You ask: “What purpose is there in life?”
What if I were to say, there is no purpose beyond what you give it? Could you live with that, or would you seek out an external purpose from somewhere else?
Could you push yourself to your limit out of an INTERNALLY created purpose, rather than an EXTERNALLY given purpose?
You ask: “What direction should I go to make me happy?”
What if I were to say, there is no direction towards happiness. It is a place you choose to be.
Could you still give yourself direction out of an internal purpose, while staying happy NO MATTER WHAT; or would you pretend you were unhappy and could only be happy if you achieved some tangible goal? Could you nurture an insatiable hunger while still feeling satisfied? Or would you start sliding into despair, realizing everything you had that gave you “happiness” were just synthetic sources of it?
How do you conquer the eternal human paradox – that we are dissatisfied with what we have, but only because of that do we always strive for more; only because of that are we capable of things beyond measure?
By EMBODYING the paradox – by both BEING satisfied, AND dissatisfied simultaneously. By always wanting infinitely more, but always being capable of being happy with infinitely less.
