I mean, there is no meaning in nature, it was man who invented it, and often it appeared because of a scarcity, for example, the point is in a beautiful woman, because you are unlikely to find another one as beautiful, right?, or can you find a person who will support you and accept you as you are, like your loved ones? The examples are not the best, but I hope you get the idea.
In addition, I will say that about a year ago I watched the film "The Seventh Seal", and now sometimes I feel in the place of a character named Antonius Block. I dismissed the inevitable by refraining from suicide as a teenager, thinking I could find the meaning of life, but what was to be expected, nothing worked out. But especially now, how shall I put it... in the age of AI, it is impossible to escape the truth, self-deception no longer works, at least for me personally.
Chess Game with Death:
that's easy for you to say. it's just that a lot of people don't have a gut feeling that tells them what to do. so, for many people, without an external leader of sorts, they fall back depressed and sit around all day, at least that's what i've learned from observing the people around me.
i'd even go as far as to say that there's a very strong correlation between being politically left/right and being able to find meaning in your own life from within, without an external leader/authority/religion telling you what to do.
