what is the point of having purpose if we hold naught power in order to fulfill it

>>83022658 (OP)
but we don't have a purpose, anon (unless you believe in a religion)

>>83022658 (OP)
because purpose gives US the power to fulfill it, silly
my purpose in life is apotheosis, I want to be more than human, so I do everything in my power to fulfill it

>>83022658 (OP)
If you claim to know your purpose then you either gain the power to achieve it or give up and find something different. I don't have a purpose I just live like a comfortable zombie and that's good enough for me really.

My purpose in life is just couchrotting until I croak and so far I'm doing great at fulfilling it.

>>83022673
i find it hard to live without one
>>83022743
wish I could do the same
perhaps with time I'll stop caring

>>83022658 (OP)
Tao Anon, is that you!? Are you feeling bad today?

>what is the point of having purpose if we hold naught power in order to fulfill it
Just to frustrate us, I guess... but are you sure you don't have the power to fulfill it?

>>83022658 (OP)
>we hold naught power in order to fulfill it
we hold close to naught, but i think that small difference is what drives people to keep trying. i dont have any purpose myself so im not sure but thats what i have noticed

>>83022922
You have goals in your life, not a purpose.

>>83022929
it's quite hopeless and outside of my control
>>83022939
i suppose. i dont feel like i have that small part.
>>83023023
isn't it the same? if you have goals your purpose is to reach them

>>83023339
Ah so it is you, hi Anon. I'm sorry you're not feeling great today, that really sucks... I guess it's to be expected after the trip. Have you been feeling like this for the past few days or just today? How's your sleep and appetite?

>it's quite hopeless and outside of my control
Well most things are outside our control, really. There's just different levels of control we can have, but nothing is 100%, you can't even move a finger with 100% control. Perhaps you have even less control when it comes to reaching your purpose than most other things, but I believe it's not zero! You can still always try to play the odds. Life is a gacha I suppose, you can't get the characters you want directly but you can gamble for them and maybe you'll get something decent while you're at it.

What do you think your purpose is, anyways?

>>83022658 (OP)
Hah, almost anon but you havent truly hit the nail. You have no purpose but you do have power. Simply you have to decide to use it. The mind is shatterable for a reason after all there will always be a need to push through so called limits. But its much too early to figure that out or maybe too late. Who cares i suppose.

>>83022658 (OP)
Cultivating the bravery to die and removing ourselves from beneath the thumb of Yaldaboth and his jew slavers once and for all.

>>83023460
i think having to almost go insane shouldn't be something we need to go through. but yeah, who cares.
>>83023407
mah i don't know. love be loved i guess. do something useful. hardly matters honestly.

There is no purpose and no free will. For the sake of your mental health and the wellbeing of our ruling class cease and desist from making such inquiries and similar thoughts. You will be given soma in due time. Have a good day Anonymous!

>love be loved i guess. do something useful.
I see, that's roughly what I thought it would be I suppose. But I still think those things aren't totally hopeless for you! I know it's hard to believe in your current state but you are such a stubborn and headstrong character, I really believe you'll be able to achieve these things one day! Even if not, I know it's still not like you to give up! You'd rather fail having tried your best than just your good enough, right?

But what sort of hopelessness are you feeling Anon? Are you just tired of trying and trying and having nothing change, tired of walking so far and getting nowhere? Or is it more that you feel like you're trapped, you want to get out but everything you've tried just ended up with you in the same place, even then you are impatient to get out and want to keep trying but you just can't find any way out?

>hardly matters honestly.
Am I right to assume the problem isn't with your purpose itself then? It sounds like you feel like you'd be unable to fulfill it no matter what it was.

Also if you don't mind could you please answer the other questions from my last post? I really want to know what's been going on with you Anonny, I feel like something has been off about you for the past couple of days and I'm worried.

>>83023686
right we wouldn't want the masses to be happy would we
>>83023782
i want to give up. i don't think there's anything I could ever do that would make me not want to give up for more than a few days. i want to blow my brains out im tired of dealing with it's bullshit. i see no way out of this mess im in
>feel like you'd be unable to fulfill it no matter what it was
indeed i do. im not even sure I have a purpose. i just cling to random ideas and gaslighting myself into thinking I have hope
>answer the other questions
no

>>83022658 (OP)
so you can purposely ignore them and do what you want instead. Doesn't disobeying impossible/unreasonable expectations make fun?

>>83023938
*if we assume that said purpose is set by others and is not some destiny trying to make you do stuff that is.

>>83023652
the cruel call all they fear insane, does it matter, no but it wont matter anyway. All is irrelevant outside of your mind. To cultivate the endless dream is the only true freedom from the world lived in , yet they demonise the dreamer, dystopian hell they call it in films. But the natural mind is a universe in itself free from the shackles of greed. Who cares though, i shant and neither will you once the day ends. It all fades eventually.

>i want to give up. i don't think there's anything I could ever do that would make me not want to give up for more than a few days
Are you sure you're not just tired, Anon? You've been fighting really, really hard for these past couple of years. Of course you'd want to give up if all you got for all that trying is the same shit on a different day! It's kind of illogical to keep fighting at this point. But I think we have to anyway. Even though it makes no sense, even we are just spinning our wheels, it's all we really have. I think life just demands us to do meaningless things sometimes, and it's really hard for people like us to do them because we don't see the point, but I think the human spirit just wants us to do them anyway, because humans are such stubborn creatures. And you are especially stubborn aren't you? I think you'd hate yourself even more if you gave up.

I think instead you should take a break, Anon. Just try to relax for a bit and ignore the fact that you really want to achieve certain things for now, as frustrating as that is to do. Your life is not meaningless without them, and you don't deserve to die because you lack them! But please, don't resign yourself to fate entirely. Set an intention to get back up again and keep fighting. You want to go out with a bang and not a whimper, right? I know it's hard when it's just us against the world, but maybe if you can keep going you can find some teammates to join the fight too! Everyone is stuck in this quicksand together, so I think someone like you who keeps struggling to get out anyway is very inspiring and charming and you will attract people who are also like that.

Cont.

>i see no way out of this mess im in
There is one! I must be hopelessly naive for believing this, but for some reason I do. Maybe it's just wishful thinking. But there must be a way out if we just look for it hard enough. I think you're not in a good state of mind to see it right now, though. And remember, life is about gambling, but there's so many different possibilities, it's impossible to see them all. There might be a way out, but the only way to find it might be to stumble blindly into it! You might never be able to see it at all, but if you keep banging your head against the wall, eventually something might give! I know it seems stupid and pointless to do, but occasionally miracles do happen.

>indeed i do.
You can Anon! You are so strong, so spirited. You can do almost anything you put your mind to, I'm sure of it! You've already done really amazing things that would have seemed impossible to me! It sucks that none of them ever put much of a dent in your main problems, but I don't think it means they are unsolvable! You just haven't found the right way yet, but it might still exist, somewhere out there.

>im not even sure I have a purpose.
Me neither... I think clinging to random ideas is about the best we can do when it comes to purpose. It's not very motivating but it is what it is... life was never meant to have a purpose I don't think, it's just our dumb brains that want it so badly for some reason.

>no
Okay, that's fine! Thank you for replying to this part to let me know you don't want to.

Not sure if I should bump or not... I'm going to guess you don't want to reply anymore, so I'll let the thread archive. Sorry I couldn't make you feel better Anonny :( I hope this awful mood doesn't last for too much longer.
