You just say you need a personal day and leave it at that. JFC.

It helped me find out more about life and nature. Subconsciously gave me way to live.

Jesus, what kind of shitty bosses do people have? I just text and say “won’t be in today sorry” and that’s it.

I found meaning when I had children

You have to be part of something bigger than yourself.

I disagree. I'm old, it's late, and I'm tired. Closure is never necessary.

There is no meaning of life. Life is what you live everyday. Find what you enjoy and work to be able to do that. Enjoy the small moments and don’t feel like there is anything greater because there isn’t. You’ll often find the memories you find the fondest are the ones where you didn’t realize you were enjoying them as they were happening.

Life is full of suffering, as Buddha said, it is up to you to understand that most of the things that cause you suffering are made of thoughts you created or cannot control, and create your inner peace, for you and others.

To control it is the way of living. That is to reach enlightment. To face life as it is and not biased by your thoughts.

Death is just something that is part of life. There is a story told of a woman who brought her dead child to Buddha and begged him to bring her child back to life. Buddha asked the woman to bring a mustard seed from a house where no one had ever died. Only then would he grant her wish. She of course, could not find a household saved from the pain of death and she was then struck by the universality of dying.

Do something -- even a little thing -- good for others.

enjoy your time in the sun friend! thats all!

If there’s no after life then it doesn’t matter what you do. You can decide your purpose. But the fact that you seem to be seeking an answer beyond your subjective opinion suggests you intuitively know there has to be a more objective standard of purpose and meaning.

If life ultimately has no purpose other than our subjectivity then it stands to reason that you just make it up as you go. Your purpose you give yourself is just as valid as someone else, at least objectively no one can call you out and say your perspective is wrong. But if you want an answer with more substance and grounding, then it has to fall on something objective.

It’s not innocent because it’s encouraging being dishonest. This is the wrong sub for that

Just gotta decide for yourself what's worth living for. For some it's money, some it's family, some it's adventure, etc. It's all up to you

Depends on the situation. Closure is really necessary. I wouldn't expect a "done and ghost" unless there is physical abuse, infidelity or illegal activity. Closure is 100% expected and needed, imo.

If there's something troubling me, I find thinking about it helpful. Might be a work situation, or a conversation at home, or the meaning of life. Just take some time.

No need to apologize to me. Seems like a much easier decision, though, in that case. Life or nothing.

Good luck? We're rooting for you.

I am by no means an expert. I had felt like life had been pointless as well in the past due to various reasons and with various ok intensity. The methods I were able to use to cope and get through those tough times as well as move myself forwards were two different strategies.

Spite. This one worked very well but also has a double edge sword. When circumstances, whether it's people, the environment, or other situation spite was able to get me through the toughest times. "Want to see me fail? F*** you! I'm not letting you win!" The down side to this is that I've often fallen backwards after achieving the goal and it becomes a loop.

Enjoyment\Hobby\Something to look forward to. This one is more positive, and generally for me lasts longer and doesn't have a fall at the end due to having new stuff to look forward to before the first one even ended. A simple example would be a show \ series you enjoy or an event you would like to attend; like a significant other's birthday or other significant event.

I would also recommend seeking professional help.

Sorry, but I don’t believe in afterlife

It's especially hard knowing that this isn't the end. After living on earth, you get to live eternally in heaven. (Or the alternative) but knowing that, it's like, why would I want to be here when I can be there? Just trust God's plan, I guess.

Seek meaning/purpose

Just do things u enjoy, and tolerate work to pay for it lol
