Ever since my classmate in sixth grade threatened to kill himself before final exams, if we didn't tell him the meaning of life, I was convinced that there was no meaning at all, just a fluke, or a statistical improbability, depending on the number of planets per galaxy actually sustain life.
Now however, now that Scottie puts it in the way that he does, I'm beginning to doubt this. Especially the part about the ideals. What he says, isn't that an ideal in itself?

Maybe that's the way it is. Maybe the whole concept of
meaning & its capture is a very great waste of effort.
Maybe the point of life is simply the living of it - as intensely,
as immediately, as unbefuddled by ideals (or ideas)
as may be.
There you go. That's it.
