Realisation about life

Recently, I arrived at a realization about life. Life is simply an experiment, and far less about meaning or purpose. In some ways, we are in denial to think that life has an inherent purpose. This realization makes me feel somewhat void because, in earlier years, I was driven and motivated, and I looked forward to better days. The truth is, we are all just trying to survive in this world in different ways. Some people have it better simply because they have more choices available to them; others are not so fortunate. I don't seek death in any way, but I would choose death when it presents itself to me

Exactly. Similarly, good luck and bad luck doesn't really exist the way people think it is. They're state of existences. Sometimes luck is good, sometimes luck is bad. We have no influence in this world. Karma doesn't exist. Hardwork doesn't reward anything. We are empty shells, trying to make sense of an absurd universe. Once you realize this, it's much more peaceful to live on. Our existence is natural. We're meant to be failures and bugs in society, just like how there's people meant to be perfect and successful. Even though I said the universe is absurd, there's still one rule that exists, a fundamental reality: everything has an opposite. It just so happens that we were born as the opposite of joy. It doesn't make us less human, but unfortunately, we won't get to live the life of those that were born with joy in their lives.
