Meaning is meaningless.
To be born inherently means there is a meaning to life; however, what is that meaning? We as humans started nomadic, animalistic, finding meaning in the circle of life, living off the land, and enjoying socialization and nature. But as we’ve “evolved,” we have adapted a society that values money, work, and obedience. We at age 5 are placed into a school from 7 am-3 pm every day, only for us to go home and have hours of homework, where we get maybe an hour to ourselves a day, then off to sleep we go. And we repeat this for 12 years. 12 years where we are being trained to forget about ourselves and our meaning and focus on work and putting out good results. Then, after these 12 years, we are told to go back to school, just in a more formal setting (college), so we can acquire a good job and feed our families. When we are stripped of our free will, our options of travelling, and our true animalistic natures, our minds will struggle. We weren’t meant to be behind a desk in an office chair for 9 hours a day every day of the week, all weeks of the year. We were meant to be hunting, gathering fruits and berries, camping out and conversing, and spending time with our loved ones, breeding. And you, as a human, might now say, “Well, that sounds kinda pointless and boring.” You’ve been made to think that way; you’ve been stripped of everything that makes a human a human. We have put our lives above all others and have said we are too good for nature. We have taken the gift of consciousness for granted and used it to make others suffer.
