Values, principles, meaning and other bullshit

Life does not need to be organized according to an idea of how it should be. Love, truth, compassion, humility, freedom, goodness, enlightenment, morality, and ethics are concepts created by society to keep the herd predictable. To domesticate you. Society invented "good" and "bad" so you would police yourself out of guilt. Values are disease designed to make you an obedient cog for society, not to help you function in reality.

Nature has no values. A lion tearing apart a gazelle is biology, not evil. But humans are terrified of being just another animals, so they invented a "value system" to create an illusion of higher purpose to feel special.

Having values guarantees misery. Your biological drives will always conflict with your psychological ideals. The gap between what you are and what your values say you should be is where your suffering, hypocrisy, and self-hatred live. If you cling to a fixed principle, you are choosing a fantasy over the raw, unpredictable demand of the present moment.

Is compassion actually present when it is deliberately manufactured to meet a moral standard?

I must become a better person.

Who created the image of a better person?

I must discover my purpose.

Why assume life requires a purpose?

I must overcome my ego.

Isn't the attempt itself just another ego project?
