Life is like being in a doctor's waiting room

When you’re in a waiting room you’re just trying to think of shit to do until the doctor calls you into his office. In life, you’re just trying to think of things to do until you die.

Life for many people can be very boring and unfulfilling. Many of us have no goals, no ambitions, and don’t know who we are. We’re constantly trying to fill our time with random shit until their time is up. Blocking out the unpleasant realities that surround us.

If you want to live a more fulfilling life you need to have a purpose, but it’s not easy to find one. You can’t fake purpose, or it’s not a purpose just a comforting lie.

Even people with lots of money struggle with this. They get rich and end up doing activities they don’t care much about and going on a lot of holidays. Eventually, they kick the bucket and say “I have 100 regrets”.

Purpose is completely inorganic

No one is special therefore no one is born to be anything special or specific in life even though it might seem that way. Some people are very suited to do certain things and completely incapable of doing much else, but that doesn’t mean it’s the purpose, it means they’re fit for a specific job.
