What's the deal with life?

Question

Kind of like "what's the meaning of life"...except different. It seems as though I go through life always searching, wanting, exceeding to the next level only realize that I miss what I used to have. How do you go about getting the life you want if A) you don't know what you want and/or B) to get the life you want you would have to make drastic changes? And in the end...will you end up being happy or will you miss what you used to have? It just seems kind of hopeless to live a life that is less than fulfilling to me. How can I make my life more fulfilling?

Answer 1

read the philosopher albert camus.

Answer 2

The emptiest people are full of themselves.  Unconditional love and help is the most fullfilling thing we can do for ourselves.  Seems backwards but a short study of the lives of selfish people and the lives of unselfish people will show which life is more fullfilling.  

Try helping some one who really needs it tomorrow and see if it really works!

Life is a journey not a destination, enjoy the ride!

Answer 6

we are one with life. We don't own or possess it. We don't do it.

we are it, one and intertwined.

Since we are to experience things and die back anyway, why bother straining ourselves for next moment when we simply are in this moment now.

Don't let your recurring thoughts fool you. You're not even the memory and longings and emotions. You are to experience, not the experiment or what happen and what is yet to happen in the experiment. I should use a more divine word that this technical one, but this will do for now.

We are not what others and "our self" think of us. Thoughts are not worth defending for they dysfunctional and unhappy.

And avoid judging your life as " empty, unfullfilling...etc" .

Judgment should not be mistaken for admitting or accepting. It's worthless and useless. After all it's a thought.

Live the moment for the moment. we are here. The past does not hold us back and the future demands no promise from us.

And dont judge that this is not easy or hard.

Just simply do it. Acceptance. Joy. Enthusiasm. Find your three inner happiness.

Life deals many just one pair, a few others a full house, while constantly holding a straight flush itself.
