I can’t comprehend why you are getting downvoted, please take my upvote
Speaking broadly, humans are very much capable of living without purpose, but that needs a stable ground and very balanced system - something that mostly does not taken care of, but that cannot mean to belittle what you are doing - the way you live, it is better than what so many people are doing with their lives (and in many ways much wiser), and I am glad you found the strength and willingness to live as you do. Thank you for living like this
IDK, I pissed off the hivemind on another post and all my comments have been downvoted. Which is kind of fun, actually. Feels like Lemmy is becoming a real internet community.
Anyhow, yeah. We’re capable of living without purpose but I do think most of us need that purpose to feel content. It’s a trope, Man’s Search for Meaning and Purpose. This is just my answer to it. My answer is a lazy shortcut, I’m kind of over spirituality and most philosophy. If none of it matters, then I pick what matters to me and makes me happy.
I like some people and the natural world the best, I define my purpose as taking care of them. It’s a conscious decision but it does actually bring me existential peace.
