 Sometimes I can’t help but wonder, what is the point of all of the things I do. Clearly there is some satisfaction and dopamine boost while accomplishing things, but to what end? 🤔🤔🤔 
 The memes. All the dank memes. 
 To what end? 
 Meme Nirvana 

Are we having an existential conversation here? 
 I guess 🤷‍♂️ 
 Or are you just questioning your current occupation? 
 I am questioning my current life choices, as I frequently do 🤔 
 If you could do something else, like having a genie wish, what would it be? 
 Don’t have an answer to that, have no clear idea TBH. I just want to work on the complex issues, solving good problems. Nothing specific. 🤷‍♂️ 
 I feel ya. Sometimes I feel like “the meaning of life” is to give it meaning. 
 I am retarded and wrong about almost everything but ima throw this out there

IMHO: the magic path of life is there ain’t no magic path🤔

My favorite dude in the world is a fren who is irritatingly happy😳…I tell my wife all the time that if he ever gets cancer he’ll be the happiest dude on the cancer ward😂

…this is a dude who manages to laugh at everything life has to throw at him…good or bad…almost like he refuses to surrender…the most infuriatingly inspirational MF I’ve ever met

TLDR version: make good choices…and when u don’t make the best of ur bad choices…and when u can’t kick life’s ass…and when u don’t laugh harder than the other dudes…and always remember there is some other non bitcoining MF in the world that wishes he was u😂🤣🌅

Jus one idgit’s opinion 😉🫡 https://image.nostr.build/c1c148eec1e243024871d48ea11d1d5df30c9266dc22664a1f67de97f1aacd67.jpg  
 Love this! Life is shorter than any of us can realize. Be pleasant with those you get to share it with! 
 💯🎯 
 Those are some pretty wise words coming from an idgit!😉 
 What’s his npub? 
 Can’t be doxin my fren😉🐸

Truth🤔

…I’ll drop some breadcrumbs in case ur ever in southwest Louisiana and u find/come across him

…he’s 77 yo and very middle class but seems to understand real wealth (has what he needs and is comfortable with what he has…envy seems a foreign concept to this dude)
…imo, his store o value is kindness and currency is humor
…plays golf 4-5 times a week (mostly at local goat ranches) and usually shoots a score lower than his age…this is where Ud most likely find him…listen for his infectious laugh and a small group of surrounding frenz hurling good natured insults his way…usually as they’re  paying off their golf bets

…he’s one of those guys who never meets a stranger…so say hello if u cross him

…if u find him ur life will be enriched…this I guarantee 🌅🫡

*By the way he ain’t on nostr (twitter either) 
 This is the final philosophical question. If that's where you find yourself you're onto something good. 

A Confession by Tolstoy gave me some guidance.  
 Someone suggested I read it. Excellent read. I’ll listen again. Hugs 🫂  
 I always question the reason of everything I do, and it feels like a void most of the time.
Turns out that I'm a sedentary mf, and when I'm back to doing some kind of workout, those kinds of questions vanishes... 
 The things you do for Nostr or just life in general? I think the things you do for Nostr are great and other people definitely get value out of them.

For life in general though I often ask myself the same questions and haven’t really come up with an answer.. 
 This! 
 I'd ask, why are you doing what you're doing? Eg. Money, validation, passion, boredom, etc
