I don't lack in purpose, as far as I know. There are things I would like to accomplish.

That's great. Is there no joy in pursuing those tasks?

Personally, I absolutely love project management.

It's almost always about the journey, not the destination

I know my engineering project leads generally detest it.

Once you have a purpose, your mind clears up and there's no more existential thoughts to cloud your brain

So, not only do I get to do the thing I love, it helps people for whom I have some modicum of respect.

Why would nature want to make the ultimate killer? Nature is concerned with reproduction. So yeah killers are usually pretty good at reproducing since they arent being eaten and all. But we still have grass. XD

If you can't do great things, do small things in a great way

So having shit you wish to do is actualization?

There is no person to do it.

Doing shit I wish to do is actualization.

The ego is an illusion, if you will.

I mean so is animation but I don't see you not watching movies.

But it isn't necessary to destroy the ego

Erm... I don't think that series of words makes sense.

But there is no arriving.

The ego is responsible for individuality

Are you your ego?

Having desire does not equal your highest and best self, does it?

To try to get rid of your ego is like the biggest ego trip xD

I am that which observes my ego.

Are we getting into zen bhuddism now?

maybe

No, it's existential angst.

Man I am about to have some fun.

its pretty black pilled

If you're trying to get rid of your ego you're already 'better' than others

What is the first tenet of zen bhuddism.

It's an emotional philosophical hand grenade meant to disrupt your thinking.

Cmon, hit me. *gets some red and white paint*

Like a lot of the zen buddhist stuff.

Freedom from suffering is possible

liberation exists

There we go, and the freedom from suffering comes from removing desire.

No, freedom from suffering is a buddhist philosophical bit of shenanigans.

but in humans, this liberation tends to only occur in people with certain medical conditions

this gets toooo philosophical and im a simple animal with cravings and desires

You only avoid suffering if your nerves don't work.
