Hello everybody, it's the first time i write on this forum, and this look like the only "right" topic to write about ..happiness, i guess? I'll go straight to the point, maybe mine it's just a nihilistic rant with no possible positive answer , so feel free to ignore it, but since statistically you are probably the smartest people on Earth, i thought it was worthy to try to share it anyway. I meditated for 6/7 years. The benefits of meditation are very clear to everybody here, so there's no need to write about it..but like everything in the Universe there's another side of the con, and by coin I mean awareness. I am way more aware of life, therefore i am way more aware of death, to the point that all I can think about is: what's the point? You may live 10000 years, be the "happiest" person on earth, fulfill all your goal, but still it' going to end. Being aware of pleasure (whatever that is, being pleasure in getting laid or in saving the world) makes you aware of the fact that it's only momentary, and this almost makes it meaningless... so basically i came to the conclusion that existence is nothing but witnessing your long and inevitable end, there's no need to say that this affect me in a very very bad way. So again, maybe it's a pointless argument, maybe somebody has an interesting (at least) take on it, I don't know but right now to me everything feels ABSOLUTELY pointless. Thank you for your time and forgive me for my nasty english. Cheers!
