I questioned my life's meaning some years ago and until now I cannot convince myself that there is a meaning. I feel comfortable with this meaninglessness because I no longer want to prove myself to anyone. I laugh at my silly self because I still strive to be a decent person while being content about acting like a bitch sometimes.

“Why make a symphony when you will die?” Because the symphony will outlive you, and other people must live with it. Is that not enough?

For me, absurdism is like a chill guy. Existentialism is an overthinker while nihilism is the depressed friend in the circle of philosophy.

Existentialism sucks!
And most of the gurus of existentialism lived shit lives and died young.
NO THANKS!

You can believe that all we have is to make our own meaning. But that is not what Jesus said. You may mean that there is nothing beyond what our eyes and ears and other senses tell us, but that is not what Jesus said—it is not what Hawking said either. No one can force you to accept the words of Jesus which are still as true today as they were 2025 years ago. There have been as many atheists who have used violence to force their views on others as have religious people. Jesus never did!

I think there are animals that have a concept of their mortality elephants come to mind.

See life as a class. You inherit life, and life is nothing but an execution method getting called indefinitly for a period of time.
Don't customize life and that cycle is all it will be untill it dies, but add instances that can connect with eachother, and suddenly every class has meaning in it's connected neighbors. Add public/private methods and the class has functionality and ways of connecting to more instances

Hence the need for faith in Jesus Christ to overcome such a pitiful outlook on life.

The world is blank a single blank slate with no purpose at all. But as humans have done before when we see a blank slate we paint

If you rearrange a deck of cards enough times, then statistically it will eventually be in its original formation. Due to the fact that time is infinite, the same goes for the particles in your brain. There is a higher chance of your brain briefly forming in a void complete with memories of living then there is of you actually existing on earth. The only thing you can be sure of is the existence of your mind. If you are reading this than you are likely the only real conchinceness to have ever existed in the entire universe. This theory is called the boltzmann brain.

I've started having existential thoughts since I moved out from my parents to living alone. It's horrible.
I spend the majority of my time working and I barely see my friends, I come home to an empty home and I ask myself "What am I doing all of this for"?
We set goals for ourselves, only to want something else afterwards, so what's the point in even starting anything?
I've become fixated with this way of thinking and it's very bleak.
