No meaning to life

Why does it bother people so much when i mention i think there is no meaning to life, other than just living. I mean im not unhappy or suicidal by any means but i feel our species just evolved enough to become self aware and when we die, we just allow other species to use our collected energy.
There is no heaven and hell, no superior species. Just life of a bunch of self aware selfish humans.

God is a hovering object in space that is made of everything. Its a hologram we are not aware of at the moment.

Sounds like you got it all figured out, real question is why do YOU care why the others care if you truly know life has no meaning..sure this is a meaningless question?
You know how I know that you have no clue about the meaning of life? Because I have no clue, and neither does anyone else.

To think life has no meaning is naive, look around us. Not in your town or state or country, look around the Earth; There is no life outside our little island anywhere we could possibly see anytime soon. Life came together against millions of factors, that by one micron off, we and everything that is life would not exist in our part of this vast universe. So life itself does not need a meaning except to actually exist and keep this life cycle going as long as possible

I never said my life was meaningless. I make it a point every day to tell people to have a good day just for the simple fact i hope one day i may could make an influence on someone to actually have a good day. I have several more examples of this behavior.
I only wish people would have similar views, that way we could all get along.

In my opinion everything has a reason or meaning a purpose if you will..., look at your hands they have a use.. or your eyeballs or even our sun , psychedelics and just about anything i can think of has a purpose or meaning.. we possess conciousness for a meaning aswell everything has a meaning now the meaning of life itself is quite subjective to each individual person obviously, but i do think there is a meaning or purpose to it, i think we are a product of evolution of the universe solar system stars and life itself, i feel like we are meant to experience, for without the expierence of a observer, who or what observes? Would existence even exist? In the grande scheme of all there is most certianly a purpose, however i might add this is all my subjective idea

You sound like my very lazy son. The kid has to be reminded to do laundry. I'm not sure, but I'd guess you are 18-27 years of age, give or take. Why even post that nothing matters if it does not matter? What if "heaven" or "hell" are just a state of being? Do you know these places do not exist as a fact or is it speculation?

really it's quite nice in my view, to know there's no meaning. I mean really, how could there be meaning? Meaning is contextual, we make it ourselves and apply it to the world. It exists, for us, for a time, but on a universal scale, of course life has no meaning, it's just preposterous really, at a certain point it just is because it is and leave it at that

i think the occurrence of statistically impossible synchronicities is a good clue that there might be something meaningful going on. Of course this is brushed off as us just being more aware of patterns which occur in our lives (delusions of reference) But to generalize and say that all synchronicities are flukes is incredibly foolish based on truly impossible things i have witnessed.
nihilism is an unfortunately side-effect from believing there is no meaning to life.
many who promote those ideas claim it shouldn't effect our motivation to want to do meaningful things in life but to be honest i kind of think those negative points of view are hard to overcome with a nihilism philosophy.
the majority of my peers/society seems to be nihilist as far as i can tell. Seems to turn things into a free for all/every man for himself..

I dont think its out of the question to say that as a collective we are subconsciously working towards a specific goal or result in our evolution. I think that could be seen as a meaning or purpose. Meaning doesnt always need to be a conscious decision, i can often sneak up on us without us even knowing it.
i didn't find meaning in my life. I was just doing random seemingly unconnected things and realized it was all tied to a specific purpose that was connected (synchronicity) and my meaning evolved from that.

Explain what?
I always tried getting high as possible..well one night i outdid myself. I took 3-4 strong hits of DMT while on mushrooms and as i blew out the last hit, it started raining out of nowhere. Like a torrential downpour. Everything kept building and building in pressure over the next 30 seconds. Then as im looking forward as the rain is beating at my window..there started a cosmic plasma-type stuff forming on my wall. It collected itself and "poof" out popped a golden hologramatic disc. It slowly and methodically hovered up to my left eye and stopped on a dime. So did the rain. So now its me looking at this object in total amazement. I couldnt look at the thing "in its eye" for some reason despite staring straight at it. So about 1 minute after staring at this object/disc/hologram i slowly reach my arm out to touch it, and right as im about to make contact, it starts hovering away slowly. I go "nooooo" in my head as it slipped from my grasp. It hovered into the wall, and i came down from the DMT and i never saw it again.
If that isnt God/meaning of life...im not sure what is

personally i find people who have smoked DMT but still claim there is no design, meaning or purpose in life rather silly.
The whole reason im an artist is because the DMT visions clearly have objective "Design" and "Meaning". It is CLEARLY not random noise. Its information/language.
Ezuma even you have confirmed this for me so i dont have to compile the countless of comments people to me made saying im drawing the exact same realm they have been too.

but heres a video a youtuber made about it for good measure :P

Life is without a deep meaning or purpose. The universe exists without any kind of purpose.
Doesn't make valueless though. Life's value comes from our ability to experience the consciousness of our environment with which we reside. Pre-birth and death was and will be the termination of this experience.
I think that's as deep as it goes.
DMT was profound in teaching me this as my consciousness vanished from my body for some time and shrooms taught me this in a very gentle way.
-------------------- My Psychedelic experiences: LSD - 30+ times (2 hits min / max 3 hits) every time. Shrooms - 4 times (2.5 - 3.5g) DMT - 5 times (Powerful breakthrough only once) Life can be one hell of a bitter pill to swallow so I chose acid instead -YeOlde

My recent problem is that everything feels fake, this whole world feel fake, I feel like the only meaning of this life is to breed and be put into slavery in a false reality. This world really feels like the matrix, where ignorance of reality is bliss, and once you figure out that this is all a sham, it takes the luster of life's pleasures away.
I often view the majority of humans as a disease, this is making me seriously think about getting a vasectomy, I don't want to contribute my seed to further the ranks of this motley crew of self serving "higher thinking" apes. I am sure that sounds horrible, but it's how I feel currently.

If you did procreate, maybe you could be the father of someone great who changed the world in an unimaginable way.
Think about if all countries/ people in the world were without greed and worked for the betterment of human civilization as a whole. Imagine how mucb we could accomplish.

That's a nice thought and all, and I appreciate you trying to shine a little bit of light on an often dismal subject for myself, but the majority of humans are always going to be self serving pieces of trash. I hate to sound so pessimistic, but I just don't see myself breeding the next messiah, or humans pulling their heads out of their assholes anytime soon.
I always treat people with respect though, I don't want to come off as being rude to life, but it's just so pointless to invest energy into anything which doesn't really matter. Nature is brutal, not just humans, but nature itself is a cut throat bitch of a demon dog, this is one truth I see as self evident, we all can observe lions consuming a wildebeest calf recently born with no remorse, wolves hunting down the young, weak, old of a herd of buffalo with no remorse for their actions, so humans are no different, and with social media, we're only become more vile because we can hide behind out little screens and feel powerful because we can say what we want in almost total anonymity.
We put on masks to say we care about certain things, but I bet the majority of people really don't care, they only act like they do so that others can pat them on the back, seems like the majority of people only do good for recognition, fuck that, fuck those people, self serving assholes they are.
One of the things which I think might be a part of the age old questions about the meaning of life, is to figure out how to be, just to be. I don't want the labels, the religions, any of that, it feels like those things start to corrupt you if you allow them to. Even if you don't act like an asshole about achieving something in a spiritual way, your ego will constantly be trying to trick you into thinking you're better than someone, ego traps are death, but they are so prevalent it's amazing to me, why can't I get any peace and just turn that part of my being off, WHY!
Fuck being in the know, fuck it all man it's all worthless if we allow it to corrupt us, so even within the light side of life, there is much darkness. Why is it so hard just to be, just be light, and love, to overcome the ego, I don't feel at home in this human suit made of flesh and blood and secular desires and wants, fuck it.
I am sure I have said somethings in this post I don't mean, but I go through periods of nihilism I guess you could say, and am in one of those periods of my life now. What usually puts me in such a state, is seeing two family members of mine struggle with things, I only want to see everyone I know realize their worth, their value, but I don't know how to go about bringing this out of people because I am socially inept, even with my loved ones. Why is it so hard to for others to realize their worth without attaching to social status, or material things.
If god is real, then he/she's a huge fucking asshole. I get angry and shake my fist at some imaginary sky god, I want to topple the temples, and rebuild a new one, do it right this time, but the world isn't ready for that, so I will focus toppling the temple of ignorance within my being, and building something new there first, so that I might be an example to follow.
Why did I live through a decade of heroin addiction and so any people I knew died, so many good people that had better schooling, promising lives, wonderful attitudes, fuck this shit is twisted.
So I struggle with seeing the purpose in life, other than life is just a mistake, this whole thing is a mistake.
Sorry to sound so negative, but it's how I feel now, I am generally a fairly optimistic person who tries to see the good in each person, and not see them for their faults, but I am currently thinking an asteroid to the planet would probably be a good thing.

On one level life having no essential meaning is true. But its from that which all our freedom comes from, we make our own meaning like in a dream.

If life has no meaning it's your fault.
Life is different each day for me, vibrant, interesting. I don't see people around me struggling with the question of meaning so why are you? Plenty of meaning in life . . .
Listen to and talk to the people that say life is amazing, because it is. You just have to see things their way.

Meanings in life do exist but they are subjective and individually made from a persons values and sense or morality.
Objectively there are no meanings but there is a purpose to life and it is that of DNA transcription.
And yes I find it humbling to know my body will become fertiliser and be recycled into nature when I die.

For me the meaning of life (of humans) is to survive and seek as much pleasure as possible before your inevitable death...

i think a good personal goal/purpose would be to cause as much change or transformation in your environment as possible.
what i mean by that is try to make things that people will admire or that helps society and if you are lucky you might perhaps bend society or cultures into different directions and i think its neat when people have the greatness to bend history because its astonishing to know that if you weren't alive then humanity might be radically different and have gone into an alternate path.

and hopefully our consciousness/awareness will be recycled into nature as well. Awareness seems like something way too beautiful to waste or throw away

Interesting. I mean for all we know, we could have existed with a consciousness and a memory as some other type of life on some other galaxy somewhere. Possible we could have been a human being on Earth before also isn't it.
So yeah it may not be the termination of ALL experience.
You could exist as some form of life without a memory or consciousness also, but then the value of your life's existence would be pretty low as it could be comparable to that of something inanimate like a rock or something.
I think that's why we should cherish our lives and our times here. The awareness, consciousness and ability to form memories throughout our lives is THE gift of what it means to be living right now. It's certain that when we die, these things will cease and it's certainly not known if we will ever get to experience it again.
EDIT: So really to conclude that is the "meaning" of life. In my opinion, it's wrong to assert life is without meaning because our consciousness, self-awareness and ability to form memories of the things that stimulate our consciousness is the meaning of the life given to us.
It's equally wrong in my opinion to say it's up to us to search for meaning in our lives. Usually when people say this, people allude to the idea of building a career or creating a family and using those as things to give our lives meaning and a sense of purpose. Whilst I agree it can help make us feel purposeful and important, it certainly isn't the meaning of our lives.
Every single one of us has this meaning, it's just a matter of being able to acknowledge it in the way that I've described.
This is the most valuable thing I have learned using Psychedelics. Mushrooms in particular.
-------------------- My Psychedelic experiences: LSD - 30+ times (2 hits min / max 3 hits) every time. Shrooms - 4 times (2.5 - 3.5g) DMT - 5 times (Powerful breakthrough only once) Life can be one hell of a bitter pill to swallow so I chose acid instead -YeOlde

i appreciate your thoughts.
I personally look high and low for evidence of experience after physical death.
perhaps i have impermanence anxiety.
its funny when i was depressed and feeling hopeless the idea of existing after death would have been something unwanted for me because i felt distress with being conscious and wanted eternal sleep without experience.
Its only when i feel hopeful for my future and happy with things that i dont want my experience to ever end.
ahah its kind of funny when i think about it.
maybe all the people who are hoping that death is the end of all experience are actually just clinically depressed
