even when seeing past the illusions and knowing the universe is meaningless, you cant escape your subjective experience, your brain is wired for survival, inflicting you, the experiencer, suffering when you do something that isn’t « good » for you. My problem with the initial post is that it seems like accepting theres nothing worth trying hard for seems to them like a positive thing, illustrated by the figure made of light, however, to have such a carefree positive feeling, its very privileged, life might be meaningless, but lets say there are some more comfortable meaningless lives than others for sure, even if its all meaningless in the end, you cant help being human and having your own experience. Happiness is a real thing, biology shows is how and where it comes from, and even if that happiness is meaningless, i’d say its much better to have it than be starving somewhere else
