Live to old age, have a family that gives me grandchildren, be kind to people, try to do something that contributes to advancing society but that would simply be cherry on top

when you're close to death, it changes how you feel about life. I'm not close to death, but I thought that I was for a couple of weeks and I learned a lot about myself in that time. I'm an atheist, but after my experience of even thinking that I may die, I don't mind death nearly as much as I did.

The fact that you're alive at all right now is a miracle. You are very lucky, and are owed nothing. You should be glad that you woke up today and got the chance to experience life for another day.

Being asleep or dead isn't that big of a deal, but since you're here, you should make the most of the life you have and I don't mean that in some nihilistic way.

If I won't have a blonde wife and blonde children, I won't have wife and children at all. I've decided upon that. My current gf is blonde but she has not blue eyes, so it's good, albeit not ideal.

With regards to career, I'm all set. I'll contribute to the economy and shit, be an upstanding citizen and pay taxes so politicians can do things with my money, such as feeding neets and blacks.

I also would like to write a book.

i've spent my life doing and seeing the most amazing things - alone.

driving cross-country, travelling the world, long walks into off-the-path locations, bike tours on my mountainbike, discovering the most beautiful and inspiring things, ratcheting-up accomplishments and memories, appreciating the world and the people in it - but always alone.

i'm inspired and motivated by all the beauty in the world, but not by my loneliness. my purpose in life is to finally have someone to share all this with. that would be great.

Up to this day this has plagued my daily existence. I have no future nor any desire to live.

I am a cancer to the earth.

Well if I'm just a result of my brains synapses firing and chemicals flowing around then I also have some ability to have religious experiences which means the brain evolved to have spirituality be a large focus in a humans life.

If you're so sure that you're just a product of an evolved brains chemicals and electrical impulses then you are also aware that your brain has the ability to look back on itself, which proves it's not your brain but your soul or consciousness.

I'm so fucking tired of this fucking question. People are so retarded. You hand them a zero and a one and they always ask you "which number's the evil one?" as though that weren't imposing a false dichotomy. People keep creating categories and identifying the traits that belong in them afterward instead of beforehand.

People who need to find the "one real purpose" are no better than people who want guides to go through games that don't even have failure states. It's like you fucking regret having free will or something. Maybe there's no "true-route" "best-girl" and you should just play the fucking game. Writing a rulebook or creating a higher calling to determine every choice you make is suicidal; you're removing your own will, the one thing that makes you different from an inanimate object. I mean if you don't believe in free will that's sensible enough, but if you think you do have it then you should at least admire it while you can. Just take stuff as it comes.

Just make it 'til you're 27-29. You're just an insane 20ager. Your brain relaxes towards the end of that period and it becomes a lot easier to make patient and educated decisions.

To find perfection

Perfection
Get for example a hobby, boat building. In case that you like what you really what you are doing, you will try to make it perfect, every single detail of the Galleon that you are making will be brought to perfection, because perfection is the ultimate goal. But there is strap, pure perfection can not be reached by men, only the demiurge can touch it, but when a men finally is able to approach with his fingers perfection, then he not only have found a reason to live but also has surpassed the reason to live.

In case that you cant find the tool(aka the hobby) which will guide you through the path to perfection, put all your effort on becoming a the perfect man; be a good father, a good husband, train your body, enrich your mind until you can see the demiurge in all his beauty.
