Oh I feel what you feel a lot.. but in my moments of greatest clarity I never had a sense there was anything I *had* to do. There is no way I can justify my existence and no need to. I could die now or in 60 years and my life would be perfectly complete either way

What do my wife and kids need? More money? A better house? Healthier food? More activities? More opportunities? More friends? More time with me? More love? More attention? More siblings? More pets? More education? More safety?

No matter what I do I am “wasting time” by neglecting other needs
It’s a choice. YOU decide whether you are wasting your time. There is no objective criteria no matter how other people try to shame you

this also seems wrong to me but in a more complicated way and i don't think i can explain my perspective here in tweet form. this pov seems close to me to claiming that meaning is subjective which i don't believe
ah gotcha.. yeah I’m mostly in the meaning-isn’t-objective camp. But talking with you exposes the disconnect between what I think and how I live (my actions seem to be all about meaning!)
