Creating meaning in my life
Ok, this isn't like a QLC post here. I'm not depressed or anything. But here's my story.
I'm 22, living alone in DC. I have a good job, as in, it pays the bills. I'm a programmer for the DoD. Now, let me tell you, it's not a very fulfilling job. Bascially, I help the military kill as many people as possible. I am very good at what I do, but I can't see myself being a programmer forever. I'm planning to go back to school (law or finance maybe, if I'm going to be miserable then I might as well make a lot of money), but until then I would like to do something else that will provide me with fulfillment (and maybe help meet some cute girls?) I don't know, what do other people do besides work and play TV? I work out after work, go out drinking with my friends, play poker and video games, all that jazz. Give me some suggestions.

You don't deserve a flaming. There isn't anything you can do to give meaning to your life, because there is no meaning. You can't even escape this through suicide so you should just accept it.

What makes you happy? Do that.
I like to improve myself. I like to learn things in general and specific topics excite me a lot. There are certain people I enjoy being around a lot and that's pretty much it. |

How're your reflexes? I suggest you train to be a cage fighter.

The problem is I know all this stuff and feel like it's a waste cause I never get to apply it to anything. Maybe I'll try out for Jeopardy. I'm a very goal oriented person and I just don't have any short term goals. I think that's my problem. |
