What is the meaning of life if you are not exceptional in any way, if you do not look exceptional...

What is the meaning of life if you are not exceptional in any way, if you do not look exceptional, if you do not have exceptional talent, if you were not born in a unique place, you don't have any unique skills, and you don't have a bigger goal in life?

The whole point of life is to do as much dedication and enjoy as much as u could using any resources you can find

I find meaning by continually working to improve myself. If I don't have an exceptional talent, I could always work and practice to be become very good at something. Making progress toward becoming a better version of myself fulfills me.

I’ve been down that endless road. Wanting to be exceptional, the best really. I wanted to be the best artist, musician, etc. People have complimented me on various skills on an instrument or something but it ultimately means nothing if you aren’t happy with yourself. Your only as exceptional as you see your self and that’s what life is all about. Finding what you love and doing it, no matter if your exceptional or not, and most importantly being happy with your work and not looking to labels and compliments to gauge your self worth. In my experience it doesn’t mean shit how good you are at something just as long as it gives you life and you love it.

To be a benefit to yourself, your family, and your community. Life is characterized by hardship and overcoming hardship is what gives life meaning.

This.

Also, even exceptional people have the same feelings. The only people who don't have those feelings are very arrogant people who see themselves as the whole point of life existing.

Thought experiment: imagine you're suddenly given all the money, fame, discovery or skill you ever wanted. Do you think those feelings would just disappear? David Beckham has had an enviable life with all those things and more, but now he's just a dad and kicking time around till the end. And eventually no one will remember him. Eventually we'll all die and no one will remember the human race. So our achievements basically mean shit and you should just take advantage and enjoy being here.

from biological prespective, the purpose of life is procreation
otherwise i woud say, enjoying as much as heavenly possible and finding something you are good at

Quoting your favorite anime, faggot?

Dude, invest invest invest in hedonism. Just do whatever the fuck makes you happiest, get a job that's easy and pays well. Security guarding is an example.

The next big human event will be a major war to decide if the future is white or jewish. Learn to shoot from cover and on the move, anyone can be exceptional at that. Choose your side carefully.

Sounds like OP is locked deep in egoism.
Not saying that in a derogatory way, there are many paths we take in life and we often change.

I found that finding purpose or meaning comes from attaching yourself to something bigger than yourself. Something that requires hands-on work. Myself I have moved into permaculture, despite being loose af and never been sufficiently skilled at much. But this happened, the moment I dedicated myself to this purpose everything started slotting into place and I was quickly employed in a role it would normally take years to get a sniff at.

Find a purpose, become the solution, have faith in the road ahead. Grow old, die while still mystified by life.

There is no meaning or purpose to life.
You give it meaning.
You decide what you want to live for.
Money, love, family, success, religion, national pride, drugs, hobbies, sex.
You define tour own life and only you and some few friends or family connected to you care.
The universe cares not for us, for it does not know we are here.
Even the majority of life doesn't know you're alive.
Your life. Your purpose.
Your own little work with the people you let in.

>Grow old, die while still mystified by life.
You have to be a stupid motherfucker to be mystified by life beyond age 8.

You have a long way to go by the sounds of it.

This. Stop telling yourself you can't do anything cause"you don't have the talent". Talent is a fucking bullshit meme. Unless you are severely handicapped you can achieve almost anything... IF YOU WORK HARD ON IT. I have done many things from learning multiple instruments and releasing successful self-made productions, to running a business, learning to draw, get a degree in accounting, math, microbiology, chemistry and healthcare professional, just to name a few things. Are you telling me I just happened to have special talent for all of those things I tried? Fuck that, I just don't allow myself to give up when it gets frustrating. Frustration is the pain of growth. Start living already.

Pleasure, never has a useless life had more access to it than now. A true low life sybarite male would probably be a coke dealer. If you can high life it get a BS degree like Literature and just spew stuff you read on Yea Forums.

No, you're just a brain dead hippy.

This.

And confirmed by dubs.

The purpose of life is survival. Everybody can survive, you can enhance your own survival ability, and the survival ability of those loyal to you, those loyal to you enhance your survival ability.

You've been tricked by capitalism to believe these things are important

What is the meaning of life if you do?
You've also described the grand majority of people.
Just do stuff you like to do man...

Until you stupid 20 something faggots grow up and realize you can't work/buy/fuck/exercise/drug your way to happiness, then you can start growing as a person.

There is no more growing, only war is in our future. Mark my words.

Future generations will call me an innovator and a teacher. You'll thank us hippies soon enough, when you realize how necessary environmental science and preservation is in the near future.

lol there's no /meaning/
just life n then die. unless if in future we can live forevaz kek

What are the alternatives to egoism? Altruism and hedonism? Are their any others?

I've raised animals, grown gardens and had fish tanks since I was a kid. You 'hippies' call me a Nazi now. Bang.

>Edgy 15 year olds

It's more like "WHY is the meaning of life" not what.
You/EveryoneXWhy

Wow. What a fucking acomplishment.

"I keep doing the same thing I did when I was 5.
Some call me a martyr.
Others a hero.

I love fish."

havent heard the word nazi ever used except in school and screaming liberals on youtube. Pretty surreal - fascists screaming fascist.

This guy is right in that we shouldn't be obsessed with the egocentric thinking, it's easy to get lost thinking like that. But they are important questions you should be asking yourself at some point in your life.
It's a balancing act right? Purpose,faith, community opposing the cold hard truth of a brutal reality we face.
don't let yourself fall to far to one side or the other.

No, they genuinely won't.

I used to belive that hippy shit back when I was in my teens/early 20s (during the 1990s) - I'm now 43 and I see how arrogant and deluded it was.

This is what will happen:

Environmentalism will continue to go in and out of fashion among bored middle class westeners. It is currently in a short phase of being fashionable, similar to the 1990s.

However, environmental issues will not be solved by angsty teens and bored westeners.

It'll be solved through technology and the market.

Alternatives will arise as a result of the constant push of capitalism.

Think of all the protesting against eating meat and how useless that has been, probably converting no one to the cause.

Now think of companies such as Quorn who produce a meat alternative as a means to make money. They have saved more animals than any amount of protesting.

Market forces, capitalism, science, and technology eventually self-correct in order to maintain forward momentum.

Grow up and focus your energy on getting a decent education in STEM and work towards being part of the solution rather than someone who whinges that everyone else should do something.

>Then he started talking in circles.

Don't lump me with other people you boomer faggot. i just don't know all the alternatives to egoism and asked a question i didn't even know egoism was a word cause I'm fine with my life i don't need bullshit philosophy

No, you're just a bit too dim and blinded to listen.

Still, do whatever you want but I can pretty much guarantee that when you're my age you'll look back on someone like yourself and deeply deeply cringe.

thank me later

Alans better than the quack sadghuru with j krishnamurti and alan i feel like i learn from them

Edgy, Very. Cringed.
>Bigly bad deals here, fellas.
It's just part of the zeitgheist that you feel that way. It's all a part of being a white person, ala an Asian is it's into holistic cures.
You can be more representative of who you are, but I don't think you will.

You realize if you continue searching for purpose/meaning in life, you’ll miss life altogether

>It'll be solved through technology and the market
yes thats called permaculture

LOL Who is whinging? man, so much projection. Im getting paid good money to create food forests that feed a large number of people and animals, while simultaneously improving soil and biodiversity. It isnt idealistic, its intelligent.

Oh and good luck with permaculture - it's a total dead end. I had a permaculture garden back in the 90s, by my caravan, which acted as my base between road protests.

It's self-indulgent and completely out-of-touch with reality. It's neither scaleable nor desirable to the masses. It's just a form of virtue signaling.


Also you'll get bored when the girls who think your hippy shit is cute at this age grow up and embrace their natural female hypergamy and see you as a loser, while they chase men with degrees and good careers.

Glad I snapped out of it before it ruined my life and prospects.

In a matter of decades, people will have designed plants to do whatever the fuck they feel like.

>Bitchy manchild here.

No it's not, permaculture is a hippy fad that has no relevance at all to what I'm saying.

You're so blinded by the middle-class bubble you're living in that you can't see that it is entirely non-scaleable, not a solution, and is just a self indulgent virtue signal for bored, guilty, wealthy westeners.

I mean I HOPE so. IF they don't, were dead in the water as a fucking planet so...

Yeah I said the same in the 90s.... where are they?

GMOs are the future in those regards, but they're not popular with your crowd because they're not "natural".

you are right in the fact that only capitalism has a chance at fixing the planet. Once someone finds a way to turn a profit, then the problem will be fixed over night.
idealistic idiot kids: save your money on those liberal arts degrees, if you really want to change the world do what this faggot said and learn something useful, technical, learn to do something with your hands then teach it to other people. You affect change better though actions then words.

The simple truth is that unless India and China sort themselves out, nothing westeners do will make the blind bit of difference.

Again, it's not like we can keep feeding ourselves without a way to permaculture

Also get the fuck over yourself.

>technology eventually self-correct in order to maintain forward momentum.
Nope, technology stalled about 10 years ago. Now it's just idiots trying to feed off the corpse of progress, to make money. Real and personal war, is the next progress for humanity. May my faith in fish and Yevon, protect me.

permaculture is how we'll feed ourselves when the roads and stores are guarded by the fascist left. Decentralized food and weapons are important

>this faggot thinks he's enlightened after taking 200ug of acid

Where did you get that? I said you talk like you're something above it all... Like most Americans, but you're just a willing participant in your own anal destruction.
That's slavic commie horseshit, not hippie banter.

Get a .05 MoA at 50yds and globalist guards are no issue.

Pot calling the kettle black.

I am "over myself", which is why seeing an echo of my past self is so cringey.

I admire your passion, but I genuinely think (well know from my own experience) that you're barking up the wrong tree.

This entire philosophy was proven as BS in the 90s.

All the positive momentum towards an improved environment since then has come about due to technological advancements and capitalism.

I mean I appreciate the compliment, but I'm just street trash.

If life had no meaning outside of the exceptional, then life has no meaning for most. That concept defies life itself. The exceptional is specifically defined by the existence of unexceptional. Exceptional can't have meaning if unexceptional doesn't.

This is similar to those who think there needs to be bad to appreciate the good.

No. Existence doesn't need a counterpoint to have meaning. You don't need to have evil to have good, you merely need to know evil is a possibility. You don't need to be exceptional. You need to be sufficient. You can know and strive for exceptional. That is how you get better.

That guy's a hippie, I'm more of a STEM person, but there's never been a thing to do with scientific discovery that's slipped through people's fingers.

So 'hippie bullshit' is inevitable. So are like either simple planting or simple farming.
It has to happen at some point, but it's important, so it's reality; it's then just a way for someone to solve things.

>Non-scaleable
You're making yourself look pretty daft right now.

Well, I just hope your generation proves me wrong. I'd genuinely be very happy to be wrong on this one.

I suppose I have to admit that culture (as in hippy BS) does influence the funding for the sciences - so it's not all bad.

But, I definitely think that every 10000 people protesting is eclipsed in value by that one guy getting a degree and actually taking personal responsibility for finding future solutions through STEM.

Anyway, I did my part with all that stuff in the past. Avoided having kids and don't drive. I like to think my environmental footprint is pretty insignificant.

Blah blah. Rambling old cynical fart that I am.
You guys have to live in the future, so I wish you well with fixing the problems, I'll be gone by then.

Permaculture isn't scaleable. But if you have a plan to feed China, in a manner at the very least equivalent to what they are accustomed (and ideally betteR) via permaculture... please feel free to share it.

this is the meaning of your life OP

But what if the meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life?

You can be to yourself. People bitch about the concept of snowflakes, but the truth is that there are so many variables that go into a human''s creation that we are all unique. Try and find what is good or bad about how you are unique, and work to make the good shine while buffing away the bad.
