I don’t see a point in doing anything anymore.In my career > I used to get up early for my job and looked forward to working, but after some drama and wages being cut, me and my friends all quit in protest.>Then I found out my supervisors were faking being nice, so my whole reason for working hard was a lie.>The 3 month long testing process for the job I wanted, decided I didn’t make the cut. And I feel like that was my last shot at a real career.In my relationships>a 19 year old girl showed interest in me recently, but I was unsure about a 8 year age gap. So I didn’t really pursue further. >But even changing my mind wouldn’t fix things. the more job prospects dry up, the less I feel like a relationship is even realistic.In hobbies>I still get up for the gym, but thats it. >The rest of my days are job hunting, walking, and laying down to think about my mistakes. In general philosophy>sometimes I write short stories and ideas for myself. These have all taken on harsher views of the world.>I now have a half complete manifesto on the justice system being a dark panopticon, a few chapters of bloody horror scenes, and story about a losing touch with reality.What do I even do in this situation? My old positive outlook is completely gone and everything is suffering because of it.
quiting on life is kinda gay...
>>34206865The only point to life is to minimise your suffering while you are waiting to die.
>>34206925Is it gayer than living?
>>34206865There isn't one. Do with that what you will
>>34206865There absolutely is an objective point to life. The human vocation is wisdom. The wiser you become, the more you'll have fulfilled your purpose, and the happier you will be. Everyone on earth has the same vocation and responsibilities towards the immortal virtues. There are no exceptions. If you aren't happy now, it's because you aren't filling those responsibilities or don't understand their value.
>>34206865Practically speaking, you have 3 options:>Give up and kill yourself>Do nothing with your life and sufferor>Try to improve your life and the lives of othersYou're going to suffer in all 3 options but the third option will lead to the least amount of suffering (both for you and others).Philosophically speaking, it's hard to act out the third option unless you have faith that life is ultimately good and worth all of the suffering. Whether life is ultimately good is a highly debated topic and if you really wanted answers, unironically religion is your best bet. I'd recommend watching Jordan Peterson's video analysis of the Book of Genesis.
find stuff that gives you joy. at least you are an active person, but it does not seem that any of the stuff you are doing is fulfilling to you. the reality of life is that it does not owe you happiness, you have to work for it, and even if you do everything right, you might still lose. the point is to keep going, until things do get better. you don't need to have a positive outlook, just a realistic one. "The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”
>>34207553Only idiots think there is virtue in wisdom. The thinking man yearns for the folly and surprise of simplicity.
>>34206865>I found out my supervisors were faking being niceI think this is a huge one, you gotta find people that keep it realyou don't sound like you really have a proper third place if the gym is just a chore so meet some nice people, pursuit of friendship leads to actual relationships
