The REAL Meaning of Life.

YouTube presented a video to me with the title:

‘The Goal Of Life Is Meaning, Not Happiness.’

And I thought: haha.

Sure.

Okay.

Whatever.

It’s so funny to me how the world is full of statements.

An endless amount of things that people claim to be true.

Nonchalantly.

Without a doubt.

Like they invented this shit.

So you get things like:

The meaning of life is that there’s no meaning.

Or:

The meaning of life is whatever you think it is.

And everything in between.

But the fact is, of course, that nobody knows.

Nobody.

Not even some shriveled 100-year-old Buddhist body in an orange blanket.

Not a book that’s about something that can’t be described.

Not a YouTube video, or a dancing Hawaiian goddess, or a professor.

Or a blog, like this one.

Nobody knows anything.

Nobody knows.

Nobody.

Now what?

Haha, so cool!
