Recently, I had an interesting conversation with a friend. It was about the idea of free will. He believed that free will doesn’t exist and that we are effectively meaningless in the universe. To him, this made life more beautiful because it means that he works hard and tries his best, but at the end of the day, nothing matters. Because of that, he can find pleasure in small or big things, whatever he chooses. Everything happens in the way it was meant to be. That was an interesting idea to me because I have often tried to control and change things. I’ve seen many people do the same, but in the end, that creates misery for them. I want to explore this more, but I think it’s an interesting idea to consider.
