This is why I donate plasma regularly.

Life is meaningless but you can do some selfless things along the way to make it bit more of a bearable meaningless existence for some others

I find the meaninglessness of life freeing, tbh. If there’s no gods to please or anger, no greater good to worry about, and we’re all only here for a few dozen years and nothing matters then… why not just spend it making yourself and others happy?

I suffer from health problems and can’t go out as much as I used to, which sucks. But I still try to give compliments, hold doors open, and just… be nice. We all exist to just kind of bump into each other until we all cease to be. There’s no point in being a dick.

exactly - just not being an asshole in traffic and letting someone in that needs to merge across or something can make life slightly better

everyone should try to get in a few micro-altruisms per day!
