Reply to comment by crazy_gurl1001 in The reason you were born is to be productive & exploited your whole life, as a reward you're sold freedom in years that you wouldn't be a productive worker anyway. by KHUSTOM
Nope, at first its depressing, but it's liberating once you embrace and understand it

There’s nothing to understand you were put here for a reason. Even if all u do is play video games all day. Why would you want to have a depressing mindset.

There are only the reasons that we, ourselves, create. That's the point of their comment and the source of the freedom they experience. It doesn't need to be a nihilistic viewpoint at all.

You have freedom even if you were out here for a reason. You choose what YOU want to do, but you me and everyone else has a purpose.

We'll agree to disagree then, friend.

Unfortunately everyone does not have a purpose, but I do hope everyone finds a purpose that suits them.

It's not depressing, at least I don't think so. It means I can give myself any meaning I want, look for my own happiness instead of a "purpose" I was made to accomplish

That’s exactly what that is though? Everything happens for a reason. You finding your own happiness and reasons IS why you are here !

being put here for a reason implies a higher power. humanity does not exist for any reason other than we evolved from other hominids and became smart enough to make fire, and then used fire to make better things.
so yeah, we don't exist for any reason. however, we make our own personal reason to exist.
mine is spite

It absolutely does not indicate that there’s a higher power. I personally do not believe in that, but I do believe in the universe and everything happens for a reason. We were put here to live and love. I’m sorry you don’t see that, and also you saying we make our own reasons kinda dictates what you’re saying lol. We definitely are here for reasons, you just have to find yours:)

no, what we're getting at is the universe (and by extension Earth) doesn't give a shit that we exist. that's what we mean by no reason. if you really want a reason, chaos is the reason we exist. a series of events that lead to the creation of intelligent life on earth, just chaos.
god dammit now all i can think of is 40k and literally worshipping chaos lmao. blood for the blood gods and all that jazz

God, The universe does gaf about us crazy enough, I mean it made us didn’t it. You have a purpose wether u like it or not. And life is going exactly how it’s meant. I completely understand and respect your opinion but everything happens for a reason

Like I say it was only depressing in the beginning when my ideas were being questioned. After that it's pretty enlightening
