieve self-awareness through existential philosophy. But now I’m like “why did I even think that?”
I think the same thing oftentimes about life feeling meaningless.

Perhaps reading some of the existentialists would alleviate some of the suffering?

I don't know if it's therapeutic for you to read the existentialists but it certainly is for me. It's like they give meaning to my life somehow. I totally get how you're feeling though. Sometimes life feels meaningless, for sure.
