the meaning of life is giving

introspection is essential to happiness but being stuck internally for too long leads to the question of "what's the point"

to find a point is to look outside of yourself and engage with everything external

there is meaning in every facet of life - life meaning life itself

take a walk somewhere in nature far from passing cars and built up roads and look down
every step you take infringes on multitudes of ecosystems

you can walk along moss and think about the microscopic creatures living in the metropolis under your feet
or find a cool stick that is coated with lichen and find wonder in the way it pervades every tree in sight
you can see empty snail shells cooked under the sun and remember it was once carried around by a little creature wet with life
you can look up and see bright white clouds and think about how much distance they're going to cover after you look away
you can look up and see a blanket of grey and think about just how fantastically dense clouds can get
when travelling you can spot the gathered twigs in every tree where a birdy has made a home for its baby
even find a rather poopy area in your town and find comfort that a bird has it's habits running alongside yours
you can think further underground at the crystal and fossil that has survived millions of years

the list could go on and on and on as once you spot one thing, you will spot it for the rest of time
as well as discover your own favourite things about the world we're on
it is isolating to be so intelligent but so trapped by a shitty system
but you can find freedom by engaging with the honestly bizarrely lucky rock we somehow found consciousness on

my initial point of giving is that when you observe these things you take the wisdom with you
holding the wisdom and brightness you find around you, you can foster a brightness and love within yourself, that then offers you to GIVE

to spread wisdom to people that are sad or isolated eg. offer this same advice i am you
to give love to the creatures and plants that you enjoy daily eg. animal feed\shelter and water
to give to people that cannot enjoy these things eg. charity and campaign
to give in the form of art eg. offering outsiders a view they may not have considered
to give more spaces of natural life eg. gardening
and when you can't give to others, you can give to yourself eg. skincare, bathing, journalling, art again, spending time with family

if you are struggling to FIND meaning, MAKE meaning
give love and make change around you to foster life
