Having negative existential thoughts
I’m a 29-year-old man from India, and I’m writing this because I’ve reached a logical end. I’m not in a crisis, I haven’t faced a major failure, and I have a stable life, but I’m struggling with a deep sense of existential fatigue. While I can easily live this life for the next 40 years, I feel stuck as the effort required to exist seems to far outweigh the benefits. I’ve centered my thoughts on four core pillars— the purpose of human species, the problem of value of life, human rights in life, and the alternative view.
I want to touch on topics such as Fermi Paradox, Great Filter Hypothesis, Natalism in Men and Women and the ultimate root cause of society's problems.
I’m posting this because I follow the principle of "Audi Alteram Partem" by hearing the other side. I want to talk to men and women who are truly interested in life to see what you know that I don’t,
I’ve tried this before but people tend to ghost me before I can even finish the conversation around the 4 pillars which reinforces my thoughts.
Men and women of Reddit, please DM me if you're interested to have a conversation on this.
Looking forward with an open mind to learn something from you as to why the effort to live is actually worth it.
