I like that everyone is joking with these funny quotes in the comments section of a video on such a deep philosophical concept. I think this is what makes us human. We all understood that if we start asking these philosophical questions, it will lead to despair. So we get on with our jokes and try to laugh whenever we can in this cruel and harsh world.

As much as I hate to say it, but that's the real matrix, we can view it either as a bad thing and a good thing at the same time. For civilization, this system assures us as collective beings to survive, but individually speaking it prevents us to reach our true limit. Like, not all of us are smart and got any clue about what to do and what not to do next, those people are saved by the system. On the other hand, there are those who become way too unsure than they need to because the system tells them to do exactly as they said. To me it's not absurdity at all, it all makes sense. But do I pity them ? Yes I do. Why ? well call me an optimistic Nihilist, to fully take advantage that life is meaningless is to treat life as a literal blank canvas that you can do anything you like and face the consequences of your own actions. That's true freedom, things that not all people have.

To find meaning, you've got to find love, passion, for something, for anything. You've got to find purpose. If you can't find those things, then make it your purpose to find them. Unfortunately many people find neither of them in life, but by deciding not to live, they end the only change that they've got.

As someone who stared into the deep abyss of despair and considered ending it all a couple of times in my life, I am grateful I didn't go through with it. My life philosophy has matured over the years and nowadays I think it would be classified as a mixture between classical nihilism and Camus's take on existentialism. Against the universe's indifference and lack of meaning I choose to live my life as a middle finger to entropy itself. Even if nothing we will do will remain life itself took a gamble and went through with it. And if life itself lacks meaning that just means we're given free rein to give it one. All things strive!

And that's why faith in the Christian God is such an important thing in Kierkegaard's philosophy. Everything came from Him, and to Him we are going, so our supreme meaning is to be in touch with God through the only Saviour, Christ. By obedient and dependent faith we see God's goodness, looking backwards, and may proceed with hope, looking forward. But looking to our present moment seems rather absurd, for we will only understand each day as we see it in the larger picture of God being glorified in our lives, if we live to Him. Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling is a great work, even if somewhat hard to understand, in this topic.

Nobody else can decide what the meaning of life is, unless it's for themselves. Nobody can tell you what the meaning of life is, because you have to find that out for yourself. Whatever conclusion you come to is absolutely true. Whether its completely nihilistic or religious, that's the answer. That's the truth. Sure, you can be influenced by somebody elses answer.

Its hard for us to understand, but human mind is still evolving and maybe one day we will be able to not seek for the meaning or purpose, see life as it is and accept it.

So that whenever someone says "It's not fair, I never asked to be put in this world" they can't ACTUALLY make that claim. If you are an atheist or believe in any other religion, please no hate ok?

In my highest belief I think there is a bigger picture to it. Every single thing happened for a reason , and its just that we cant understand the reason of it. The meaning if life is surely not to chase behind a currency that we gave valued and named it "money" and to reach a standard called "success" that we gave standard to. There should be a reason , but the problem is to find what it is.

Sarcastically, selfishness is what perpetuates the absurd cycle of happiness and sadness. It propels the world to move forward. Without it, we will be truly meaningless. An intrinsic meaning of Humanity(or Species in general?) I can think of, albeit a pointless one, as it is a mere never ending cycle,is perhaps selfishness. To transcend that "meaning of meaninglessness", one has to learn kindness. But it takes time, takes so many reincarnations(XD if you believe so). And yet, not so many souls can relinquish the innate,raw, meaningless meaning bestowed/cursed upon us by the Universe.

Don't worry, there is a purpose in our lives. We didn't just randomly pop into existence into a perfectly functioning world, where everything is catered to us. We were brought into existence from our Creator Himself. The next question we gotta ask is whether that Creator had communicated with us, and what does He want from us, if there really is a purpose 🤔🤔

@@marsdriver2501 this question is asked a lot. Think about it this way, we can keep going back and back. But there cannot be an infinite regress. There had to be a starting point that caused it. Imagine this scenario: you want to ask your teacher if u can press the button, but in order for your teacher to allow you to press the button, he must ask his supervisor, and then the supervisor must ask permission of the boss. Eventually the permission of letting you touch the button must come. But if there's an infinite regress, you'll never get to touch the button. Same thing for the universe, there had to be a starting point. Now to answer your question "who Created the Creator". This is an oxymoron. Because the concept of creation is created BY the Creator. You cannot explain the origin of cause and effect through cause and effect. I hope this helps. Also here's a short clip you should check out: twitter.com/DrShadeeElmasry/status/1088904195338653697?s=09

A great episode💜

I've come to the conclusion that if life is meaningless, then I have the power/freedom to decide what's meaningful to me, like the people I love or a beautiful flower. That idea alone keeps me alive and hopeful :)
