This thread might be a little bit pessimistic.

Life is generally meaningless, let's be honest.

Humans are victims of their abstract thinking and imagination, seeking meaning in meaningless.

Everything I do is meaningless. Studycelling things that I don't actually like just to get into some university to continue studying this crap and later wageslave for some company that doesn't give a fuck about their people, work for 40 years and then continue being miserable untill you're eventually dead. Everything about you will be forgotten, only a few people will remember you, but realistically I won't have those.

And the worst thing is that I'm not frightened by that. Perspective of living such a miserable life doesn't scare me.

I have to study for an exam, I don't find any meaning in it and my life is not really in danger since I'll pass it with above average score anyway.

The only thing I want is meaning.

Alright, venting is over. I'll go study this bullshit.

How to even cope with that?

Religion works for some. Others cope with drugs of various sorts (prescribed or not), food and porn (or actual sex if you’re lucky) to forget.

the more you think about how meaningless life is the more depressed you get since there actually is no meaning but if you don't think and think about literally anything else it will seem like everything has meaning at least that's how I do it

The thing is that at some point life becomes so ‘difficult’ that people just don’t have time to think about muh meaning and just try their best to ‘survive’.
There probably is other way in life, just need to find it.

I cope with gratitude knowing my life is at least better than a lot of people out there.

Strongly recommend you guys watch Prison Documentaries and listen to some of the stories those
Inmates have to share it will give you an almost immediate sense of gratitude and motivation to
keep persevering.

Zelensky is a good comedian, to be honest. That's his best role. Who the fuck let a clown to rule a country?

I watched some TV series where he participated, a really good actor. But the fact that he rejected today's offer from Putin is his huge mistake.
 
You suffer because you take seriously what the gods have made for fun.

Meaning of life is the simplest and the obvious of all, it is just to live.

Yet you see everyone rushing around ‘trying to find the meaning of life’ in a panic not realising nothing it’s not necessary to live beyond themselves.

Looking to define yourself is like biting your own teeth. Your only goal and objective when observed from the universe’s POV is for you to be in moment, in the here and the now.

He definitely is dependent on the strongest party. It's funny that all conversations lead to politics.

Great words!
 
I cope by living in a fantasy (escapism). I'm completely alienated from reality at this point and have retreated into a fantasy.

But if you were given a meaning then you would run into the problem of not enjoying your assigned meaning. Therefore there are many meanings to life but we just need to find one and stick with it.

I'm trying to not get too deep into philosophy, honestly.
I've read some of his quotes and know a little bit about his philosophy.

He describes exactly what you are typing here: life is absurd.

Viktor Frankl believed that meaning arises spontaneously. In other words, meaning is not something you actively search for; it arises when you do something that you enjoy or are qualified for. There are people that found their meaning in helping others, dedicating their lives to religion or building a family. They were not very focused on what the meaning of their life was. They just went out there and did something productive. Consequently, the meaning of their lives became self-evident.

I feel like a lot of normies convince themselves clubbing and drinking are meaningful activities to be remembered when in actual fact, deep down they are copes.

Never felt meaningless, always had Islam. Everything done is with a purpose and has consequences inevitably which can be good or bad for oneself depending on one's actions.

Have you ever questioned religion deeply?
I used to be an Orthodox Christian, got 'over' it; looked into Islam, but now I think of religion only as a way to cope.
If I'm wrong and God exists, I'm willing to suffer, but I honestly don't believe in that.
Good for you, man.

Yeah definetly. I'm probably the person who has studied the most religion on this place but it's not good to brag about it independentlh of the knowledge because there is always something to learn and i'm still learning

Russia. So I was born Cristian; I didn't come to religion in any way, it was always the reality for me.
Waiting for your thread, it might give me a new perspective.
