If you had to sum up your life philosophy in one sentence, what would it be?

This prompt is unfair for someone like me whose entire blog is about philosophy. There’s so much I want to say! But you still want a one sentence summary? Fine! Here it is:

Life is objectively meaningless but there’s no need to have a crisis about it, as it’s actually a good thing, because this means that you can live however you want and there’s no way to do life wrong; so just pay attention to the moment and try your best to reduce the unnecessary suffering in your life and accept the necessary suffering by living intentionally and choosing as much of your experience as you can.

I know, I know… I took liberty with how long a sentence can be. But I’m actually surprised that I was able to resist adding more. If you would like to know more about my philosophy you can check out the Philosophy page. Or start with my journey to philosophy.
