I like that life’s big questions aren’t a problem they are just a mystery. You don’t have to solve it it’s just a mystery. The fact that it is a mystery keeps you intrigued and keeps you going. Embrace the mystery. If the mystery wasn’t there then you would top of yourself because you’ll be bored.
We are forever condemned to not having the answers to our existential doubts, this is the human situation, which perhaps death will overcome. To remedy this, we have music, philosophy and religion.
At 86 I think that Tolstoy's impasse was his early happiness at 50. To have everything that he had missed in early age, and conquered in his life toward 50 was his problem. An abyss of life without challenges and possibility of success, a form of living death, that he could not hope to change. He was a living death until the end. The only consolation was found in forgetting himself and thinking about the life of other people, mostly poor people. P.S. We are in reality eternal through the formation and dissolution of our atoms. Life and death in an eternal exchange. The only consolation is the appreciation of the beauty of the world, while we are temporarily alive in our form or any other.
Leo Tolstoy’s exploration of life’s meaning through his works like Anna Karenina and War and Peace is profoundly transformative. His insights inspire us to seek truth beyond material success
It sounds like it, I was hoping he would become a warrior yet he chose a softer route that matched the ideology of his time. I prefer Camus, to die brave and with compassion towards an existence that I never could fully understand
There is a more common term for Albert Camus' "intellectual suicide" and that term is "cowardice". Disappointing to learn that such a gifted individual could be so cowardly.
Meaningful life? A fleeting quest, Chasing shadows, seeking rest. Is it ignorance we wear as a cloak, Laughing at truths with each silly joke? Pleasure calls, a siren’s song, Yet its promises don’t last long. Moments fade; we’re left to find, A void that echoes in the mind. End the silly jokes, break the chain, Of passive resignation, dulled by pain. Life’s purpose waits, a higher call, Beyond the trivial, beyond the small. In trials faced and paths we trod, We anchor our hearts with Faith in God.
Except for one thing. My personal doubts [call them mini - crises if you will] are never purely intellectual. There's always the added bonus of a lack of (1) wealth. A lack of (2) a beautiful family. (3) A lack of a loving wife. (4) A lack of worldly success. Just saying.

The purpose of the universe is to provide a vessel for intelligence to express itself. The purpose of life is to increase intelligence in the universe. The purpose of humankind is to discover and deploy technology (the application of knowledge). The purpose of each individual human life is to serve the betterment of our world. The purpose of knowledge is to improve the human condition.
Universal God: My thought: God is our explanation for the causation of reality. Since we do exist in our reality and God is our vision for the creation of reality, then God does exist. We just do not have knowledge of the nature of God. With that said: humans have differing opinions on God. That is a fact. But, that fact does not establish the truth about God. Our beliefs about God should serve to improve lives not cause conflict among humans. So we need to redirect religion to serve the best interest of both God and God's creation.
This is very good. I would add that faith in something larger than oneself can also bring a real sense of belonging. Our culture has us believe that we are individuals only. We are by this estranged from not only others but from the world we live in and nature. Faith is not the same as belief. Faith in something larger that oneself does not need the name we give to it; God or what ever. The happiness comes in seeing that our life's quality comes from being in reciprocal relationships with others, giving and receiving and not only considering our own interest.
Love, and having fun loving life seems to me to be the key. Get outside, walk or run, learn to get back to loving your own nature and, of course, Nature at large. Everything will fall into place for you no matter how destructive life can be.

When a product no longer serves it’s purpose it’s thrown away, to be replaced by another that actually does what it’s supposed to. So because many of the humans never really tried to understand who created them and why he created them and what he wanted from them as many of them believe that everything just happens by itself not even bothering to understand that nothing changes without action. That when a simple thing like a washing machine can’t neither create itself nor wash without someone actually does an action as this they’d understand pretty well but when looking within themselves or the universes then they think that it’s just there. So Ofcourse it’s no surprise at all why they’d suffer because by you not trying to find out who your creator was and what He wanted from you, you’ve done a massive injustice to yourself so then why do you complain when you’re system starts to backfire against itself
In 2013 I observer 2 triangle machines about 50 ft long it was about 15- 18 ft from ground I was 20 yds away from these machines, all of this happened 90 sec: or less, wrong place wrong time I believe what I saw after 12 yrs. I started to say the truth, but no one believes me.
worry not Christian! you are exalted above all these questions of life, above all hopelessness, you the servant of the lord and ardent follower of Christ! YOU ARE EXALTED!
This is not correct, Tolstoy believed in SPINOZAS GOD, not some silly superhuman living on cloud nine, SPINOZA WAS CORRECT BY UNDERSTANDING THE UNIVERSE AND ALL NATURE IS GOD, SO HE BELIEVED IN THIS, AND IT MAKES FAR BETTER SENCE THAN MAGIC , AND SPIRITS, THAT IS NOT REAL, THE UNIVERSE IS REAL , SO BE REAL BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, LOVE YOURSELF, THEN YOU ARE PART OF EVERYTHING AND HAPPY TO DO THE BEST YOU CAN.

But these belief systems are the result of human minds, a materialist creation of biology, and I'm afraid that Darwinism still holds true, and religions and other beliefs are merely our imaginations working overtime.

The reason for death is obvious in a forest the fallen and the falling and the sprouted seed. One day there will be no me, wondering why I no longer exist. Wrote this five years ago when living on a narrowboat travelling the English canals. I was 72 years old, and content, my purpose being to explore the system. As now, I had enough money to live modestly, had good health. Unhappy times in my life had been stressful jobs, death of loved ones, physical pain, the usual events of life on a pendulum. I do not ask, "What is the meaning or purpose of Life," because I don't consider it a sensible question. Yes, help others, be kind, because that is how the animal we are evolved to be. A solitary animal behaves differntly. Just be.

A Sparkle on the River of Time
I love being alive
spectator or player of life
young beasts frolicking the old sedate
in the stillness of the hot day’s evening
cloud teasing the droughted earth
cattle raising listless heads
already on Winter’s rations.
Or sat in timelessness with seconds ticking
to needing tea, or leave before the night’s chill,
or lucid air in a morning wood
after the night’s rain, the first veil of Autumn’s dance
lightly on the ground
a folly on yonder hill as morsel dandled.
The only constant change.
A paddle of duck at the tapas bar of lily
the canal in and out, a python swallowed clutch of eggs
the faithful reading the advertiser’s literature
child showing 6d as evidence of tooth fairy,
a planet calm with outbreaks of violence.
The desperate actors, look at me, look at me,
oh, oh, please look at me, look, look at meee.
And walk again, gates polished by leather palms
a ruin smothered in nostalgia.
The reason for death is obvious in a forest
the fallen and the falling and the sprouted seed.
One day there will be no me,
wondering why I no longer exist.
