    I am, without a doubt- thats not true, i constantly need to justify this- the most important- well maybe not so much important as best - best at something- or perhaps i have some purpose, some destiny

    doesn't everyone think like this at some point? it freaked me out when i realized that i think everyone, including myself, thinks like this as a bases for many of their actions

    just try and think about some of your beleifs about yourself, and see if any of them signafy an importance or advantage of legendry that is not supported by evidence or that you may have made up in some way

    i think everyone with self-awarness thinks this way, and its freaking me out

    why are people so afraid to be meaningless? why can't you just exist? why do you need a purpose? I don't understand you people.... can't you just accept your being as it is? you are you, no more

    I think we tend to confuse sheer human brilliance with insanity. Even on a personal level it's easy to become confused :S

    Evidence or Proof are words that are thrown out too common in responses to one dimensional statements such as yours, so that angle will stay home for this one. Perhaps you have already been through the finding-a-meaning stage, could not find one, simply gave up and yielded to cynicism.

    Share with us how you have accepted your being as it is.

    oh they're not mad, they're societies brimming egos (no offence, we are all egos). the subject of ones own meaning in life and whether or not it exists is huge with people. its the question "why". its probly the third thing on the list to thing about once we realize we exist. personally i actually dont think there is a reason that we, i you, or anyone exists. but the point is that the question of why we exist is a major one to just about everyone, whatever their answer is. i just wanted to see how many people would understand and reply to my confusing and strongly one sided post.

    thats what i was paranoid about. soo many people thinking about this. it controls too much, and everyone takes a while to realize it, and almost everyone has a different answer.
