I have no idea what is important in life any more. What is important in life?
I feel so drained right now. My social circle is basically that of a functional extrovert in the popular sense of the world. It is loads of nothing. I guess it is important, but really its not the most important thing. Going to parties isn't important (not that I'm a hard partier). Sex isn't important (though sex is vital to life, and I'm a virgin). I'm talking in terms of meaning. I want to say relationships are important, and they are, but you know many people have terrible relationships.
All this stuff may be lumped in with the materialism which dominates the modern mentality. Too many have lost their souls to the idiot box. Most relationships, sex, friendships, etc... are extremely superficial. One might as well be friends with a robot.
Then there are those who are devoted to "science" or a "life of the mind", which seems to me to be another form of materialism which contents itself in the acquisition of thoughts instead of plasma televisions.
So is happiness important then? You can seek happiness, but you probably will not find it if you think it is hiding. Knowing this, I'm still very disappointed.
I guess you can't really ask what is important in life, so I will ask this:
What is important to you in life?
