CMV: Purpose and Meaning are not important at all, and a desperate need to find either is generally a sign of low self w

I think human life is inherently "worth it", it needs no greater explanation. Your particular life doesn't need purpose or meaning, neither does humanity as a whole. Some people just need it to feel better about themselves because they don't value themselves just for existing.
My reason for this is mainly anecdotal. The only people I've ever seen who work to find purpose and meaning don't think life is enough as it is and are unhappy about it. There is also a lot of virtue signaling when people say something gives them purpose.
Lastly, I think life is beautiful as it is. It can be hard and crazy and exhilarating and mind numbing dull and horrible. And every single person is living a completely unique experience and story that never existed and never will exist again. I just think life IS the whole point. Everything else feels like a bit of a circle jerk.

Honestly, the way this is presented changes how it lands so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what changes the context. This could age very differently in a week.

this reads stronger on paper than in practice which is why the comments look the way they do This probably isn’t the last word on it. Others will probably see it differently.
