Selflessness is the meaning; God or not.
Suicide is the highest meaning possible then. No self, no problem!
It's seeing selflessness and our capacity for it from a more reasonable point of view, because it's reason and logic that serves as the basis of selflessness.
Without us, there is no potential for selflessness to the extent we can choose to even suffer for it; not to mention collectively, and the extent that could potentially benefit everything else in the process.
Prove it.
I'd love to, and thanks for the opportunity. If we look at humans the same way we do any other species, then we can plainly see a collection of concious beings with the most capacity for either ourselves, or everything else. I think therefore the less barbaric or more righteous way to live would be to dismiss yourself; to set yourself aside, so to speak. Because we're the only living things to be able to even go as far as to suffer to strive to do so. Please check out my other few posts regarding the same topic as further evidence.
Truth to me is what reality consists of, despite anyway mankind has presently organized itself and manipulated its environment.
Smoking crack and ranting proves nothing?
