    That’s what happens when your life is handed to you on a silver plate. Working, struggling a little, raising a family, taking care of a house and other stuff keeps you busy and gives you purpose. But it could just be mental illness in this case, we don’t know.

    You ever play a video game where you turn on infinite items and health and it suddenly is super boring?

    That can happen with life. I bet that’s why so many billionaires are crazy.

      A lot of us are. It’s hard to invent your own purpose. Was probably easier when purpose was thrust upon you (grow or find food or you’ll die). I’m not saying life was better in the past. We live in fantastic times but it comes with different challenges. Finding purpose in life is a very real and difficult challenge.

    It’s not about the everything. It’s about what and how you have done with your life: choices, actions, history, experiences, progress, memories and principles you stand and dreams you strive for. Whether you’ve made good or bad in any aspect or at all, do you truly like the life you journey? At the end, it’s all your done, and no one’s else should definitely be as you’re given your body, abilities, grants and chances all just to make what’s on your mind come true on your own (force/will). It’s stupid to regret after you miss or abuse or reject the opportunities you had or probabilities you knew. All you have to do is move forward and do yourself better and find ways to truly achieve and fulfill if you still want and never give up.

    Stuff doesn’t make us happy, people do. It’s always been like that. If we spend less time with people, in person, we will be less happy.
