I am back again with another bizarre topic. Purpose. The way I live and do things, I feel like there must be a purpose, a reason, before I do it. Why do I clean the dishes? So I don't have to worry about them later, or so that I don't get sick. Why go to work? So I can get paid. And that ends up bringing me to a deeper question. Why do I live? What is my purpose in life? I have begun to think that my purpose is to find my purpose. Funny, huh? But what am I to do? Do I try and change the world? Do I try to become famous? Perhaps I am to find my one true love and raise a family? Or will I make a discovery that will revolutionize the future? Maybe I am to help others along their path, becoming a 'wise man' to teach how to think for ones' self? Or maybe...there is no purpose. The concept of having a specific purpose is to believe that there is a fate tied to you from birth. Maybe we actually are supposed to make our own purpose? Or not?
Ofc it is the individual person that chooses ones Destiny since you could srsly anytome go out and shoot someone or yourself, and if that is Destiny like cmon like everyone in like New York could all go häng themdelves and if its Destiny for so many ppl to randomly kill themthemselves i would call bullshit if it is.
I don't have the luxury to ponder 'why do i live'. Its more of a 'what should i do to live' and 'how can i pass this so that i could live'. I'll think about pointless stuff like 'why do i live', 'life purposes' or 'am i pure enough to die' when i have stabilize the current life i have now.
No. I dont believe in destiny. Cause im so bored with my life, i think even god would weep. Cause i dont do much and just went with the flow. Unless u called that destiny, well that means my predestined life sucks.
hmm...instead of a definite future already set in stone, wouldnt it be more like a suggested future? for example, if one side of your family were mechanics, wouldnt that be a sort of destiny? same. but i worry about the useless stuff more than the important stuff. im weird that way.
I believe predetermined destiny~ but unlike what most other cats think~ for me it just a probability not fixed thing~ there only perfect plan~ not perfect execution~ beside seem like you quite high~ I not really suggest think too much on such condition~ why? cuz you think one time and ignore it later~ hey believe it or not these day people will pursue material thing more than philosophy ya know~ like me~
destiny? that doesn't exist, we live in a world with owners, freedom is just an illusion, we live to die
Depends. The nihilist argument is strong on that one. after all you really don't matter in the grand scheme of the universe. But that way of thought goes nowhere. Life IS suffering afterall. We try to live our lives in such a way that we can reduce our suffering. Instead of falling into the pit of nihilisim, self-deprecation and hate. We try to find goals to fulfill. So that we can go even further in life. Maybe find a significant other. The sea of life is sailed better when you have two people on the boat instead of one. There is no concrete purpose. You find your own as you live through it. You don't have to have a unique one either. People have lived the same way for hundres of years. Grew up, got married, had children and died with their families. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today. - Jordan B Peterson Learn what you want learn and start it now. It's never too late. And maybe have a couple of brats too.
Life has no greater meaning desu Purpose is chosen but existing isn't desu The only true choice given to humanity Is to keep living or die desu
I feel like believe in destiny means you're surrendering your free will. If everything happens for a reason then your choices aren't actually choices, they're what you were always going to pick. You're just following the script. It's also depressing. Some people's destiny is to fall into depression and commit suicide. Some people's destiny is to cure disease and save millions of people. Some people's destiny is to murder hundreds of people. Thanks for that grand design, master planner.
I'm still waiting for my transport to another world o r resurrection in another wo rld or maybe turn back time.
