RE: Is your direction any different to anyone else's?
Very thoughtful post.
It strikes me though, despite your doubts, if there is a hereafter (which I believe), than as CS Lewis suggests, celebrating, "the journey of life" as the "true prize", is a mistake.
Akin to playing in mud puddles, instead of enjoying a travel and holidays at sea.
"We are half hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are too easily pleased."
What if joy, and pain, is just a pointer?

Well I guess we'll all find out at some stage as we will all die.
I don't think living ones best version of life could ever be a mistake though. We are here, not anywhere else, and so one might as well be their best version and live their best life. I don't believe that celebrating the journey of life could ever be a mistake and for those that do believe it well, they are free to leave...The world is overpopulated as it is...Better they check out and leave more room for those who value life.

Oh I dont disagree that there is a lot of lets call it value in the journey we all walk, as in the little things or the "moment".
I guess I just wanted to push a little to challenege the idea that maybe there is something more than what first appears.
Thanks for the reply. I enjoyed your post.

I'd like there to be something after I die. A place where there's no government taxes, burgers are good for you and no one takes duckface selfies...
