I don't know what to put here
I recently went through a rough ego death and I don't know where to go from here anymore. In some ways, there are positives that have happened because of it. I feel at peace with life's impermanence and have a deeper appreciation for the present more than I have before hand. I feel less attached to things that I once considered important to me, and now I'm afraid of myself because of it. I want my life to have purpose, but searching for it has been hard as of late.
I recently have turned towards Buddhism because of the similar experiences and beliefs that happen to align with my train of thought on morality. The first nobel truth in Buddhism resonates deeply with me: Life is suffering. ("Dukkha" - the word used by Siddhartha Gautama, AKA Buddha, is a multipurpose word in the Pali language for "suffering" also meaning "pain", "unsatisfactoriness" and/or "unease".) This is how I feel about life now. I am not saying that as a negative (mostly), but rather as a realized harsh reality... one that I wish I understood sooner when I was a little younger. Life feels... empty... I dunno how else to put it.
Thoughts if any? I hope I haven't offended anyone with the talk of spiritualism in this post.
