I feel existentially anxious every now and then. I see squabbling on the forum, as if people are going to find their lives matter because they have the best taste in film, because they picked the C1, because they see fiat currencies for what they really are. To me it’s obvious that people are running around headless trying to find a reason why they matter, and I can’t laugh because I feel that way sometimes too. It’s all distraction and a way to avoid with dealing with the question of meaning directly.

I find trolling purposeful and meaningful: make people reevaluate their values by getting them enraged over stupid ****.

Sometimes it’s just a mood, but sometimes you have to sit down and clearly define things. Just don’t start a cult.

Why would anyone onboard more people with their issues? Rather send them away. haha.

Provided I'm working in the Engineering industry, then my life has an important ish purpose, keep them mines running, keep the families fed, etc etc I like that thought.

I suppose this may be more pressured when you work for example in a sector deemed less contributive. Flipping burgers isn't quite the same as building houses; well one can argue that both does contribute and even the latter can be used directly for unequal gains.

If you're Bot 19 out of twenty, you matter a great deal.

However, if you're Bot 19 out of 8 Billion ... you can probably only make peace with the obscurity ...
 
Do I have a purpose. Live, be alive, see the world, adventure, f***ing give it horns, claws, teeth and whatever I can. We have 120 years at most on this planet. Might as well take the scenic route.

Is my work fulfilling? Hell no, does it matter, hell no. Fulfillment comes from moments experienced and memories shared for me. From partying until the sun comes up to burying a loved one, it's all life, and it's all yours, all you need do is go get it.

You wouldn't happen to have some spare dollars for those of us who want to get into the BRICS trade, to add meaning and means to our lives?

I could spare a euro or two. If you time it right, it might just buy you a house.
 
You don't need to have a purpose...you can just live for yourself. You don't owe anyone anything just for being born.

Work pays the mortgage and buys me toys. So definitely has meaning and purpose
