Not a business question, so posting in Off topic. But I know this forum is filled with insightful people.
Money is modern day survival. The passageway from childhood to adulthood is being able to survive on your own. Earning money becomes your purpose when you don't have enough to sustain yourself.
What is the point of life when you have enough money to sustain yourself?
The usual reply is "just do what makes you happy"
But what is happiness exactly?
All I understand is our brains have one goal in mind: to reproduce. When we are doing actions that are inline and satisfy that, our brain creates happy chemicals to tell us "Good job keeping doing this!"
So is the point just to follow our egos and primal desires as closely as possible?
I don't mean to ask this to try and sound smart or create some debate or something. Ive genuinely been stuck and lost for the past few years as to what life is all about. Or if it is really nothing with no meaning. We happen to exist up until this point and so you just make what you want of it, but at the barebones its to have the most optimum and prolonged survival.
