#8 The meaning of life is absurd
This article discusses how the realization that the meaning of life is absurd can be liberating.
The question of the meaning of life has puzzled humanity for centuries. We often seek answers in religion, philosophy, or science, but the truth is that there is no definitive answer. Life is absurd, and there is no universal purpose that we can follow.
In this article, we will explore why the absurd should make us happy and how we can find meaning and purpose in life despite its apparent lack of meaning.
Liberating Ourselves from the pressure of predefined purpose
Sometimes we feel pressured to find our purpose in life, but this pursuit can be overwhelming and stressful. In reality, the idea that life does not have a predefined purpose is liberating. It allows us to be who we want to be and do what we want to do without feeling the pressure to fulfill a universal purpose. There are no strict rules to follow, only social conventions that help us be more civilized.
Surrounding Ourselves with complementary people
Often, we do things just because they are expected of us, which leads us to do things we don't enjoy and be surrounded by people we don't identify with. But it doesn't have to be this way. It's time to identify what you like and surround yourself with people who share your interests. These moments are what give meaning to your life: the experiences, the conversations, and relationships that are created.
Don't try to share your life with people you have nothing in common with. It's better to find someone you have things in common with. This is where the mystical connection is created, and where true love is born.
