Purpose in Life

[Amarok]

And already banned is trying to prey on vulnerable mind

I'm struggling right now and one of the things that I'm struggling with is purpose in life.  I'm not one who believes that there is an inherent purpose to our lives any more than there is an inherent purpose to the life of a worm or a tree or an antelope.  That's never bothered me before but now I'm facing the chasm of my future and it feels so empty.

I know I'm posting this in the philosophy forum but I'm less interested in the philosophical question of meaning and purpose in life and more interested in what gives your life meaning and purpose and how I can find that for myself, post-cancer.

First off you should be happy you have survived to think on the matter . But the fact remains you won't find easily . Its not something someone else can simply tell you .It's unfortunately something you may need to wander for . I don't believe for a second one thing can define your life .It certainly has not defined mine .  Don't fear the search or the journey . Fear becoming afraid to journey .
