    I think your comment is the most succinct summary in and of itself. It exists like a perfect quote from Greek philosophy. I was purely pointing out the broken issue of copyright as it exists.

    The point of existence is to struggle for better existence in some schools of thought as you’ve summarized.

    In others, it’s to realize that by struggling through cycles of existence you are not aware of the trap of existence, like Zen Buddhism.

    In traditional Abrahamic schools of thought it’s to honor God enough and follow your creed that you get rewarded after you die.

    I think the way I feel about existence is more Nihilist. Something like https://youtu.be/E_qvy82U4RE

      I was where you were, a nothing matters, what’s the point nihilist. But I learned that I had skills and talents that could help people. Ended up going to law school and now I helping folks.

      I believe every person can put their pants on in the morning and go out and make their local community just a little bit better. People get caught up in macro morals but just giving your neighbor a plate of Thanksgiving goods goes such a long way.
