I thought I could change your thinking some…by dazzling you with my brilliance…
so what is the exact god plan for you…and don’t tell me to look in the bible
Why would I have to know that? Objective meaning, purpose, value and morality exist even if I am in a vegetative state. That’s why it’s objective… it doesn’t depend on me knowing or thinking anything.
You only have to work if you want to fit into ‘common’ society. It’s possible for you to abandon it, go off and not be useful to anybody. Become homeless, a hobo, a monk, live in the wild…
Objectively speaking, for the survival of the species. Being useless to others I think is being quite nihilistic. I wonder if we can actually be useless to others while at the same time being useful to ourselves.
Is the sun stingy? Does it keep all of its light and warmth for itself? No, it shines on us and everything else, causing things to grow, giving off light.
Even the birds are useful with their chirping in the springing - helping along the trees to bud.
The rain causes things to grow.
Life does have objective and valued meaning. You can see it in nature without your own subjective or emotional perspective.
I wouldn’t say “lost”, but certainly missing out on a fuller life. It’s just like being a reader. If you don’t read books you are not lost, per se, but you live a more mundane life away from the heights that are possible to a human life.
Actually I do not see any discrepancy in being a nihilist an exhorting a conscious attempt at creating self-meaning, which obviously is not there in-itself but must be willed. That otherwise one’s life is “lost”…that is a statement that goes beyond nihilism.
