So all this began when I was in high school and I was very confused on what to do in life(career etc). After thinking for much time I realised what is this all about. I mean what is the end goal for whatever I’m doing. Is it like being remembered throughout history because that answer only makes sense. If you look at other answers by Albert Camus, Nietzsche, plato, Schopenhauer, Kante , Viktor Frankl they all seem to deliver absurd answers or answers that seem not convincing enough. Camus say embrace the absurd. Nietschze says create your own morals and values. Become a ubermench. These answer just sound good only. And before you tell me I know there is no such purpose to life . The purpose of life is to live it. Or you create your own meaning in life I get all of that before you comment these answers. But even if we take these answers. How would an individual lead life. What should he do if nothing even matters in the grand scheme of things. What career should I go in ? What should I do in life. After some thinking I realised that fundamentally every human wanna be remembered somehow or we can say all go for peak fame. Like that is what matters or you can dissolve your ego and become Buddha but again that is absurd too. Meditating your whole life for nothing. I have a very strong existential crisis and that is affecting my decision making ability to go in which career. What are your thoughts on this
