Avoiding doing things that essentially just help you dance around the thing that you actually want to do

Doing work within ourselves rather than doing it externally is instant, effortless, and totally under my control. “Whats the meaning of my life“ - we try to solve this problem in the outside world. With that we are doomed to fail. The outside world may not cooperate. “To avoid wasting life” again is something we try to solve outside. Those who are remembered across time, for example Socrates, stood for what they thought to be them and solved these problems within themselves. Socrates himself took the poison because he believed in law and order, even though it meant his death, it gave his life meaning because that standing by his beliefs is what gave himself meaning.
