What else is there to life besides:

Finding [u]shelter[/u] (making money to get a home and everything else you need to survive), finding [u]love[/u] (getting married), making [u]children[/u] (and raising them) and [u]building[/u] stuff (creating whatever you do for work)?

Is this all what life sums up to?
First you get the money. Then you get the power. Then you get the women
Too many things to type: but in generalization: purpose, Learning, growth, discovery, actions that expand the mind.

Appreciation of things outside of yourself, wonder and awe in how nature operates, and being happy to be a part of it

It’s mostly a mental thing in my view

@BigbangFACTS so it's mostly about learning and practicing for you.
@Dan193 the most qualitative part, yes

@SW-User what are u intending to do?
SW-User
@Dan193 I intend to help the underprivileged and those with special needs, esp orphans with their education, as I have done it before
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SW-User That is something I would like to do too. I have a special place in my heart for orphans.

There's joy in helping others and being useful in the world.
Living in joy with/without the desires getting fulfilled devoid of any regrets.
@Dan193 Sure! We all have the potential. Joy is within and hence no pt in looking elsewhere.

@sspec Alright, it just sounds like it will be exhausting feeling joy all the time. Or not?
@Dan193 Joy is you as in real sense who won't get tired with time not your relative body which is temporary.

Pretty much, thats as impressive as it gets! imo.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@SW-User That's what I was thinking, but I was hoping that maybe there are people that found something more than that.
SW-User
@Dan193 where? Bare bones that's all everyone as ever amounted to, just differing degrees of it. Some rich, some poor, some famous, some not!

Truckers distribute. Be a trucker.

A semi trucker doesn’t create, they distribute what others created. It’s a slight variation. You could be a nomad. I hope to do this. Of course I’ll sleep most nights in my truck. Off work I’ll have no home, perhaps a P.O. Box address, a few things in storage and a car. I’ll travel when I’m off work and stay optionally at hotels or sleep in my car during off time. It sounds like a pretty fun way to live for a while.

feeling actually alive and free

@SW-User I like it when u get up on a hill and there is nobody around and you just feel the wind and the freedom in that moment.
