This is a universal and common sense method of living your life regardless of who you are. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Humans look for/search things that they don't have.. which in our case it is 'meaning'. All arts, philosophy, some science shit are for this.

This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.

Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"

(For an explanation of what a "showerthought" is, please read this page.)

What if you chose the life and to make it a great thing also chose to forget that you chose this life.

And that's what people fail at. They assume the fallacy that "meaning in life" is found by searching.

Meaning in life is purpose, and purpose is assigned by the conditions and context. They waste all their lives thinking they are going to find something, but nothing new they will find, as all the pieces have already been stated before.

In the search for a meaning, most people end up doing anything but becoming closer to it. As they evade their purpose by seeking another one, in the fallacy of thinking they have none.

In most cases, It's not that hard, looking at your surroundings and deducing your task. Harder surely it is to look for another different purpose when it'll probably not exist.

"In a life we didn't choose"... You might be surprised to learn otherwise.
