RE: Why does it feel like nothing is fun anymore?

in Reflections4 days ago

Note: A brief reason, two days ago we (Muslims) had Eid-ul-Adha, when most Muslims sacrifice animals to fulfill religious obligations. The real problem is that for the past 3–4 years, I haven’t felt any excitement or enthusiasm; the festival feels more boring than a normal day.

Obligations are rarely fun, nor are traditions. Perhaps the lack of fun is unconsciously realizing the irrelevance of these kinds of festivities to a paradigm that just doesn't align with your reality anymore. People want to hold onto traditions, rather than find new ways that can better meet our changing needs.

I think that the more we consume, the less we create. and when we don't create, we are not inspired. An uninspired life is not fun. Inspiration comes from a spark within.

This is genuinely a refreshing response. I never thought about it this way, your perspective gave me a whole new pov. Like, it's not always about the tradition itself losing meaning, perhaps it's us evolving in how we connect to meaning and joy.
What struck me most is the idea that when we don't create, we lose inspiration. Maybe the answerr is not to relive the same moment again and again, but in shaping new expressions of celebration that resonate well with our present self.
Thank you for such an insightful reflection.
