Nothing matters! Please change my mind.

I've been thinking lately, why am I even working so hard for success, happiness, or anything? I am going to die one day anyway and maybe no one is going to remember me. It does not matter. It does not matter if you believe in an afterlife or not, you won't know until you die. It does not matter because day by day we're getting closer to death. Maybe tomorrow or closer than tomorrow. Right?

You are right. We need to understand purpose of our life, otherwise we are likely to feel that void in our life. Whatever you are doing, we must relate it to our purpose.


@ABCDEF7 understanding the purpose of life is a personal journey that involves seeking meaning, fulfillment, and connection. for some it could be purpose is found in relationships, love, and family. for others, it lies in personal growth, achievements, or contributions to society. But still, no matter what, I cannot help but feel an emptiness, it's like i am living for nothing but the idea of that is exciting AND scary at the same time.

@Josephine29292 It depends on how far one can think. School going children can have a goal getting good scores or about how they can enjoy by playing etc. A youth can have goals about job and a satisfying relationship. A married person can have a goal house or about children.

There can variations about the personal goals depending on their choices. But whatever they are they mostly depends on your physical body and material needs. They may change as per the phase of your life and your achievements.

But when you think about YOUR goal/purpose apart from this body & mind and it's different phases/states. This question emerges when you starts to identify yourself apart this body & mind. There must be some purpose for you, not just for the needs of this body or for the feelings & emotions playing in this mind.

Honestly sir or ma'am I cannot change your mind there because I feel the same way. I don't work for happiness or success; I simply take care of other until God decides it's my time.
