If you're starting to think about the meaning of life, then you:
a) Are already getting old
b) Are a philosopher
c) Should get busy or see a psychologist

...Although these days, even if you're not old or a philosopher... you can see a psychologist once a month (or once a quarter), and there's nothing wrong with that (given the world and life we live in)... For now, I prefer alternative ways to find time, relax, and think about EXISTENCE...
P.S. Of course, not over a glass of something strong!!!

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 a person is just an animal, but that's not the case. There are plenty of people who don't think about the meaning of life in modern pop culture. These people are easy to control. It's easy to manipulate them with advertising and pop music. People say "the masses eat it up" about such people. A normal person should at least sometimes think about what they live for, 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 an easier path. There's nothing difficult about deciding to commit suicide. "I'll just push a chair out from under myself, 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 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.

Yeah, and perhaps they would be happier than they are now... but that's just a side note:D
"Much wisdom leads to much grief, and the more knowledge, the more sorrow," as Ecclesiastes said, when he was closer to the Stone Age than we are to him.
I could say a lot about controlling "unthinking" people and about the "ease" of suicide... but I won't...
And so-called pop stars are actually very thoughtful people, a hundred times smarter than you and me (I'm not talking about brainless blondes who have dollars instead of pupils:smile04:, although they also have their own ideas about life, apparently)... they just make money:rolleyes: they just... and cleverly... because it's very difficult to make money from "la-la"! You have to make sure that your "la-la" coincides with someone else's "yo-yo"! And that takes great skill and always carries the risk of failure. Show business is a roller coaster that crushes itself first:smile25:

Yeah, they probably would have been happier than they are now... just saying.
You know what? I agree! But in general, stagnation is not an option. People just started developing in the wrong direction. I could also give a lecture now about the physical and spiritual paths of development, but I won't.

That’s it, I’ve found the meaning of my life! I will simply live, live in such a way that: “No one can say that I didn’t live!” (Dialogue). I will fight against everything I disagree with. I will defend my opinion, my right to have an opinion. I will LIVE!

I recently made a note in my notebook: "Life should be lived in such a way that you would want to look at yourself from the outside, as if you were the main character in a movie, and not just once!
Whether someone prefers comedies, melodramas, or soap operas is their personal business. But it's more enjoyable to watch a person in motion."
MOTION = LIFE, STOP = ....

I simply believe in something that shatters dogmas.
The best way is not to age,
That songs can stop bombs,
And that silence is death...:smile20:

It’s a pity for those who think this way. They sincerely want to live their lives in a way that makes the world a better place. They fight for kindness and justice. And it’s sad to see how all their attempts end in failure. And the worst thing is that their loved ones suffer as a result.

It’s sad when people watch a bird trying to fly out of a closed window and hitting the glass, and they just stand there and watch instead of helping it and opening the window.

But they don't care anyway. They will just keep watching. Yesterday, I heard this phrase:
"Don't be afraid of friends – they can only betray you. Don't be afraid of enemies – they can only kill you. Fear the indifferent, for with their silent consent, they betray and kill."
The meaning of life is not to be indifferent!

It immediately brings so many things to mind... first of all, you shouldn't pity those who are happy! Secondly, I didn't quite understand what you meant about loved ones:confused:
And finally, by making the world better for ourselves, we spoil someone's mood. We shouldn't do that. We need to find someone we can make happy and do it, and then another, and another...

Those who are close to such fighters always worry about them and try to make their struggle easier. And they stop paying attention to themselves. But the fighters don't notice this help from their loved ones.
And there's no need to try to help someone if they don't want it. Don't force them into paradise with an iron fist.

I don't understand who is forcing whom?:) Helping an old lady cross the street – is that some kind of forced relocation to Paradise?:D

You're contradicting yourself. A few posts ago, you said that the scariest people are those who are indifferent... and now you're saying not to bother anyone, not to help even close people, i.e., you should become indifferent to a person's efforts?? :confused:

Being indifferent and not forcing help are different things. It's one thing to "not notice" a grandmother who needs to be helped across the road, and another to jump around her, shouting: "Let me help you!" You need to act unobtrusively, but you still need to act. And that's the main thing.
