The Myth of Meaning
Life, at its core, is a tapestry woven with experiences both profound and mundane. Yet, embedded within this fabric is an enduring yearning: the pursuit of meaning. We seek to understand our place in the cosmic order, to find purpose in the chaos. But what if this drive for meaning is amyth? What if life, fundamentally, lacks an intrinsic purpose?
This isn't to say that life is devoid of value. Rather, it suggests that the meaning we crave is not inherent but forged through our own engagements.
We are authors of our own narratives, shaping the meaning of our lives through the connections we cultivate, the adversities we overcome, and the legacy we leave behind.
