Realizing it's all meaningless should only happen when you have it all.
The easiest thing in this world is to say it's meaningless without even entering the field.
And what is "meaning" anyway?
If all things are made up, why does "meaning" have to be non-worldly?
What if the act of "flow" is the real meaning?
For most people in this world, something is only meaningless when they aren’t able to do it.
And because these people are in a huge number, they have more influence on the popular narrative.
That’s why they made the world believe this.
That’s why playing the game, competing, being in the system, doing the mundane, working hard for a token of "I owe you" or a metal trophy is deemed meaningless.
The philosophical pursuit of vouching out of the system in itself is escapism.
It is conditioning the mind to believe what we can’t do isn’t even that important.
It’s nothing but a collective survival mechanism.
To make you feel good even with all the shortcomings.
To make you able to live with yourself.
A better way to think about life is to understand that what’s made up is also a part of a broader scheme of things.
Being flabbergasted by losing is the strongest way to make sure you win the next time.
Being in an unhappy scenario is the only way for you to never go back to taste that ugly defeat again.
Being unaffected or detached metaphysically is the only way to make sure defeat finds its way back.
Remember, meaning is only a human concept.
All other species live unaffected.
So, the fact that we have a "thinking" to make us question a lot, let’s make sure we don’t question what we’ve made of this world collectively.
Let’s respect our symbols, our hope, our support, our process.
Let’s respect the fact that human beings are a part of the broader scheme of things as well, and what we do does have meaning.
Let’s start respecting what our species has done for itself.
And let’s not use philosophy as an excuse to escape.
It’s just fun to be in the system as well sometimes, you know?
