I think one of the greatest mistakes we can make in life is believing that we’re supposed to spend our time doing what other people tell us is important, rather than following the things that genuinely interest us. We come into this world with certain inclinations, curiosities, and things that naturally draw our attention. Some people are fascinated by music, others by art, science, martial arts, philosophy, or any number of other things. These interests aren’t meaningless distractions from what we’re supposed to be doing with our lives. They’re often the very things that give our lives meaning. And yet, somewhere along the way, we’re taught to ignore them in favor of what society considers practical, respectable, or successful. We begin measuring our lives according to someone else’s standards, and then wonder why we feel so unfulfilled.
I think the point of life is much simpler than we’ve been led to believe. Follow your interests. Find the things that make you curious, that make you want to get out of bed in the morning, that you would happily spend your time doing even if nobody ever paid you or praised you for them. Then devote yourself to those things. See how deeply you can explore them, how much you can learn, and what sort of person you become through that process. You don’t have to turn every interest into a career, or justify it by explaining how it benefits the world. Not everything has to be productive in the conventional sense. Sometimes the value of doing something is simply that it makes you feel fully alive. We have a very limited amount of time here, and I can’t think of a greater waste of that time than spending it pursuing a life that doesn’t genuinely interest us.
@LongBeardPro If you can bend light and also create mass cancellation you don’t need to put objects inside us. It’s archaic in comparison so, not space aliens.
