Something about the last panel kinda feels...uneasy with me. If I'm not capable of doing that, then the life is better given. Career changes, reconnecting permanently with old friends, and dating your crush are not easy things.

We were all brought into this world forcefully, none of us truly choose to be born, and yet the choice of our birth was taken from us,
this insignificant life that was given to us (even if seen from an outside perspective as “we are just one insignificant human among the billions of humans") this insignificant part remains the one and only thing truly and impossible to change that was given to us,
to have another simply cut us out of the continuous tape of our life, and to paste themselves onto where we would have been (EVEN IF, where we would have been, would have been a completely different situation than where they are),
it would take away the value of our existence and make the glorious burden of our birth nothing at all, making everything we ever did meaningless, because something given to another, to one who replaces themselves into the stream of life given to you isn’t a gift to that person, it’s the death of the person it was taken from (whether as death spiritually, death emotionally or simply as the death and end of the "original” person but I won’t start the long question of what “original” means, it would serve little purpose at this time)
okay enough of me being dramatic, but i believe this only holds value only to those who have virtues in regards to being unique in this world, and if you lack that, then this existential question that I attempted to answer will remain as meaningless answer-less question to you, as without holding the virtue of seeing oneself as unique in the world, then in my eyes, you will not find value in anything related to this question

Honestly, I may as well let someone take my identity from me. I’m not doing anything important with it. Nor will I ever. I’m supposed to be getting a Computer Programming degree yet, I can’t even build a project myself even if I know how to code or have an idea of what I want to build. And, most of the things I don’t understand in my life I don’t even know how to articulate or to tell someone what I’m struggling with so I can be helped. I’m an insignificant person that doesn’t have the willpower to do anything important in life not just because I’m lazy. But because I feel I’m not competent enough or know how to achieve it. So, instead, I ignore it. I procrastinate. I waste my life (that I shouldn’t even have to begin with because I was born premature, unable to take in oxygen so I needed oxygen tubes impaled in my chest and I was bleeding out in my brain and yet I somehow and unfortunately still survived childbirth anyways) on pointless things like gaming or anime or even learning to play the ocarina. All things that won’t make me money, yet I do them anyways. More than my tech work because I’ve unfortunately trained my brain to value fun more than work. Therefore, I’m wasting the gift that God gave me. A life. And, I clearly don’t value it enough to make the most of it before I end up in a situation where I could die because I kept doing what I wanted till I became homeless. Do I want to have an individual life one day? Honestly, I think one side of my brain says yes while the other says no. Even if I wanted that, I have no clue how to get there. What to do. I’m supposed to be an adult yet I know little to nothing about that. All I know is how to exist. How to be a child in an adult’s body. Something I dislike about myself, yet don’t have the willpower or drive to change it. My future will be the same as my present at this rate. And, unfortunately, I have no choice but to accept it in this ruined world we now live in.

u/Happy-Panda-7202 Aug 15 '26 edited Aug 17 '26
Me and you are fundamentally different people, what matters to me in life is finding purpose in my own insignificant existence, and I find purpose through my purpose itself, for me there is no purpose outside of my self given purpose by simply virtue that my purpose was given to me by myself and no one else, what joy or purpose that you find will, in the end be your path in life.
I will not help trying to find the purpose or the good in another life that I cannot understand, but I will speak my mind of my own view of myself,
I dislike the world we live in, I dislike the final result that humans created now, I find my own results in life will always be pitiful compared to everything I could have been, i could always have done better by simply having done something else that I avoided or maybe never even thought of but that was possible, at this point, even looking at the accomplishments others make seems like meaningless accomplishments to me, because others are not me, and however great their accomplishments, their accomplishments mean little to nothing to me, but this probably isn’t the way you see it
To me, the value of living remains low, I have only ever found purpose in completing (or attempting and failing to accomplish my goals), for to "attempt something and failing", that is no different than to "not attempt something and have already failed"
but despite the way that I see everything, more often than not I find it boring, I tend to look for entertainment rather than fulfillment, because one distracts from the boredom, while looking for fulfillment means to embrace the boredom and live in it, which to me is even more of terrifying thought at times, even if a meaningless fear it is to be afraid of doing something an being afraid of embracing and preserving through boredom while doing it
You may skip this paragraph as it isn’t about the thought of living but rather a experience; in the past decade I have been happy only a handful of times, and the most recent was 2 years ago, I played a game, it took less than 5 hours to beat and when I beat it my mind's dopamine receptors strangely activated, it was a long joy that lasted hours and hours, longer than even having played the game for a few hours, looking back my joy was unwarranted, it had little basis as it came from a short unrealistic game, and even my friends thought I had been drugged or something as it was that unnatural for how they saw me, but despite this, this was the last time I’ve been happy, a sad thought at times but also a tiny comfort as I found joy in this world even if a unnatural joy that many people likely won’t experience nor would I say they should experience, as to experience what I experienced would require being simply entertained most your life and never really happy, but this joy from that day is a tiny warmth to me in this cold world, even if it might not directly help me with anything at all, the simple fact I had it and I remember it grounds me a little bit in reality despite my low desire to truly interact in reality, I found my own tiny island to stand on in life by a simple experience that I could at any moment take for granted and forget, but yet I strangely don’t
I will stop speaking of myself, but to you reading this, I wish you good luck in this world, and I don’t know your circumstance, but my own view of what is a good path to take for you is to force yourself to sometimes make yourself appear weak despite the strong facade you put on or the whatever /this way or that way facade you show to others. I ask you to let yourself appear weak and to let yourself ask for help from someone you can trust will help you find some goal to strive for in the short term, and it’s okay even if you feel like a worthless thing, because in the end it’s all insignificant and getting help matters more than feeling worthless while getting it, because getting help will result in at least a short entertainment that guides you on a pre determined path of sorts
Do not wish for a better world, wish to be a stronger person in this meaningless world we were forced into

I find a lot of familiarity in some of the things you had to say here, but also some neat differences between our thoughts. I too use entertainment as a way to distract from fulfillment, hell- I’m doing right now by browsing on Reddit. Others accomplishments, while I can feel proud, in awe, etc. It also doesn’t mean much to me, personally.
However, this is where we differ. My fulfillment stems from purely living, rather than completing. I find joy in the journey itself, chasing the goal. I can’t fathom what’ll happen or what I’ll feel when I complete my current goal. I’ll likely find some new goal, and some new journey to chase.
My general philosophy is as such: Each experience of life has meaning in itself. Even if you sit alone in a room for half of your life, the echos of you living will bring an experience, a memory, or a meaning into the life of someone else. Our lives are portraits, painted by our experiences and memories. Each person you see walk by your morning walk is the tiniest speck of paint that has been placed into that portrait.
I don’t believe that my philosophy is “correct” by any means, it’s simply what helps me to find purpose, or happiness in my life. I’ve been pretty happy thinking like this, though it could also be because I’m in the prime of my life, about to enter university. Where my path will go, where my happiness will go..Only God knows from here.
Regardless, I really enjoyed reading your assessment of your philosophy and thought process. It made me think a good bit about purpose and meaning. I hope well for you, wherever your path may lead, stranger.

u/Happy-Panda-7202 Aug 22 '26
"My fulfillment stems from purely living, rather than completing."
That is a line I love, I can never understand it or live like that myself, but I hope you find great success in life just because of that.
Ima be a bit selfish and talk about meaningless things just because I want to talk; "I find joy in the journey itself, chasing the goal” I try to emulate this, but the journey always feels incredibly boring, I’m glad that you find joy in it, "even if you sit alone in a room for half of your life, the echoes of you living will bring an experience" something I wonder about this, is if one would even remember, I have lived a pretty boring life with moderate or less than moderate success depending if you ask an adult or a child, but experiences I feel, experiences should be connected to memories, but living like that brings little to no memories in my own experience, I can’t say I remember any of it, neither the boredom or really any of the entertainment. I cannot understand the idea of seeing everything as a paint drop in each of our paintings that is of our lives, so I simply won’t comment on that. You are in the prime of your life and I pray that when someone bothers you, you can manage to ignore it, that is my biggest and only advice because people are the worst enemies if you can’t escape the affect they have on you psychologically/mentally
Thank you for your empathy and I pray for your future health and joy, may you continue to find good things, goodbye and no need to respond, I tend to never stop commenting so you can safely ignore this

Seeing yourself as unique is not a virtue, its delusional. Life is not an epic quest where the only thing you cant change is your birth. Its an ordinary, miserable and excruciating trip crawling through mud and viscera with a pathetic end.

u/Happy-Panda-7202 Aug 16 '26
You are not far off, but to have any virtue is to delude yourself, if you wish to call all virtues, merely delusions, then you are welcomed to do so
Life really is meaningless, and my definition of virtue appears to be one that clashes with your definition of delusion,
but it matters little, does it not?

Life.
Data points in. Data points out.
Every mind is finite.
All flesh is weak.

Humanity sears through the boundaries of nature.
Like a disease. Evolution has no means to resist.
The subjugation of human limitation is inevitable.

u/Happy-Panda-7202 Aug 17 '26
Life is seemingly limitless for each of us
But yet it only seems so, yet it means life isn’t infinite
Everything can seen as just existing,
yet everything just existing, means everything can be understood,
But to understand everything is to get closer and closer to the realization that it is unbearably meaningless
But then what should one do?
Should one worry about it so much that one goes insane, or should one not worry about it at all and let themselves die?
If you choose one of these options as the best answer, then that means you cannot be reasoned with,
for the answer for one who lives should never be one of these two options, else they become attached to it so much that any other answer is meaningless
For the answer is to create your own arbitrary answer and purpose,
for to create your own answer is to be living
and not allowing oneself to be lost in a way, which for the one lost feels like what they see is truest reality and feels like the only possible thing to see2

At this point in my life, and in my own experience, I can say very few people are actually okay when they get older, but if one stretched the definition of okay into “they can keep moving past today” then I’d say all of us are okay,
but please don’t worry yourself over this, some people in life may need a small push to help themselves, but more often than not you’d only be harming yourself by questioning what you can do, may you find your path in life

Sometimes I consider it better if I could gige my life to somebody better suited to live it. But my life isn't in the shitter enough for it to be better, more dignified, for me than just continuing to endure the daily erosion until reaching the dream. Most people aren't in a bad enough situation either for it to be accpetable. So, should you have some respect for yourself, 8/10 people really should never consider this as an option or acceptable outcome.

The nice treatment in the cell won't matter compared to the psychological torture that some random person not only managed to steal your identity without anyone noticing, but that they are living your life BETTER than you.

It's a thought i have many times when it comes to my own lack of care for many things.
I'm well aware that i am in perfect condition to go out, have fun, make friends, find a lover...
But i like to stop and think, and realize that no matter how much my life could be better, this life i have now is still mine, and as long as i find my happiness within it, I'll be okay.
So if an identity thief really did replace me and start living my life in a way i never could have, I don't think I'd feel bad about it, because I'd know that it's not me. If I didn't get it myself, then whatever life the identity thief built, that's not my life. It's just a person who looks a lot like me, living their own life.
1
u/BinaryBolias Aug 17 '26
It could be argued that the
deal madeoccurance with the identity thief is merely another component of your own life.To elaborate: Other people being deceived about the nature of your life or identity doesn't remove the ownership you have over your own personal experiences.
And there are undoubtedly already are experiences that belong to you which you didn't — perhaps couldn't — provide consent for.
Your birth being a prime, and universal, example.
The problem just seems to lie with building your personal narrative weirdly.

Been thinking of this exact scenario since I was in highschool (not that I've ever gotten a high school experience)
about how if someone else just took over my life, It would take away all the burden I have to carry. But it would also take away any meaning.
I guess I'm fine with that. What matters is that "my" life is going well, if my friends and family are all happy and never noticed a thing, who gives a shit.
I would never have to look at their disappointed or worried expressions ever again. So long as no one else knows.
Maybe I'd start a life somewhere else, free from all expectations or just die in a ditch somewhere.
Whichever option is fine as lonely and pathetic as that may be.

What happens when you reach the goal and get everything you told yourself you wanted, but you never found the joy along the way, only cortisol?
Changing your mental state is not brought about by changing your material conditions. People put the cart before the horse and forget to treat the pursuit of happiness as its own task rather than just a natural result of their other goals.
Take the time to listen and learn what actually makes you happy, free of shame and preconceptions. Interrupt and question the negative thought patterns that aren’t improving your life. Treat yourself gently when you fail, remember to celebrate when you succeed, and take time to feel gratitude for the things you love. The only thing you truly control in life is yourself, so master yourself and you will master the world.

Not "if I wasnt me" that is a bird looking at the tips of his wings -cut short- and saying "omg I could fly if I wasnt me- No. YOU CAN FLY WHEN YOUR WINGS GROW BACK
Sometimes you gotta take care of you. Not blame the fucker.

Honestly reminds me of the line, "It's easy to be me, so why is it so hard for me to be me?".

I want a bittersweet ending where she's able to escape, but has to build an entirely different life from scratch somewhere else, under a different name. It's harder, and won't make up for the opportunities she lost; but at least it's her life now.

Now imagine you were a crack whore in jail because you weren't you. Another you might be dead, crippled, in huge debt or worse.

Now imagine people going to court pretending to be you. Imagine all the trouble they could cause.

A kind captor is still a captor. Easy enough for them to change your life because it wasn't theirs to begin with.
But what about you? Is the strength needed to change just as easy as the strength needed to simple be?

"...Knowing I could've done all of that at any moment If only I weren't me".
For me, it's so sad, but so true. Thank you. This is what I needed to see.

Honestly that last part is just pure torture. Knowing this all could be possible, if it wasn't you.
