No offense, but how many years have you lived in this world? Have you seen it? Have you never cared yet? If not, what is your problem? How about you actually go

No offense, but how many years have you lived in this world? Have you seen it? Have you never cared yet? If not, what is your problem? How about you actually go and when you read a piece of news or see a problem out in this world, you CARE. For one second in your life, you actually dont just look at yourself and do everything for your own higher happiness and well being and you actually try to help somebody else or fix a serious problem or stop some evil that is going on out there. We live in a messed up world of wars and pain and suffering of immense proportions. And yet you come here and ask like a child: "ohh gee, I wanna have a purpose because I'll be even more happy than I already am, I heard it gives me an even bigger high!" I'm paraphrasing. It's almost offensive honestly. Not almost, it is offensive.

Is it offensive to want to be happy / happier without first solving someone else's problems? What's the appropriate amount of happiness to feel before it should turn to guilt?

This is a really bad take. Adopting a random pet cause from the news, on an issue that is completely outside one’s sphere of influence, is a recipe for becoming angry and bitter, or idiotically throwing soup on paintings.

  Well I agree with you on one thing, I certainly asked myself whether it even makes sense to even attempt to reason with someone who has lived his entire life with no purpose and no God and apparently no morality that would compell him to care about something other than himself. That's a dangerous individual to me, to me, it's crazy. It's like attempting to tell a politician to please stop only stealing for yourself and actually do something useful and fix something. It's expecting a total change in character and morality from someone. Then add to that the danger that they pick an absolutely terrible, misguided shallow purpose prepared by politicans and their propaganda. My advice is to look into the bible and attempt to find God. Only that can revert your character in a way necessary that would help avoid the problems.

    So your advice is their purpose is to find god. Just say that instead of some rant about being offended next time, mkay? Saying as someone with no purpose and no God and apparently no morality.
