Nothing matter anymore.

That probably didn't cheer you up.

Probably not. Try sending a money order next time and see if that does.

There is nothing that matter anymore. Questions, answers, being, not being. It has no meaning anymore. Nobody cares anymore.

Life has it's ups and downs. I don't see a whole lot to believe in any more but that doesn't mean you can't have fun.

Family, friends, helping folks when you can. I don't really think you need to find any more meaning than that.

That is not funny and not even true. It is a half-truth.

What part of it wasn't true?

That things matter is an illusion.
But it's one I like.
Don't deny illusions which work for you.

Happiness is an illusion?

Is happiness even possible without our illusions?

Illusions I suppose brings us grief too. Maybe just get rid of the illusions that cause you grief, keep the ones that make you happy.

Useful illusions can enhance happiness.

Is happiness even possible without our illusions?

Possibly.
I don't know.

Illusions I suppose brings us grief too. Maybe just get rid of the illusions that cause you grief, keep the ones that make you happy.

Sounds great to me.

Your illusion doesn't seem to be making you happy.

You don't necessarily get more happy with more money. Studies have shown that, money matter to a degree, but once you have enough money to have a stable, normal and average life, more money won't necessarily make you more happy.
That is related to what matters.
Read some psychology of what makes humans happy or what matters.

Money is an illusion, freedom is an illusion. Don't really feel a need to control others. Money is a tool not a solution.

I didn't say anyone got happy. I said they got to live, be free (if they have enough money to buy their freedom) and they get to control other people. Which solves most of the problems most people see themselves as having.

Money is an illusion, freedom is an illusion. Don't really feel a need to control others. Money is a tool not a solution.

Money is the tool that fixes nearly everything. And nearly everyone knows it. Which is why nearly everyone's primary concern in life is to get as much money as possible.

I thought you were sharing a realization right up until I read the last sentence.

How have you arrived at the conclusion that nobody cares anymore?

I left your first post alone, because it was rooted in pure ignorance, but I felt compelled to respond here.

Many who found "enough money" are dead because the realization that it didn't buy happiness drove them into depression and ultimately suicide.

Since you have finally discovered the truth, Grasshopper, you can now begin to live.

Surely "glasshopper"?

I do not believe this is remotely true of most people I know.

Most people seem to choose to earn a living doing something they find relatively congenial, which they think will earn then enough money to have a decent life and provide them some satisfaction, self-respect and interest.

Hanging on to resentment for gays and atheists or wishing to teach your spiritual path to others in hopes of saving humanity and having it rejected is a sure way of creating negativity and hopelessness in your life. If you let go of any desires to improve others and just focus on your own life situations, it will probably give you more feelings of purpose.

I never said anything about money buying happiness. I said it buys life, freedom, and control. Which is does, and which most people think are the solutions to most of their problems.
