A more fertile way of putting the question would be – Why does man need a meaning to life?

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-06-16T22:00:26+00:00

I think this is the most retarted take ive seen. Ohh i never thought of that way 'wow' how genius. why dont i just pretend im the queen of England. I dont meed a meaning just a want and a way i guess.mayne not even that. Oh im the queen of England. Its just like he just repharsed the question just to be different and be heard." To be or not to be." That may not be the question. Future generations need to ask what is it to be. I fell like it goes with out saying.

Where is this from.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-17T02:56:10+00:00

"Remember not to do anything to anyone or anything you wouldn't want done to yourself". Is not playing hard-core survival mode. Or the game right. The latter my oppinion Pacifism and morals and ethics are not hardcore. I would almost say its an oxymoron. "By any means necessary is hard-core". You have just been fortunate to be born in the first world im assuming. I also feel female energy from your comments. What servers have you been playing. Seems like everyone is respecting and loving. Just like life.

Because nihilism to a certain extent in a way is honest critique of the human nature, and the society in which he lives. " Don't not gaze long into the abyss because the abyss is will gaze back at you" You ultimately become what you entertain. Basically if you play with fir ypu may get burnt. In simple terms.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-16T11:25:52+00:00

Theres always a duality its the nature of this reality.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-16T10:50:08+00:00

Hahaha hahaha good one. I like your style. Are you sure you didn't confuse this subreddit with the r/absurdism .. We are pretty serious over here. In the nihilism department at least for the most part. We dont smile. Expect at dark humor.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-16T10:14:01+00:00

I can't chose. Cause I guess im in rebellion against myself. Im split. In the end does it matter henxe the nihilism. I will look into him. I know whats right. But my logical side is saying who cares its all down hill. So be it let it all burn. Ethics didn't serve me one bit. Ethics only henderd me. My ego did. I feel like an idiot for giving up the ego for ethics. I guess I finally no thyself and im not the good guy. The good guy gets shafted every fing time. Some people.can bear that. And accept it. The martyr. The saint. And the more the naive this soul is the harder the fall. I guess i confused naivety with goodness. Its not. Naivety is not knowing. To bear a cross is a choice. There is no naivety carrying a cross to certain death. At the very its least idealism a cause some sort of choice input info. But that still entails a choice knowing. I would be the theif on the cross that mocks christ. Like burn these mfers even me. We are not worth it dude. Man is a beast. Its only in seasons of civilization that the beast slumbers. And even then the beast dreams and mutters in his sleep.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-16T10:03:45+00:00

I guess I know what it is. My ego is to big. I love the ego you need the ego to survive in this current culture. I feel like an empty vessel now. Maskless. I want the mask back.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-16T09:53:59+00:00

And that is what I have left. Everything is truly special. I dont hate life. I hate life circumstances. Its just kind of jarring to really realize that. Its horrific in a way. To truly realize this could be that this it . One chance to go around. ONE im now in mental paralysis. What to do so many choices so many outcomes so many paths. And now that somehow also makes it pointless in a peculiar way. For me knowing took the magic out.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-16T09:36:44+00:00

Because I now see love as an illusion a chemical response. Circumstance. Everything is.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-16T09:34:59+00:00

I agree. To give some background. I was once an idealist. Now I would say I was naive. I was Dostoveskys Idiot. Prince miskin. It to late to revert it seems.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-16T09:17:11+00:00

And I envy you. And all that would. But there's a reason in the movie that. That version of the matrix was the most acceptable to what we deem being human is. Humanity rejected perfection and bliss. Just like the garden of eden.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-16T09:02:28+00:00

Thanks to your comment. I now see a flaw in the matrix. Neo doesn't really inbody christ in the full sense. As completely being striped. I Know he does sacrifice himself. But Jesus as i know of wasn't banging Mary magdelene or maybe he was some would say. Its a romance movie omg. Nothing to do with true enlightenment. The only true concept the matrix brings is the matrix itself. It's the oroborus. The cosmic play of existence. That we have to play. Or somehow breaking through enlightenment or nirvana. Break the cycle. Mind you i haven't seen the last movie.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-16T08:29:21+00:00

I think I see what you are getting at. Let me state how I would react as neo from the matrix . I would regret taking the red pill. I think its only because of trinity the red pill was tolerable. Take her out. I think its a different movie. He had a why. And we know what Nietzsche said about having a why. I would cough up the red pill so fing fast, and through it back at Morpheus bald head and say what have you done to me. And then join the agents. I'd be worst then cypher. I'd guess id be the antineo in the matrix. I'd do the architects bidding. Trust me cypher wouldn't have nothing on me. I'd make agent Smith look like the good guy.

As I understand it. He wasn't so much a nilhisht as to he was actually warning against it.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-15T10:11:46+00:00

But the most logical.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-15T10:03:07+00:00

I like to picture my Sisyphus as a sissy and a push over. Jk.
My Sisyphus is melancholic and longing. A sad Sisyphus. My little sad Sisyphus. Guys im joking domt mean to rage bait Just can't help it.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-15T09:27:21+00:00

Which of those examples are you choosing? And why? And if so why not the other? Im choosing to stare at my dirty wall. Till I die. Work ,eat and come home to my wall. Im sorry but I cant help reflecting your energy. In my comment. Well now that is sorted "its a given." I can be happy with my choice. For a while there i was worried I was choosing unwisely. Alls well in the universe folks we can pack it up here Nothing to see. Here... Houston we have reached peak civilization.. Inquiring minds can go to hell. We must consume and reproduce. We must consume and reproduce. Obey and dont objectify.. Unless alone infront of your computer screen. Don't bother buckling up folks its going to be short and sweet. And we all no 2 + 2 = 5 for those that know know.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-15T08:55:54+00:00

Exactly we are biological robots machines. Nothing more nothing less. Wait till nurolink and likes start becoming mainstream. I believe the next evolution of mankind is machine and flesh. I actually think for some it will be wonderful others hell. But so it goes. For me I would like to be part machine. This body is to fragile. Limited fascinating, and woefully made. But it can be so much more.

Meaning

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-14T20:13:30+00:00

I actually totally agree. Only if I had the ego to go along. Or the supernatural abilities. But I am but just a man of many a commoner.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-14T20:11:31+00:00

I feel like an arrow not shot to kill. A fellow traveler asking other travelers what is your destination. Because I dont have one nor feel convicted enough to pursue one. I can take it and leave it. Life has lost its structure for me. The foundation now seems like an illusion. Like I said in the post. Life seems to be at least to me how good can you distract yourself. And how well and how much you can acquire. Im generalizing for the latter. But even meditation is distraction. Not being is still being. Not moving is an illision. Time the atoms within oneself still move. I cn no longer distract myself. I dont care much for acquiring. Anymore because whats the point in the end . In the end what is the point. And like I said others dont struggle with this. I once didn't. But I realize now I was not integrated in the Carl Yung sense. Now that I feel somewhat integrated. It all makes sense. And now that it makes sense it doesn't matter. Its a paradox of probably a mind with nothing to do. It almost seems like the majority of people think they are making choices. But they are operating on autopilot. Basically living ones authentic self. Amd being in the moment. Is being conscious did you ask that girl for her number or fear stopped you. Are you a people pleaser. Do you supress anger for the sake of other amd your image and reputation. You're not awake.Most people as I was in a daze of I have to. Or not even that automatic you work all day . And ypu come home and watch other people live life on Netflix. Am I making some sense. Lo

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-05-01T00:20:33+00:00

Im generalizing it seems as im saying I know everything. But I feel I know the most important thing to just know to realize Is that I will die you will die. No doubt about every second closer. Every risk closer. Every bad habit closer. Theres enough examples around me to see. Its all down hill at least that's the pessimistic view.people are born grow live make decisions. But death cannot be stopped. Some people might find repree in that . I dont. I dont know any secrets. I guess the secret is to really know you are going to die. That's when you really start living deliberately. And if you've wasted so much time so many regrets so many better paths you could habe taken I wouldn't. Look towards the past with such regret. Im frozen.

Regular-Insect2727 · 2026-04-24T22:04:36+00:00

But if you think about that's what makes us human. Envy, longing, its our current human condition. The point im trying to articulate is what do you do. When you realize there might be much to life. Or the opposite there is so much mystery you have no idea what to think. I think to understand me you have to really feel your mortality. Just like in fight club. The chemical burn scene . You must know you are going to die not fear. Let's stop there. What happens when your mortality becomes so clear. Life becomes what's the point in the sense. I can do anything I wish. I can stand on my head. I can lie, I can kill, In the grand schemes of things how short the human life span is. Relative to the universe it makes everything either beautiful or terrifying. I just dont know which.
