I had everything I ever wanted, I was still miserable. I lost everything. Girlfriend of 7 years cheated on me, we broke up, I got laid off, became unhireable, got addicted to drugs, got off drugs, disconnected from everyone and everything, reconnected, so on and so forth. It all feels the exact same. I don’t want anything anymore.
I mean, I got everything I wanted, and now I don’t want anything, and it’s great. Now I can pick out any transient want that comes my way, from something small like baking a cake to something larger like starting a new hobby, and I never have to worry that its getting in the way of me pursuing my actual life goals, since they’re already achieved. Seems to me that the pursual of ever higher goals is why we have the problem of the rich hoarding wealth - because it’s never enough for them to have “enough” and be done.
They were trying to dismiss your comment with an appeal to ridicule. Basically saying it was immature or naive instead of actually engaging with the topic.
Comments like that can be dismissed with as little effort as the author used to create them.

Weird. We led such different lives, but ended up at the same place. Who says our current reality isn’t soul-crushing?

Bingo.
Yikes. Well then you will get nothing. Not because you deserve nothing, but because we all act in accordance with our desires.
It could change one day. But for now, the reason I’m alive is because I was born and I haven’t died yet.
