I always thought there was something more to life and something I am missing.

But no, its really just the same no matter where you end up. The only thing that changes is climate and the people that surround you may have a few different views on life depending on culture.

I experienced it. And in this day and age things just seem to be even more alike than a few decades back. I can move from Germany to England, USA, Singapore you Name it and I will end up doing my routine (breakfast, gym, work, eat, …) in that location.

It sounds like my life is boring but its not. Its as exciting as the life of Billion other people. Its basic, nothing special and not boring.

I am by no means suicidal but if I had the choice to be Born again I’d decline and just rather rest. If everything goes well I have another 60 years on this Planet and I am grateful for each day to be here but 80 years is enough for me. I wouldnt want to live another 200 years

    Well, life is the same everywhere because you are the same. I’m glad that you have found a routine that fits you and makes you happy.

    But someone else may be entirely different. They would find the way you lead your life utterly unbearable. Some may merely object to individual elements of your routine while others can’t imagine having a routine at all. There are people who need a lot of variety in their lives and doing the same thing for more than a few weeks - maybe even just days - would drive them absolutely crazy.

    You are happy to do what you are doing for 80 years and then cease existing and that’s totally fine. Someone else might chase entirely different goals. They want to see the world, meet as many people as they can, learn a dozen languages and try a different job every year or no job at all. For them, 80 years may not be enough.

    Life isn’t basic. It’s incredibly diverse and exciting and chaotic. But once a person finds what they need among all this chaos, things fall into place and it starts feeling “basic” in a good way for them. And again, I’m happy that you found that for yourself. I haven’t. But I’m getting there.
