The Meaning Of Trying To Search For Meaning

It's not a matter of writing to show or please that matters, it's the reason behind why I write such jargons which postpones my life sentence that does. However, even writings aren't meant to be the final verdict. 

Is anything or everything irrelevant? 
Asked obviously no one in history. 

My deep dive into nihilism isn't anything new; in fact, it has probably been incorporated into my ideology like centuries before I was even born. But that doesn't matter, anyway. 
Today's blog post is going talk about the importance of understanding why and what reason does one need to fall into the holes of nothingness. 

First of all:- 

I'm mentally retarded, so don't take my word for granted, second of all, I'm trying my best not to be certain. If I try to be certain, ye can nuke this whole planet- might as well, since we obviously don't matter until blasting off into space like some good old cosmos ingredients (yummy!). 

Let's begin then, shall we ? (As if anyone is answering this part of this my post). 

Man's search for meaning since the beginning of their rationale has been quite a prosperous path; for once some organic species thought that they could get on top of the world through their amazing capabilities and curiosity. Well, guess what ?

*SPOILER ALERT* 

We were wrong!!! 

Or were we ? 

Blatantly, time and time again, people have come to terms with different lens when it comes to constituting their belief on this topic. It's one of the top philosophical questions that we won't be able to answer for millennia to come. If we can, then of course, congratulations to us and whoever gets that amazing piece of artifact called the 'Nobel Peace Prize' 
( Top jokes humanity made up to make themselves feel better). 

Meaning and existence concerns ourselves with the supposed cycle of life and death. In order to live life, one must have the basic necessities inscribed within the laymen's textbook of Biology:- organic molecules, some stuff I didn't learn from my Biology class, the presentation I'm about to give tomorrow and of course, O2. 

In all seriousness, besides the biological necessities humans need companionship and social necessities as well- thanks for the obvious statement. Often, people's reply to the nihilist's demise is to stay in touch with the pragmatic aspect of reality- like mate, they've most likely tried that out and it's the reason why they've sunk to that phase. Of course, not everyone can cling on to the system,  and no one's obliged to. Yes, there will be consequences and other several bajillion dumbarsery moves that we've made over the course of more than 2 millennia. 

The conjoined ceremony of death and life has failed. Life happened within a particular probability, some may call this luck, some may call this dumb. It's what it is, a stroke of chance with certain conditions. It may as well have not occurred in the first place. 

To propose that life is either meaningful or meaningless goes down to a more convoluted form of absurdism. There are ways to say that it is meaningful or meaningless. The reality of the topic isn't even evident and by that I mean that reality itself proves to be absurd in answering our question of meaning, life and death. We only know the mumbo jumbo we spout to ourselves and the frequent every day life we live. Is it meant to be joyful, pleasant or excruciating ? We don't really have an objective answer for it. 

We've pondered over and over for thousands of years but the simple conclusion we've arrived it is the same that Socrates himself was certain of. The knowledge of knowing nothing at all. That's about the only certainty we can play around with. The rest of it is just a critique and endless amounts of theories regarding ourselves. If it's pointless, should we keep living or go on about our daily life that we didn't ask for ? 
I don't know either, maybe in the future there'll be a kind of society that let's you choose your own meaning and way of life instead tying you to their own. Much like virtual reality, this would be like the utopian concept of ours. 

The issue with trying to garner an empathetic, polite and harmonious society is the riddle behind why and how humans think and the relevance behind its existence. It's not divergence that concerns anyone but iteration. One could definitely ignore all these questions and have a preference on how everyone should persist living; however, to be certain about even a lifestyle would be a violation to man's search for meaning. 

A lifestyle, ideology, belief system, identity or system can't be consistent or constant for long. Even a well privileged human with a sealed image or identity needs to move forward when despair entraps their deeds and delusions. 

The entire point of life is unknown and we've deluded ourselves for millennia upon millennia. How much longer will it take before we realise our own mental asylum ? 
Is a human afraid to cease connections from satisfaction, dissatisfaction and fear? Or do they desire it so much that the mental asylum has become their wonderland ? 


This isn't me trying to promote a conspiracy theory, of course XD. 

This along with uncountable number of other questions may remain unanswered for eternity and so shall the purpose behind our self-implied 'significant' existence.
