Have you ever asked yourself: “Does life have meaning?”, “What's the point of the universe?”, or “Why do I exist?” Recently I've been try think. of an answer to these questions and I thought what are your guys' personal beliefs in a subject such as this?
My take? I believe that life has no meaning, our lives are pointless, the universe is pointless, and our existence as a species has no purpose. Sounds pessimistic or nihilistic doesn't it? I may be a bit of a nihilist but I am no pessimist. On the contrary I also believe that if the universe is pointless then we give it one. We give our lives our own meaning, our own purpose, a purpose to exist as a human being. We give our lives a reason to exist, and that's why I live day by day doing what I do. I accept that my life and life in general has no meaning, my life has no point, and I am here for no reason. But does this philosophy affect me? No, and neither should this philosophy affect you, I live my life the way I want to, I give my my life a purpose, a meaning to exist and I believe that you should too.
