You don’t. Why do you need to cope with it? All these existentialists saying to create your own meaning but that’s just flawed. Inherently they all believe in and refute Nihilism by their own logic.
More absurd to me than anything. Anyways, is life actually inherently meaningless? It’s like asking if God exists. The only thing we know to be wrong today is to absolutely say one way or the other whether they do or not.
If life was meaningless, then what? If it wasn’t, then what? Which one do you want to live for? Based on the answer to that question, do you want to live at all?
Many people will say no. That makes sense in a world as fucked up as humans have made it. At that point what is the point?
I’d argue that the point is to make choosing to live as easy as choosing to die so that we can answer that question sincerely instead of being coerced into the path of least resistance which is a very animalistic response.
To simplify: if we choose life is worth living, then the goal is to make it worth living for all. If we choose life is not worth living, then NOTHING matters. No more complaining.
Make your choice…
