I am in computer science and math right now and I always wondered why I lack the motivation to do anything related to it in my free time.
I understand the answer now
It’s because coding is entirely meaningless in the large sphere of things, you’re in class writing shitty ass code that servers no purpose to anything or anyone at all. All just for an artificial grade and number (money.)
I wish I can do something of meaning with my life, something that makes me feel valued in a community but the truth is nothing like that truly exists anymore. If it does exist, it usually doesn’t pay nearly enough for a sustainable good living.
I feel so motivated when it comes to doing something for others, even if it’s just a stranger I oddly feel almost obliged mentally to go help them if they need and ask for it.
I want to be able to help people, I want to be seen as kind of a saviour or a hero by people as cringe as that sounds.
The idea of dying whilst living a totally average life (let’s exclude family as a variable completely even though I understand thats a big cofactor for happiness and purpose) where you worked as a coder for your life is daunting.
I would rather die now but die knowing I did something meaningful like save a group of innocent people and sacrificed my own instead.
This post is going to get trolled but eh as cringe as it may be this is truly what I long for in life. I just want a family and I want to provide for that family by doing something meaningful for the society near me.
