How sure are you of your direction in life? When is the last time you felt insecure? I feel very proud that I have the ability to rise above the bullshit and believe in things. I can sit in a field and be completely sure of my life. At this point, in terms of modern society, I am a nobody, like most everyone is. But that doesn't matter to me at all. In death we are equal. Doesn't matter if you're Picasso or Piscopo, you just have to believe in yourself and who you are in life. I firmly believe that the most important things in life are birth and death. These are the two great moments that define us, and they give value to all that happen in between. I think it's much more important to improve yourself throughout life, because in the end, on your deathbed, you're going to be all alone with your thoughts, reflecting. That art or movie or business or house you made isn't going to matter much at all, save for the experience that molded you. So in the end-the very end-we are left with ourselves. Wondering, thinking, asking. Waiting to be taken to that next level. Or is there a level at all? I want to know what you think.

chiasmus:
I don't think life really should have a "direction". Life is not a vector from point A to point B. And, of course, the very concept of "improvement" is based on entirely subjective values. No matter what you're doing at any point, you're "improving" yourself under one set of values and "devaluing" yourself under another. Is it "self-improvement" to sit around reading philosophy? Maybe. But what end does that accomplish? Is it "self-improvement" to amass a fortune in real estate? Maybe. But one of the great paradoxes of life is that every dollar carries the taint of a million atrocities against nature and fellow man - and yet to live a completely ascetic lifestyle, without possessions, isolates you from your fellow man. Is it "self-improvement" to own nothing? Maybe, but then is anything that leads to misery really an improvement of the self?

No - in my opinion, there is not only no "next level"; there's no "current level". Life isn't a progression; it's a series of constructs. And in the end, nearly every single person judges themselves relative to his or her neighbor, because that's about all we have to hold on to. We live out a reality constructed on top of other people's realities constructed, ironically, on our own.
