You wondered why life is meaningless. What is the meaning of popping up into existence just for the one to live “suffer” for few years and then vanish forever!!! it is meaningless.
I am an atheist so no heaven or hell no after life, sometimes I think of how wonderful this life is, yes I can try to find some meaning that can keep things rolling to the end, but deep down it is meaningless.
Well, let say life is inherently suffering and meaningless. Ask yourself then: Why would I make the suffering worse by my own actions?
I also don’t believe in God or an afterlife for that matter. What I do believe is that is better to act as if a god exists.
That puts me in the spot right in the middle where I have 1 leg in the Order (that which I know) and Chaos (that what I don’t know)
Personally, I don’t think life is meaningless. Everything you do or don’t do will affect the people around you. You are a node in a network of people. You know 100 people over the course of your life, they know 100 people. That’s 1 person away from a million. That instantly makes all your actions matter
IMO meaning is to be found in the continual improvement of the individual. You have the potential to be so much more than what you are now.
The search for where your potential end will last you a lifetime.
