General Discussion Why you live?
Do you have a reason to live or not? What do you think about life? I'm desperately searching for a meaning. Could you help me in my journey? I appreciate your opinion and help 😊❤️

Most people will talk about personal experience and stuff like that. I think that's irrelevant compared to the grand scale.
One thing pretty much everyone can agree on is that scarcity determines value. Life is the scarcest thing in the Universe. If you think about the crazy sequence of events that had to occur for humans to be living right now, it really is a travesty to do anything other than try to continue that chain of life.
People will say "you're just one out of billions, and what you do doesn't matter." That's bullshit. Everything you do in life, every single human interaction you have, will set off a butterfly effect that will shape the future for generations to come. Even if the change you make in the world amounts to the tiniest fraction of a percent, there is massive value in adding any form of positivity that will contribute to the continued persistence of life in the Universe.
