The Why Of Life: Why We Live Without Purpose and How to Find Meaning in a Pointless Life Quotes

“Capitalism has a way of making us all hypocrites. While there are people who are being exploited in making our clothes, devices, and other conveniences, we remain ignorant of their plight and continue to support companies that do those heinous acts. This principle is similar to euthanasia. We all know that billions of people are suffering worldwide, yet instead of giving them a peaceful ending, we exploit them for what they are worth and squeeze the life out of their hearts only for us to profit from their deaths.”

“There will be people who would need euthanasia, mainly to 'get out' of their current situation, one that was created by capitalism itself. Since capitalism cannot profit from someone once they are dead, its commandment now is to make all life valuable and precious and to protect it by all means, so it can continue exploiting us.”

“We are who others are. We cannot exist in this world devoid of other people’s grace. There will always be a time when we have to face others, whether we like it or not. From the minute we are born, we have to face the embrace of our mother and father. To us, they are other people; they are not you, even though parts of them live through you. From the time you are born, you have unequivocally entered a social contract with your mother and father – that you will live in this world.”
