Meaning of Life

Hollow; depressing : like Neitzche's philosophy : it's a worldview I find particularly unnatractive. I just don't think it's very intelligent to follow a destructive line of reasoning that makes life unbearable.

No one is talking about 'imaginary meaning' but thanks for that obvious straw man.. it helped not at all with anything. Useless. Superfluous. Imaginary. Evidence of you doing that exact thing : justifying yourself with empty bullshit.

This is probably more personal choices than fact.
But I don't need meaning to live this life.

This world is not unattractive, this world is fascinating, and real. too real. That's why kids are fascinated, amazed by the world just from their five senses. While we adults, getting bored because we do not want to sense it anymore. We build our thought, imaginary things and forget that there still fascinating things around.

This world is also very real. Probably too real for many persons so they need imaginary places such as heaven.

We humans are just part of the evolution of this world. This world is antifragile. They will thrive with or without us. We born from nothing, live consuming almost anything, then die returning to nothing. Just that.
