In your opinion, what is the meaning of our existence and how do we know that we have "succeeded in life", if you even believe in such a concept?

Read the Holy Quran, you will find your purpose.

Theirs no meaning in life bro

People will point to religions all day but theirs children getting drone striked as you read this

Theirs a child being raped as u read this

Someone is planning terrorism as u read this

And a rich dude is gambling crazy amounts of money for the fun of it as you read this

Most likely this is a social experiment. Ur achievements on earth will not last and no one will care when u die

Just don’t be a cunt. and try to help others so that if their is a good / bad place after life u go to the good one

And don’t be a pushover or too nice so that ur life on earth ain’t a shit one

Philosophers have discussed this for thousands of years.

This is a good moment to start reading and thinking.

You have succeeded in life when on your death bed you look back and say: "Wow, I really had a fulfilling and happy life".

You don't need to be a billionaire CEO to have a fulfilling and happy life. Look at Elon, he is a billionaire, but he cares more about his projects than his money. The money is just a tool for him to push the projects forward.

Find things you truly enjoy doing, try to get out of the comfort zone and experiment.

I would suggest to listen to some of Alan Watts' lectures on the subject of happiness and similar. He makes very good points, philosophically speaking.

And you need to figure that out
Once you figure that out
You'll be better off in life" - 21 Savage, Rich N*gga Shit
