The meaning of life

[Blue SkiesParticipant 15665]

The meaning of life MUST be decided by you. If you let someone else or society decide the meaning of your life, then you are not going your own way. it’s that simple

Tradcons let society and others decide their meaning. Therefore, they don’t really think for themselves.

if you looked at a painting, or listened to a song. you may interpret a meaning for that piece of art. everyone will interpret the meaning slightly differently. you should not let others determine the meaning for you.

life is meaningless until you give it meaning.
as you grow, the meaning you give to your life may evolve, that’s normal. it’s not written in stone.

i’m sure most of us have a pre-Mgtow meaning of life and post-mgtow meaning of life.

thoughts?

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

My personal belief is the meaning to life is accepting the nothingness of it all.

Once an individual starts actively searching for or creating meaning then the truth/nature gets concealed. We can’t arrive to a meaning by actively searching for it. At some points things are supposed to come to being, they should click.

At least the vague idea or the promise of being truthful to oneself suggests that.

The tiny things you and I don’t even think about or concern ourselves with are what define us. To me it is not what we pursue, but rather what we do not pursue.

There is freedom in the negative/vaccuum. Once we start actively pursuing a goal, it will by necessity attract both positives and negatives – we must do what it takes to achieve that goal. Our true self gets compromised if not outright ignored.

You can’t know this. It may be their true calling or what they identify with.

No accomplished individual becomes a critic. Or rather no critic is accomplished. Hypocritical of me since I am all too happy to criticize women and gynocentric society. But the aim (in distant future) is to rise about judgments and criticism of others.

Only way I can be free. My own judgments imprison me.

I genuinely believe life is full of meaning – by default. The emptiness of it is the only meaning. It starts to lose its meaning when we stuff it with ideals, and rules.

Too philosophical but much like walking away from women to seek peace and content, believing in nothing and living as true to oneself as a person can be is the most meaningful way.

My apologies if it sounds too insane, the process of unplugging requires some random stabs at the thin air because society in large has failed humanity to promote self-awareness.

I have always believed in God from time immemorable. I needn’t anything but my senses and logic to know there is a God. On clear days one can see the Sun and the moon at the same time in the same sky being the same size. For those who site this as mere coincidence, I ask them to stand in that Sun until they burn their brow then walk into the woods and apply aloe over the burned area and tell me more about coincidences. I also knew from youth that I would never marry, though I tried all through my adolescence and early adult life to force myself into a more traditional role. I tried everything and now stand alone at the height of my powers. I have found that by finally being able to look behind the veil of illusions whether created by society or myself and finding only God there, that that is all the meaning I have ever needed. I have become a MGTOW, a monk, and a ghost more of me is disappearing daily and I could not be more happy about that. I am dancing at the foot of my Lord all is bliss all is bliss.

That could explain why there are so many truly lost,unhappy people and so much substance abuse.

Instead of chasing some vague meaning why not find out what brings you the most joy and happiness?

Until then I believe you’ll never be content,oh and don’t lie to yourself either-it’s the worst thing.

Doing what others expect you to do/be is a road to a life time of misery for sure.

Good example here-marrying because your parents expect grandchildren from you.

Lifes a bitch,but you don't have to marry one!

Pre-MGTOW – Your life is given meaning through societal indoctrination into the lies and empty promises of the matrix via the blue pill.

MGTOW – After transitioning through the red pill rage, you are FREE to find your own meaning, and choose your own path.

The meaning to life is relative to the Person experiencing life.

If life had a defined meaning you could only live it one way.

[John DoeParticipant 743]

Usually the answer is already in the statement and/or question.

In this statement we see that “meaning” is “of” “life” and from it one can observe a “hierarchical” structure (I do not like that word, but it will do for now) in that “Life” precedes “meaning” in a linear perspective, is higher in a vertical perspective, fuller in respect to grade, etc. because “life” manifests “meaning” for “meaning” is of “life”. The whole key word in understanding this concept, or better yet observation, is the simple word “of”.

The better question rather than the traditional “what is the meaning of life” (which already is limiting to the answer as it declares being in the form of “what” rather than a “who” or “how” etc. and in this respect makes the answer fundamentally formative by nature [as in a+b=c] without giving a formula for the “precendent” of formulas) would be “The nature of life?”.

And this would be an appropriate question as we are observing evidence simply through the statement/question “(What is) The meaning of Life.(?)” that life potentially has a multifaceted nature for meaning “is” not life but rather “of” life. And in this simple “of” we see a relationship of some form, some shape, which is difficult to analyze in formula or give evidence through instinct alone yet can be observed none the less.

It is in this act of “observation” that some “meaning” is found in the statement, however little depth or grade it maybe… for observation is both active and passive at the same time in different respects.

Take for example this whole discussion. The statement “the meaning of life” is aware to us, we reflect up it, and from this reflection we form an image of “meaning” in order to allude to some knowledge in one respect while “form” it in another. We observe in an active sense. In a passive respect, our observations/reflections/images are observed by another (person) and they are reflected upon us and we receive them…further manifesting an image of “the meaning of life”.

So, what of all of this? We can observe, with strong evidence, that within the meaning of life is “observation” that manifests in the grades/levels of the senses from which meaning is both formed and simultaneously received.

That was a really good post, what did you study to come up with it?

Thanks Mr. Arch-vile, I appreciate the compliment.

In regards to what did I study…well from an intellectual standpoint: I just read everything in front of me regardless of its source and just let it “be”.

From a experiential? Life.

From a spiritual? I ask God, the Creator, for wisdom and strength everyday.

That’s about it. I am practicing my writing skills, or better yet continuing to hone them. I do a lot of “writing” (mostly just notes) and to make a long story very, very short I was invited up to the Harvard Club in New York with the potential (and I want to emphasize that word “potential” as there is no guarantee [especially in this life]) for a master’s degree in Philosophy. So…I figured I would jump in here, get some feedback, be a dick and brag a little (while the good things last), and in general just “practice” thinking again.

That, and this is a very common question within the realm of philosophy…but most in just everyday life. Everyone faces it at one point or another.
