Do we just live and suffer and die?
Welcome to the philosophy of absurdism.
Life has no meaning, nothing has purpose.
In this freedom find the space to make your own meaning and your own purpose.
You kitty likely had a long kitty life with someone who loved them and who they loved. You created purpose where none existed for the both of you.
I am sorry for the loss of your kitty my dude, I’m sorry you’re hurting.
This is how I’ve made sense of the world… Nothing actually matters so I get to choose what matters to me.
I said this at work, and my boss was not happy. Maybe don’t spend 30 years at the same job pretending you’re changing the world?
I work in a career where some folks can really drink the coolaid… But, like, we’re not really changing anything? At all.
But who cares? It is what it is - do the job, get paid, go home and do something fun.
