I can't give you a reason for anything in this world because I, too, believe that there is no point in anything. If I have kids, I'll soon be dead. They will soon be dead also. If they make a difference in the world, it won't matter because the Earth will NOT last forever. If we manage to travel elsewhere to start a new civilization, that will eventually be meaningless too. "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero." If you manage to find a "love" in your life, big deal, you have accomplished nothing, as you will soon be dead. There is nothing to live for in the long run, other than death. The only point I can find in life is to do stuff that will temporarily appease your body and mind, don't let worries or the need to find "love" stop you from being happy. Life is a lot better when you are happy, so anything that bothers you now, just let it go because it doesn't matter.

So you're basically saying we should just ignore instead of try to fix all of our problems in order to be happy? I agree that happiness is a big part of life... but I don't think just saying "f.u.c.k it, it won't matter once I'm dead anyways" can bring about happiness. The world would be alot shittier if a majority of people used that reasoning...

We attain happiness by satisfying our "needs" and desires. I agree that love does not necessarily have to be found... it is not a necessity, but it is a desire for many. To deny that desire is to deny the chance at greater happiness. You should not feel that you have done something wrong if you cannot find it, but you should not stop looking if it is what you want.

I also disagree with "If you manage to find a "love" in your life, big deal, you have accomplished nothing, as you will soon be dead." If this is true, then what defines an accomplishment? The word "accomplishment" would be non-existant because what you're saying is that nothing is an accomplishment because in the end we're all screwed anyways.

"There is nothing to live for in the long run, other than death."

If you see your life as a waiting period for your death then you're obviously not happy with life... but your advice was to ignore the things that bother you instead of trying to fix them in order to make you happy. Did you not take your own advice? If that's the case then your advice obviously isn't very good...
