It is better not to delve into the ultimate meaning of life

Our thoughts in some way or another are linked to our life experiences, there is always something we do or we find in our life that inspires us to think about some aspects, that I personally have been able to reach the conclusion that it is better not to deepen in thought or in search of answers that give us a better understanding.

I have always said in my posts that the human being must think and question himself in much of his basic knowledge, but there are aspects that I consider better not to deepen too much, perhaps these aspects can be analyzed, treated in a light debate, but perhaps never deepen, you may wonder:

Why not delve into them?

Some aspects of our life generate thoughts that perhaps are disturbing and generate anxiety and anguish, to understand the reasons it is necessary to talk about the aspects that are necessary not to treat in depth.

What about the ultimate meaning of life?

Thinking about the ultimate meaning of life, is one of the aspects that perhaps we should avoid, or at least not delve into it, because if for example we constantly think about the origin of our existence, the purpose we have in our life, we can get answers that can not be so convincing, then in the end instead of generating tranquility what we can get is anxiety and despair to obtain convincing answers that may never come to our lives.

As human beings it is almost impossible to be satisfied when we do not obtain the necessary tools to expand our knowledge and get satisfactory answers, however it is important that we can find the balance between the searches we do and the meaning we get for such searches, if the answers we find are not what we expect, we must achieve an acceptance with the searches obtained, as we are left with the satisfaction of trying to find answers.

In summary, while analysis and reflection are important for personal growth, it is essential to find a balance and avoid becoming obsessed with aspects that are quite incomprehensible to humans, such as death, fear of the unknown, and the uncertainty of our future as a species. It is important to learn to accept uncertainty, to live in the present and to focus on what we can control.
