Which philosophers can help me find inherent value in life without being religious?

Follow the chart, bruh! Shit is so cash.

I guess ill give Nietzsche a try, I was planning on it anyway because I've read a lot into Schopenhauer. Never heard of Julius Evola though and from looking him up he seems like someone i could be interested in.

Suicide seems like the best route.

Religion doesn't bring value to life, fucking retard. I'm Orthodox, but only a moron would think it would. You're at step -1 so far.

I never said you by being religious you have automatically found meaning, its just a means of finding meaning. I consider it a pathway. I can say in positivity however that it's a hell of a lot easier to find meaning when religious rather then not.

>Suzuki recommended for Zen literature
REEEEEEEEEEEEE get this orientalist out of here, he watered down Zen to shit to appeal to Western academics. Read the diamond sutra, and then Hui Neng's Platform Sutra. I recommend the Shambhala publication of the former and Red Pine's translation of the latter.

if you're so fucking self-absorbed, so dense, so painfully stupefied by the "enlightened" societal opinion that is so common among our contemporaries -- none.

what about family? you find value in that. learning, even. you find value in that.

well shit; i didn't even have to have the misfortune of knowing you in order to understand what you, the average fuckwit, finds value in.

How can you not think there is any in, let alone inherent value in life?

I find value in learning, its why I'm trying to get Veeky Forums. I never really had much of a family though, and I'm very ugly so I probably couldn't get one. Also I'm against having children on a moral stand point. You don't sound very secure with yourself though, seeing as how you feel the need to try and put me down. Maybe you should do some self searching too, maybe we can do it together. I really want a friend ;_;
