@valobasa4ever As I have said, Life is change. Only how it changes is infinitely complex
Yet further more it's recursive. Always circling back like a endless spiral.
Time itself can only move forward. Never fully backwards. So everything is progressive over times cycles. In the past though it only progressed ever so slowly.
Yet now it's progressing faster than before. Again like a spiral that resembles a natural logrithem or a fractal design. Ever expanding outwards.
This is my own philosophy BTW.
You are not likely to find it anywhere else.

I've realized that there is no purpose, no meaning, therefore the desire to chase it is evil, since you can never obtain it, leaving you empty.
What is the meaning of life?
Is it to do good and to make other people's lives better? Then the meaning would be happiness. But we all die and then it ends right, so does that end the meaning of everything if all living things die? If we live forever, is happiness the meaning of life at that point? I'd take that much rather than being sad forever, but is there actually any meaning to the feeling alone?
When we think of meaning, we tend to see it as an end goal. In movies it tends to be someone fighting against evil, you can clearly feel that the characters in that kind of movie has meaning, but the meaning is fulfilled and ends at the end of the movie. If it ends, is it really the answer to what the meaning of life is, just struggling to get to a better place?
If you're a christian like myself, then you believe that we'll eventually get to a paradise where we in fact will feel happy forever, but that means that there will no longer be anything to fight against to get to a better place, we're at the best place. So at that point does meaning end? You can say that your meaning in life is to follow God's will, but then what is the meaning of God? He has existed forever, created everything, and what for? Probably just because he wants to.. but is there meaning to that?
What is the meaning of life? What does that even mean? What is meaning? Trying to define it is a chase that brings you all the way to the top of the order of creation, and then it stops abruptly no matter what you place at the top in your beliefs.
You can define it more short term and leave it emotionally charged like I've explained, but what you're really doing then is ignoring the question of what the meaning of life actually is. "Meaning" is supposed to be a reason to do something that goes beyond what we feel. Rather, it's the very reason to feel, the reason to believe in something, and a reason to live despite what we might feel.
So instead I focus on why and when we start thinking about the meaning of life. It tends to be when we're depressed, when we're sad and something is lacking from our lives, such as happiness. Once we're happy, we never question the meaning of life, we don't care for it, it's not important. Therefore, I can only conclude that the chase after meaning of life is an evil concept that is born from hardship and illogical thinking that sends you spiraling even further.

If you are a Christian how can you believe this when God has told us he has a plan for your life?

@Carazaa The bible says that God has a plan for all of us, as a collective, that's called paradise, and that's what I said in my comment. The question of meaning of life does not concern that.
You can live in a paradise and still have your life be completely devoid of meaning. That's what makes the question so evil, the chase after meaning infects everything it touches, if there's no meaning then not even what is truly good looks good anymore. This doesn't contradict the bible at all.
