Is Life Meaningless? A Ranting Of A Guy With Some Thoughts
Trigger Warning: Mentions of suicide
Life, as you see it, is quite irritating, frustrating, and even depressing. You may be born into poverty or richness. Still, the absurd yearning for the inexistence of the universe may arrive at you. Life can be hard despite our privileges. But, on the other hand, life can be joyous despite our hardships. So I’m talking about life. The fundamental question of philosophy for Albert Camus’ is that there is only one severe philosophical problem, and that is suicide.
Suicide is never the antithesis of life. It is, in fact, the gateway to it. The antithesis is simply NOT LIVING. Death is not even the antithesis. It’s the gateway. Suicide is one way to it. Suicide, in fact, never occurs to someone who is deeply interested in nihilism and has his brain exploded due to the intellectual stimulation he is intensely enjoying.
It’s when things go wrong, and you feel stuck, hopeless, lost, anxious and depressed, except maybe there. I can’t exactly be sure whether no one killed himself because he found the whole universe to be a damn thing that seemingly has no inherent meaning, making his life meaningless.
Life, as you see it, is quite irritating, frustrating, and even depressing.
My point here is that life is inherently subjected to fate. Even suicide may be one’s fate. But before committing suicide, if one thinks that life is just experiencing fate or fate is inescapable. If he is so damn brilliant as to enjoy the beauty of Amor Fati, he may live. He may not kill himself. But in fact, fate can be so damn hard. Isn’t that why we work hard? To escape from bad fate?. To overcome or outsmart it? But still, things may go wrong. The world is complex, and it may not even be your fault that you have a terrible fate.
Imagine one thing, every individual, me and you, have a fate. Yeah, that’s true. We may suck up, or we may be heroes. But does it even matter? No, I’m not going to pour nihilism. Let’s say I’m going to pour something out, maybe not a philosophy or even a thought. A simple ranting, to be exact. Here we imagine who are people of bad fate. It sucked up our lives. It caused irreversible harm to ourselves. Killed our future. Dreams appear so blurry and depressing because it has become something never attainable.
We are just a tiny spot in the seven billion people on earth. It’s so natural for people to suck. It’s been there since the beginning of humanity. And it will work for sure last until its end. So why does it matter? We are just living in some unknown corner of this world where we give names to the planets and stars we see in the sky.
We are building space research machinery to satisfy our natural and inherent urge to conquer. But how far will we reach in this universe of uncertainty and infinity? Maybe not infinite, but for us, the ends are unknown. It’s just like a huge ocean which never ends, or its end is not seen in our eyes.
Why does our fate matter? What does it matter who we become?

We may suck up, or we may be heroes. But does it even matter?
What happens is that we fail to overcome the brutal emotions we encounter. Imagine a future where you have no job, no house, or money. A life you are living in the streets, sleeping on footpaths and eating out of garbage cans. One day in your life as such, you encounter your old girlfriend. So beautiful, charming, and glorious to make any heartbeat in the joy of its rhythms get tuned to sing a melodious song for her. She’s looking at you and realised that it’s her old flame. But it’s an alien which she is seeing.
If one can escape the emotional warfare of self-hatred, hopelessness and frustration one battles, then he can escape the hells of life. We can’t see ourselves like that. We can never. And that’s why our fate will always matter to us. And that’s why you get anxious about your future. And that’s why this catastrophising occurs in your mind. We are confronting a fiction we create in our minds. In it, something which we never want to us is happening. But, in a sense, we enjoy it. We crave it. We let our minds float to find more of it. And why it happens Is still not known, maybe solely for me...
I do not intend to say anything like, “oh yeah, we should overcome it all”, or “we shall rise” I won’t say anything that’s so cliche.
I’m just saying... This is the end of this article.
