Embracing the normal world

I get the meaning of everything. It is nothingness.

"Nothingness? Like in a Buddhist term or what?"

Mmm, like in the nihilistic view, that everything is meaningless. We all are heading into the same thing that is the void. We have options though, either we want to do something or not do anything at all. It's like we're given a set of time at the beach (or mountain). We can do something such as building a sand castle that we know won't be there tomorrow, or we can do nothing and enjoy the time given to us.

"Which one are you?"

I think I'm swaying both sides. Most of the time I want to create something. Although I often want to create something for the wrong reason.

"I don't think there is a wrong reason at all. If everything is meaningless, then whatever is okay. There's no good or bad reason"

Huh, I never thought of that. But that's kinda true. I wonder if this is why many people would opt out of freedom. With freedom, comes also the idea of nothingness. Life would be easier to live without freedom. In the end, it's about choosing your own poison.

Live your life with full freedom, at the expense of your sanity, being somewhat different from most. You will be struggling to find a tribe.

Or,

Live your life adhering to society's standard, at the expense of yourself, having your small heart tells you that something is wrong. You will be struggling to accept what doesn't feel right.
