“The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless ” ~ Tolstoy
One thing that every person in this world does a lot is daydreaming. On average, a person gets around 50k thoughts throughout the day and half of it are their dreams and aspiration. The problem lies not in dreaming instead in not taking even a single step towards achieving them. We want to travel the world, have a posh life, flying in business class, owning luxury things. And yes your thoughts end here because you realize all this is superficial and not going to happen. Absolutely right, it's not gonna happen because you aren't going to fight for it.
You can have two options in your; the first one as the smart philosophers like Sartre and Camus have put it, your life is essentially meaningless and without a purpose. Humans are bound to live that mundane life that includes sleeping eating and working in routine. So you can accept the absurdity of life and refuse to make any changes in your life because doing something is going to be the same as not doing something. Or the second choice is accepting that, yes human life is meant to be absurd but as long as I live, I'll try to make my stay (the existence of my human body) on earth a little jovial. I would accept the absurdity of life and then move ahead that is make a choice of making my life adventurous.
The acceptance that nothing really matters in life takes away all your fears and gives you a new sense of Courage and power. You realize what I should actually be doing is following what my heart wants and not stopped by the mundane restrictions.
We as human are capable of doing almost everything and achieving everything we want but living among people have conditioned us into fearful and insecure beings and thus we are afraid to do unconventional steps to change our life.
There are many who though gather the courage to start with something fresh but after taking few steps and facing hardship they make their choice of retreating.
We should never stop thinking about new things and when you feel that a particular idea is an amazing start planning to achieve, don't be afraid of leaving your comfort zone to accomplish that goal because I believe doing something I always a better choice than not doing something. So once you realize that life is worthless, you won't be afraid of failures.
Think of your time on earth as limited and you have to somehow spent this small lifetime here and then disappear. So make a choice and try to do as many things as possible to make your small stay memorable. When you leave you should be able to remember every breathe you took as you did something worth remembering everyday.
Though the first choice is not that bad, but I think just sitting throughout your life and not doing anything because you know life is going to end in same way for everyone, is burdensome. Every day of your life would be depressing and full of overthinking where you still will be having thousands of thoughts but no action.
So be someone in your life who never stops, break free from this mundane routine life, make plans work on them, fail in them, succeed in them and yet keep doing everything that brings you closer to your dreams. You have more chances of achieving them if you keeping working on the small steps you take. Even if you don't succeed you'll have a journey worth remembering. So the choice is ours to make
-to do something
-or not do something
And I think not doing something is harder choice than doing something.
