Okay, let's imagine a person who simply lives. They are born, study, work, get married, "reproduce," and die. That's their whole life. It's easy to conclude that humans are just animals, but that's not the case. There are plenty of people who don't think about the meaning of life, especially in modern pop culture. These people are easy to control. It's easy to manipulate them with advertising and pop music. People say about such individuals that "the masses eat it up." A normal person should at least sometimes think about why they live because sooner or later, they will think about it anyway, but it will be too late. A bullet in the head is a sign of weakness. The person is afraid to roll up their sleeves and chooses the easier path. There's nothing complicated about deciding to commit suicide. "I'll just push a chair out from under me, and it will all be over." If a person holds a gun to their head and struggles with the question of "to shoot or not to shoot," it means that they still have some willpower left, even if it's minimal. Suicide is always easy: "click," and it's over. You put your wrists in a sink full of water and watch your life drain away. If everyone lived without thinking about the meaning of life, we wouldn't have Socrates, Plato, Shakespeare, Aristotle, Archimedes, Rembrandt, or Dante. The world would still be in the Stone Age.
