Persuading people to accept their existential nothingness is not the end of therapy, for that would only lead to depression. There is an exhilarating aspect to being human. If you figure out what you like doing, have aptitude in doing, and do it twenty-four seven while forgetting about your ego and body, you tend to feel happy. You feel as if you are in heaven, whatever that is.

Thus, our goal should be to help each person figure out what he or she likes doing and support them in pursuing it. By doing so, we can help individuals find the best joy there is in our seemingly pointless existence. Personally, when I am reading, thinking, or writing about human nature, I literally lose sense of time, space, and matter; I am in bliss.

Life is full of opportunities for us to explore and discover what truly brings us happiness. It is not about conforming to societal expectations or pursuing material possessions. Instead, it is about finding our passion and engaging in activities that align with our true selves.

Discovering Your Passion

Many people go through life without ever truly discovering their passion. They may be stuck in jobs they dislike or engage in activities that do not bring them fulfillment. However, it is never too late to embark on a journey of self-discovery and find what truly ignites our soul.

Start by reflecting on your interests and hobbies. What activities make you lose track of time? What brings you a sense of joy and fulfillment? It could be anything from playing a musical instrument, painting, writing, cooking, or even gardening. The key is to listen to your inner voice and follow your curiosity.

Don't be afraid to try new things and step out of your comfort zone. It is through exploration and experimentation that we often stumble upon our true passions. Take classes, attend workshops, or join communities related to your interests. Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who can inspire and support you on your journey.

Embracing Your Aptitude

While it is important to pursue activities that bring us joy, it is equally important to consider our aptitude for them. We all have unique talents and abilities that can be honed and developed. By aligning our passions with our aptitude, we can truly excel and find fulfillment in what we do.

Take the time to assess your strengths and weaknesses. What are you naturally good at? What skills can you further develop? Understanding your aptitude can help guide you towards activities that not only bring you joy but also allow you to showcase your talents.

It is important to note that aptitude can be developed through practice and dedication. Don't be discouraged if you feel like you're not naturally gifted in a particular area. With time and effort, you can improve and excel in any field.

Letting Go of Ego and Body

In our pursuit of happiness and fulfillment, it is crucial to let go of our ego and body. Our ego often holds us back from fully embracing our passions and exploring new possibilities. It creates self-doubt, comparison, and fear of failure. By letting go of our ego, we open ourselves up to endless opportunities for growth and self-discovery.

Similarly, our body can sometimes limit us. We may feel tired, lazy, or unmotivated to engage in activities that bring us joy. However, by focusing on the present moment and immersing ourselves in the activity at hand, we can transcend the limitations of our physical bodies. We can tap into a state of flow, where time ceases to exist, and we are fully absorbed in the present moment.

Practicing mindfulness and meditation can help us cultivate a sense of detachment from our ego and body. By becoming aware of our thoughts and emotions, we can observe them without judgment and let go of any limiting beliefs or self-imposed restrictions.

Finding Joy in Pointless Existence

Life is often described as a journey with no predetermined destination. It can sometimes feel pointless and devoid of meaning. However, it is up to us to create our own purpose and find joy in the seemingly meaningless moments.

By pursuing our passions, embracing our aptitude, and letting go of ego and body, we can find fulfillment in the present moment. We can experience a sense of flow and connection to something greater than ourselves. It is in these moments that we can truly appreciate the exhilarating aspect of being human.

Remember, each person's journey is unique. What brings one individual joy may not necessarily bring the same level of fulfillment to another. It is important to respect and support each person's pursuit of happiness, even if it may seem unconventional or unimportant to others.

So, let us encourage one another to explore, discover, and embrace the exhilarating aspect of being human. Let us help each person find their passion, unleash their aptitude, and let go of ego and body. In doing so, we can collectively find the best joy there is in our seemingly pointless existence.
