My life is potato.
lifes too fucking short and useless.
god just gave you a toy to play with until it wears out.
some people will come and break or rip your toy apart.
you will fix it and make it better by every way possible in the future.
we are just here because its our time.
theres no faith.
you draw your own path of your own life.
go comit some innocent crimes like graffiti.
make some art or music.
learn a language.
escape the police while as a kid for memories.
do whatever you want. you are going to end under 6ft of dirt anyway.
someday we will be forgotten.
our name will be not remembered, ever.
so, fulfill your dreams while you can, my friend.
die without saying "i wish i did that..".

There's actually a book (or a set of books all made into a tome) that explains what life is. Most people won't understand it, unless they learn what some of the symbols and allegories mean.
I'll leave it at that.
I'll leave it at that.
Probably to do something every day that makes the day not feel like a waste. Like spending time with someone or make progress on something.
The meaning of life is to plant a potato and wait for it to grow into a banana.
big fan of absurdism myself, in very broad strokes it says life is inherently meaningless but like that's cool you got to live despite that
42 lol give me an award im funny
okay tbf the hitchhiker's guide to the universe is a really good bookYmir wrote:

Besides leaving your legacy behind for the other people, I think there is no reason as to why we're here whatsoever. Nevertheless, it is very beautiful that we get to experience feeling and being something.

Imagine thinking you're so important in the universe your life has meaning.
Idk god put you on this green hell so you might as well show him that you survived in it or something idfk.
life is like a video game. you wake up and you do some activities like school or work and when you go home you take a rest and sleep at night. it repeats like that forever.
so is life just a simulation? Is life meaningless? no it has a storyline 💀

Why not? Life does have inherent meaning, you could make the argument that we are all here for the reason the propagate the species.Kolmas wrote:
Objectively doesn't exist
again, nihilism and absurdism disagrees with that notionhyperastro wrote:

nhilism is the 2nd biggest cop-out after religion it's a attempt at hyper-rationalization which imo fails miserably. There are no true nihilist on planet earth, because you would just die. on the other hand absurdism at least Camus interpretation of it, is actually not bad at all. but I would rather not confine myself to a set dogma.Patatitta wrote:

The reason I argue that reproducing is a inherent meaning of life is because if you look at it evolutionary, single celled organism exist only spread through meiosis. we humans just managed to develop a complex enough brain where we experience the phenomenon known as conscious which allows us to do other things. Now just because I do believe that reproducing is a inherent meaning of life does not mean that I believe that you should solely focus on it.
Damn I'm failing both of those interpretationsSlowpoke1135 wrote:

Just because life is meaningless doesn't means one must just... die, if anything death is just equally meaningless.hyperastro wrote:

What I want to say is life really shouldn't be bounded by empty promises and looking at non existent "meanings".
Mountains are being climbed because mountains are there. You don't need "meanings" to live a subjectively fufilling life.

Yes, but you are now already treading onto absurdism and not true nihilism. Why would a truly nihilistic person bother going to the doctor if they are sick? they are going to die eventually anyways. Why would you suffer getting treatment for your diseases? if life and death are equally meaningless why not just die and avoid the suffering treatment might cause?
And no you do need meanings to live a fulfilling life, they don't have to be religious but you do need something even if it's just because you want to keep on living.

"accepting meaninglessness/nihilistic view" => "dying to avoid suffering"?Even if you consider this being the strict definition of a nihilistic view, when discussing about the former part it really is shared between nihilism & absurdism imo

Maybe a disclaimer:
Not trying to force my view onto others, everyone has their own ways of viewing life and should strife to live their life however they want, but I'm just trying to express my view when I see the title of the thread 🥴

It's not a strict definition of nihilism, but rather a possible interpretation of it. btw sorry if I sounded like a dickhead while talking to you it was not my intention. thank you for contributing to the conversation.Kolmas wrote:

I can't fully control my life, nor I would try to anyways, I let things and events walk their way.
I meet "friends" along my way, it's happy being able to chat with them, even play with them. However, I know that this moment will soon fade away.
I don't like how my life is, but I like being able to interact with people I meet. Strangers to me, but they at least sparked something in my life.
I find it strange that I care more about other ppls' lifes over mine.
