hedonism is only one path to complete emptiness...
good luck with that.
It is to live "Now" and "be" and accept things for what they are.
meaning is an invention of man. there is no meaning or ultimate purpose to life that you dont give yourself. society has created a kind of goal that is the closest you can get to why are we here. what is the meaning of life is a question with no answer and is one of the big reasons religion exists, so people can have a sense of purpose or believe that maybe their lives will add up to something. look at it this way, before we evolved, learned to speak and use technology outside of stone tools, what was the meaning then. what is the meaning of life for a bird. the only instinctive goal is survive and reproduce. so life really has no meaning, but that doesnt mean it cannot be enjoyed or that you cant care about things. i could go on and on on this but im not going to
Live and let live...
Existence precedes essence. Life is what you make it, you are condemned to freedom and therefore responsible for all your actions. Inner peace, outer harmony ;)

We are only a bunch of bacteria that work logically together. There is no meaning, there is no answer, and technically no questions. We only strive to do what the bacteria needs, the rest (including conscious thought) is just filler.
It's a good theory, no offense, but nobody really gives a shit wether you want to be happy or not, if you want to play this game so called "life" you need to play by rules, and these rules are education, work, retirement, and then coffin. Everything in between is for you to decide, you can have fun, and you can smoke the herb, but if you have no education, no job, then you have no money, no money, no herb, no herb, no fun, and youll end up living in a cardboard box with a guy named Sue. So play the game, but improvise.Quote:
