So much this.
Not to die today
To discover and adhere to an objectively moral life.
Learning.
To quote Carl Sagan, โWe are a way for the cosmos to know itself.โ
Spend your life enjoying it and helping others enjoy theirs. As the universe unfolds, we've only got this one brief moment of consciousness before we disappear, we have to make our life filled with as much happiness as we can. And help others fill theirs.
Have you looked into Epicuianism? Sounds like what you wrote fits.
I hope to leave whatever spaces I inhabit better than before I was there. I also want to be a cute girl with a cute tummy and thick thighs. I believe these are both aligned with one another.
Lol It's great when different values align and each builds towards your life purpose.
To crush my enemies, see them driven before me and hear the lamentations of their women
it doesnt matter
To annoy my wife.
To make as many people as uncomfortable as I humanly can.
Purpose in life? I'm not American, sorry
Crush the patriarchy and bring about equity and equality. And jacking the hogโฆ
You decide it yourself, thus it's for you to figure out. Personally, I like little things. Like pop rocks I bought earlier. I think they worth living a little, aren't they?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Being as comfortable as possible
I'm just here to raise entropy.
On a cosmic timescale, facilitate a world with minimal suffering and maximal fulfillment.
To work for some asshole and make just enough money to get by.
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.
I'm on a life-long quest to finding the EXIT from this matrix. For this I have to become the supreme lord of Holy C
To enjoy the world and minimize how much I prevent others from enjoying it as well.
ideally producing scientific research and art but in practice I'm just trying to minimize my own suffering :/
My purpose in life is to produce poop and pee. I work hard so that I can afford food and water so that I can eventually poo and pee. I have an urge to reproduce so that my children can also poop and pee.
I used to be flourishing as an artist. Now I'm just trying to not end up in a camp within the next 4+ years
Nothing!
To end it peacefully
To "live", and by "live" I mean experience and creat Art. I don't need more nor less.
To spend time with the people I love.
To reduce human suffering by some degree, even if it's insignificant in the big picture.
