Is it normal to be completely comfortable with believing in no meaning to life?

I don't see life as something with any built in meaning. I fully accept a belief that there will, very shortly (in comparison to the rest of the universe.) be no evidence that I, or anyone who ever lived on this planet ever existed. I accept the fact that upon my death, there will be absolutely nothing, not even a perceived pitch black wall.

And I'm perfectly comfortable with this.

  • Oh, there's no built in point, but that just makes life a blank canvas.

    and well, when I am dead, I won't be. How can I be afraid of something I won't experience?

    I think it's pretty common to feel that way, but not so common to feel comfortable with it. That's great that you can accept and live with your own beliefs.

    Life means whatever you want it to mean. Everyone's definition is different. It has no INHERENT meaning; only the meaning you give it.

    At some point, my life will come to an end. I will cease to think and cease to be. I won't laugh, sing, or learn, but neither will I suffer. With this mindset, all situations are temporary. I know that I only have to put up with things for so long before they are over forever.

    I would never want to live forever, for fear that at some point, I will know and understand everything, and there will be nothing left to discover.

  • this is not normal. even if you truely believe there is nothing after life, how are you okay with that? if you have read my IIN you would know that i feel the same way you do, abour death and life. but i can't except that this is it so i have joined a group that helps people who have nothing in struggling countries get on their feet and to see their face light up with even the littlest bit of hope is the best feeling in the world. i think that careers and money and everything too many people take too seriously is not whats important but helping each other and making the best of what little time we have here, to make even a small difference in someones life, don't you think thats meaningful to your life?

    I kind of agree with you in a way, except that I do believe in a meaning of life.

    My belief of the meaning of life is: Just enjoy it.

    I believe you just need to enjoy life. That is all. I'm going for a major in college that I will ENJOY not one that will pay tons. Money is not a concern to me. I am content in a small, craptastical home. I'd be content traveling around New York with nothing but a backpack with a couple of things like extra clothes, a razor, a taco.. and my guitar. I mean, why stress out your life and hate it? Just enjoy it. Enjoying something that lasts your whole life, which is in fact your life, is a good feeling. So do it.

    It's more than normal. It's the only reasonable, logical conclusion one can make based on the available information.

    Welcome to objective reality. We've been waiting for you.

    I agree.
    To again clarify, OP is comfortable with the objective reality that life has no INHERENT meaning, NOT that life has no meaning at all. There is a big difference.
