Perhaps you should consider exploring the path of religion or spirituality. Faith has a way of providing inner peace and grounding. As humans, we are inherently designed to seek meaning through connection, building a family, and raising children. Watching them grow can bring a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment that no material success can replace. This might be the key to rediscovering what truly matters in life.

The fact that people can believe things via “faith” that have no empirical basis in reality scares me. It certainly doesn’t provide any inner peace or grounding to me.

  • Humans are animals. Spiritual animals.

    As for faith, why do we all toil when, in godless philosophy, everything we do is fundamentally meaningless? Why do you persist? What is that reason, if not illogical faith in some purpose. Read Camus.

      I have no idea what “spiritual” means in this context, so until you can clearly define that, my position is: no, we’re just animals.

      I don’t believe I (or anyone else) have any fundamental purpose for existing. If you have evidence to the contrary, please share.
