Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter.
Explore the world. Nearly everything is really intrstng if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do best.
Life is chosen suffering - that's all it is, we have to pick the suffering that gives us the most meaning in exchange.
IF we do not pick, we are assigned a form of suffering; e.g. mediocrity in your career is a form of suffering. Being obese and unfit is a form of suffering.
To live is to suffer, but being able to pick your choice of suffering is a form of bliss.
consciousness seems to have this annoying lag where experience happens first & meaning often arrives way way later if even that.
maybe maturity is partly learning this pattern well enough that occasionally you manage to recognize something beautiful while it’s still happening.
One of the clearest signs of HIGH INTELLIGENCE is having no desire to be seen, admired, or understood by people, at peace with being misunderstood, and incredibly skilled at the art of letting go.
“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” – Jacob Riis
“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do wht it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to gtee disappointment. - Atomic Habits James Clear
Thought is the opposite of computation.
When you think - you think about ‘something’.
But nothing in computation has any aboutness to it !
