  • I have also felt that way when I was depressed, and found that, for myself, my current perspective is much more conducive to an enjoyable life - - it was brain wash myself or be miserable, and this worked well. I understand though, that my journey is my own and I don’t fault anyone for their perspective either. So I guess, if I’m a bit more honest, this is just the meaning of life for me.

    Another way I see it is that meaning itself is the meaning of life. We are meaning machines, it’s what we bring to the universe. Without us the universe truly is meaningless and for that reason I feel life is immeasurably valuable.

    And to be perfectly blunt, what you describe is beyond a victim mentality, it’s an entire victim identity, and I’d recommend finding a less self destructive path.

    The meaning of life? Learning to enjoy it. Realizing that even though it’s a grind sometimes, every instance is something like a miracle, because given all the things from a microbiological scale to an astronomical scale that had to align in just the right sequence for this moment to occur, the probability that you’d even exist to be reading this message is so incredibly close to nil and yet it is happening.
