    Once you know that life is meaningless either you become a little enlightened or angry about it.

    You are missing the point.I dont agree, because that would mean you are just living in a material physical sense. You are more than that.You can experience deep joy and connection in the simple act of survival.and kind compassionate interaction to your fellow humans animals and mother earth. In fact its this connection in gratitude that allows us to survive in a constant state of enlightenment and honouring and caring for all things. Not this anxiety driven mode of survival that the corporate giants are exerting on us which is all about lack and needing more. Rather live in soul spirit connection to God, knowing your purpose is to love and live in gratitude even in the simplest of tasks.Even if you are sweeping floors for a living.

    I think there is a purpose of life that why we are here in this human form with such level of intellectual. The purpose is to end this cycle of life and end where we trap ourselves in this life. We should look for a way out of this trap to reach salvation and end miseries we are facing in this world.

    The quote "Beware of those who try to sell you simple answers to complex questions" is a warning against oversimplification and the dangers of reducing complex issues to simplistic solutions. It is a call for critical thinking, skepticism, and a willingness to embrace nuance and uncertainty in our understanding of the world. In today's society, we are often bombarded with quick-fix solutions to complex problems. Politicians, pundits, and self-help gurus all promise simple answers to complex problems. For example, a politician might promise to solve a country's economic woes with a three-point plan or a self-help guru might offer a ten-step process to achieving personal happiness and success. However, such solutions are rarely effective and typically only address the symptoms rather than the root causes of the problem. The reality is that complex problems cannot be reduced to a single issue or solution. They are influenced by a wide range of factors, including social, economic, and political forces, and require a multifaceted approach to address them. Reducing complex issues to simplistic solutions ignores the complexity of reality and can even create new problems in the process. Moreover, the search for simple answers can also lead us to ignore or dismiss alternative perspectives and information that challenge our worldviews. This can lead to a dangerous and damaging polarization of society, where people become entrenched in their beliefs and refuse to consider other ideas. Therefore, it is essential to approach complex questions with an open mind and a willingness to embrace nuance and complexity. This means engaging with diverse perspectives and being willing to challenge our own assumptions. It also means being comfortable with ambiguity and uncertainty and recognizing that there are often no simple answers to complex questions. In conclusion, the quote "Beware of those who try to sell you simple answers to complex questions" is a powerful reminder of the importance of critical thinking and the dangers of oversimplification. By embracing nuance and complexity, we can foster a deeper understanding of the world and find more effective solutions to the complex problems we face.

    When we're born we looking for food not purpose, I think living with or without purpose is the same , purpose is being yourself and do what you want to do in your life , you only live once experience thing that you never experienced before , purpose is like an accomplished or mission if you want to make you happy etc. Or maybe do your best or greatest that when you died the world will cry happy and world will remember you because the great things you did

    asking about purpose of life isn't always so personal. i always wonder what is the purpose of life of a child who has been abused and starved to death from early childhood. a poor, uneducated child who will never leave some desert to know anything about the world, music, art, literature... or millions of those who came before us who lived in a sense a pathetic life and never could even ponder on these questions. worked themselves to death and never got to even know about the world and science..

    I want to fall in some kind of satisfied state of mind. Everything should be unimportant, everything should be unspecial. I should not want a purpose. Not a special one either. It so hard for me to accept that I'm not special in anyway at all. As a kid I always felt different from others... Special. In the end... I'm just disappointed ... Sad about my egotistical thinking... That I would be better than others. My heart is broken and I feel like I will never truly accept this way of thinking. So the best I can do is suffer forever🖤

    Eureka! I've found it, the secret to life's purpose. "The body" is you but you are being controlled by someone else that is the "mind" or "soul" and when you die, it will have your memories but you (the body) will forget everything, you only live once so it is the "soul" or the "mind" that will have your memories and live on while you are gone for existence forever. So it is all for your "soul" or "mind" the life you live will be it's memories and it can share your life's story to other "souls" or "minds" so live your life in a way where it can be remembered and shared. 😁
