Is meaning something tangible that can be pointed to and even analyzed in some kind of scientific way?
Or is it up to each of us to decide on how it's defined?
Today, the power went out at my apartment, so I took some shrooms and D X M and went to the bar to just sit back and observe things; people; human activity.
Then when the hallucinogen/dissociative combo started wearing off, I went and got some whiskey and crack.
Now I'm sitting here, glass tube in hand, glass of whiskey in the other, and just contemplating what the fuck any of this all means.
If millions of people die every year, then what justification is there for the sanctity of life?
I'm not saying I'm an anti-social sociopath. In fact, quite the opposite. I genuinely get depressed when I think of all these people dying every day.
And where do they go?
If they return to the nothingness/abyss from whence they originated, then what, precisely, is the point in doing anything in life other than satisfying the most hedonistic urges at any given moment.
Acts of altruism are noble, and I partake in them from time to time myself, but it's a short-lived high, much like the crack or the liquor, the psychedelic or the dissociative.
If meaning has no firm foundation, then how do we avoid spinning out of control and falling right off of this planet into the abyss?
What keeps you grounded?
Maybe I can gain some tips from others, because I certainly don't have any definitive answers.
Life is a capricious beast, and I can't figure out what to make of it.
Drugs help, but they don't provide that firm foundation I seek. They're a bandaid or an ointment that merely stops the bleeding and numbs the wound for a brief time before requiring re-application.
I don't know what I expect to get from all this, but maybe confirmation that I'm not the only one existentially adrift in a world full of subatomic particles emerging to create a strange thing called "consciousness."

Time for the clonazepam and alprazolam to reset for tomorrow.
It's like a cycle of work, play, think, pray, drink, spray (semen, when jerking off), and finally, say: Here comes another one.
Who else respawning tomorrow for another round? Come to think of it, this game ain't so bad if you get real good at it and learn some of the cheat codes. Just don't treat everybody like NPC's because that's called solipsism.

[diagonally photosensitise my summation]
Learning from past life wrongs, doing your best to not create new ones in this life, and finding your true purpose in this life. You won’t find that by polluting your self or looking for your true purpose from outside influences or motivators such as money or fame or greed. Many people find it during their most challenging times, but holding onto it and remembering requires true surrenty and peace.. once you have done so .. your soul’s vibration will reach the correct velocity to become one with the creator ... if not, you come back and do it again or it is also possible to simply burn out and become nothing at all. Very rarely was that the case just 100 years ago.

First thing I would say is deal with your shit SOBER. No one has the answers, especially the bible thumpers.And as far as coming back (reincarnation) that is really reaching. One life, live it accordingly to your beliefs and don't rely on an afterlife where your bullshit is forgiven because you suddenly acquired a conscious on your dying bed.
Let the mystery be.

Meaning isn't something things just have, meaning is something humans give to things. Life has whatever meaning you give it.
Some people don't give life any meaning and so they lose themselves, lose touch and fall into the void.

evolutionary speaking... it's to survive and propagate your species. Spiritually speaking.... I have no fucking idea

What's the noodle cup?
Is that like some kind of metaphor for how we're all just a bunch of dry unseasoned ramen noodles and life is all about finding that flavor that's just right, and then mingling with other noodles in the soup as a cohesive unit, all with one unitary goal of sustaining that cup of noodles for centuries to come?

That's EXACTLY the metaphor she was referring to
