meaning of life
I think life have no meaning, literally here for no reason, but society exist to fill that gap. But you can create you own too, i like to goon, my meaning of life probably. Or maybe you don't need one idk

I don't agree with you; in fact, I think we are here for a reason. If you think about it, the probability that you could not have been here, or that someone else could be in your place, is very high. Do you think this happened by accident or mistake? I don't think so. There must be a reason, or a role you have to play or continue. I think your goal should be to find that reason—to change something, whether it is the world or yourself. Even if it was not clear in the beginning, just ask yourself: why do people, when they are dying, do everything to stay alive? Why would they give everything they have for just a single moment? This is why people say the most valuable thing you have is time .

What is the difference between bravery and stupidity?
Do you think going into fights will make you braver, or just showcase that you are an idiot? I think it depends on the reason behind your actions. Let us say you are an army commander, and you took your army to a losing battle and you lost, then people will say you are stupid. But on the other hand, if you emerged victorious people will say you are brave. I think it depends not only on your motives, but also on your results. So how can you choose your battles wisely? How do you know whether the thing you are fighting for is really worth it? What makes you brave rather than stupid?

@Joe Jd I don't think we can ignore other people's opinions since we live in communities. I think our beliefs are tied to the community and culture we live in. It is clear that, no matter what you believe or think, you are more likely to search for people who hold the same beliefs as you, rather than challenging them against others, which makes it very hard to learn new things. More significantly, people will judge you on the results you achieve in the real world. I think you grasped the question on a deeper level than I did: personal validation versus other people's validation. Unfortunately, we do the opposite of what you said; we value the validation of others more than personal validation. You can see this on social media and trends, where we want what other people want just because they want it—like a fancy car, a beautiful woman, or a good position, even if it doesn't serve us. I completely agree with you, but reality is completely different.

What books have changed your life?
What books are you currently reading or have read that has changed your daily routine? Is it something obvious or an idea you needed to read multiple times to understand? A book that has significantly shaped my creative output is The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. It’s one of the most influential reads that reshaped how I think about why and how I create my videos. I’d highly recommend it to anyone involved in creative work, whether professionally or as a passion. One idea that stood out to me is the concept of having no rules. It’s easy to fall into the mindset of always needing to be productive or checking off tasks from a to-do list. While that structure can be helpful, it can also limit the infinite possibilities of what you could create or explore. I’ve noticed this in my own process, sometimes I default to a formula or stick to what feels comfortable. That in itself isn’t necessarily bad, but it becomes a problem when it happens unconsciously and starts to limit creativity. Happy reading and share your books everyone! Post was inspired by @Ryan S Thanks for messaging me about this!

Me-you-sick
What do you guys think about (music)? Is it bad or not, and Why? If it is not bad, what is the purpose of it? I think it is bad. When you listen to music, you stop thinking clearly and start feeling things like happiness, anger, sadness, or maybe even worse loneliness. Not all of these emotions are bad. what is bad for me is that you allow an external factor to affect your feelings, whether in a bad way or a good way, this places you under its power and allows it to control your life. What do you think ancient philosophers would think about music?

@Joe Jd I do listen to music. I know how it affects me. What I really think is there are better alternatives to give me better results, such as walking, any kind of physical activities, or even talking to other people. I don't think music holds me back, but I know that other alternatives are much better.

@Julian K What is the point of leaving reallity to enjoy a fictional world (like music), unless you cannot accept reality? I can understand that it is okay to embrace all kinds of art, but it should not replace reality. I know reality is hard to accept, my country has been at war for three years, and the fictional world is convenient to live in. Despite its difficulty, I have come to enjoy life even better, because I turned out to be the final piece of art, and anything that replaces my reality is a delusion I can't have or experience.

Is free will real?
I was really interested in free will and came to the conclusion it didn't exist. Genetics and environment shapes us completely to be who we are. So how do we get free will? By killing ourselves and maybe ascending into another reality or Sumn. Or maybe free will already exists idk

I think free will exists, this is why we take responsibility for our actions and decisions. I can tell the point of your argument is to blame your circumstances and claim that you have no power to affect them. Let us say you inherited a disease from your parents, you know it is not your fault. What I believe is that there is a reason for this to happen just to you. Or maybe it is just something random that you cannot understand.
