Purpose and Meaning
[image]
Something that has always baffled me is the need that most people have for their life to "mean something". Apparently, one cannot be happy or fulfilled unless one's life has a "purpose" to it, but I have no idea why that should be the case.
My life doesn't mean anything at all, and I'm perfectly happy about that. We're born, we live, and then we die, and that's it. There's no "afterlife", reincarnation isn't real, and we won't be judged by "God" (whatever that is), so why would anyone waste their time trying to find out "what it's all about"? Life isn't about anything. Isn't that obvious?
