how many peeps here are looking for the meaning of their existence? how many are disheartened when they cant find it?
why bother going to all that trouble when YOU can decide what the point of your life will be. noone told me that the point of my life is gonna b to help people recover from traumatic mental illness. i made it up. that is the point of my life. and i intend to do a damn good job at it. the point to our lives is not yet written, like our future. so think about what u want to do with your future. its your choice and dont let anyone change it.
now here cones the irritating phrase that i would expect from my head of house, and not me. make the most of your life. do what u want with it it is yours and yours only. dont let people own you. God knows i made that mistake but i fixed it (sort of)

(((selfy))) I truly believe that you have to be looking for it to find it, or to see it when it shows itself.

lol. people often fault analytic philosophy. they say you start out trying to find out the meaning of life, then find yourself trying to find out the meaning of meaning, then find yourself responding to a footnote by Gareth Evans...

that being said... i basically came to the same idea.
meaning is a feature of two things only: language and thought.
it simply isn't there in the world to be found.
human beings create meanings
by engaging in things they find meaningful
so there is little to be done but try and figure out the things that give meaning to your life
and figure out the things that you find meaningful
