I'm not going to be some wise guy and tell you what you need to do - you're an adult and you may be smarter than me, so you are going to have to figure this one out for your self.

One flaw that i see in your own design is that you're asking other people for the meaning of life... or what i presume you mean to say is that you want is the meaning for YOUR life - how can we tell you is all that i can say?

Do you want me to tell you what to do (that is to say do you wish to be the effect)??

Or do you wish to be the master of your own reality (that is to say that, do you wish to be the cause)??

Listen to this song OP. And no, it doesn't have to be about God. It could be about your own life or someone you care about. It could even just be something abstract.

I have a hard time deciding if everything matters or nothing matters

Obviously I lean more towards the latter
that has absolutely nothing to do with the world having meaning. we just happen to post on forums and wage slave in offices. we are not more significant than an ant or worm.

I was saying we have the capability of questioning if there is a meaning or not. Ants and worms don't have that capability

If they do, they aren't able to communicate it in the same way we can

and I'm saying, "the ability to reflect and question" has NO bearing on whether the universe has meaning, ethics or anything

we are ANIMALS who are a little different but not by much

when you step on an ant hill and kill thousands of ants, do you feel any empathy?

Some people perceive their lives as meaningful

Some people feel bad when they kill insects

Perception is reality for a lot of people

Lol, that'a a good one. I stopped putting thought into chit like that after I got divorced. Realized how pointless it is to put so much stock/"meaning" into almost anything. Hurts a lot less when everything goes to hell in a handbasket on ya when you stop trying to figure it out. srs.
