meaningless


I find life quite meaningless. no real enjoyment or anything to look forward to. even work now to me is just probably a healthy, tiring and irritating way to distract myself from depression.

In Ecclesiastes King Solomon mentioned "meaningless" many times in reference to the pursuit of happiness. ‘A calm and humble life will bring more happiness than the pursuit of success and the constant restlessness that comes with it.’ - Einstein's humble quote, said it all. The King however enjoyed and tried everything he could try. He probably knew and concluded that life and in particular the pursuit for happiness is meaningless. However he probably was not negatively affected by it being meaningless, if we read the book in its entirety. Probably.

As for me,  i am facing and feeling meaninglessness of life daily in the form of sadness, hopelessness, depression, etc. So by being irrated and tired by work, i escape them for some hours daily.
