>>12045886For something to have a point, it must have intent. Whether existence has meaning is contingent on the idea that existence has an intention - that is if existence was created with an intention in mind - or put differently, the idea of a God having made existence with a purpose. To say that existene is pointless is essentially a declaration of nihilistic atheism, an ideology I would argue is rather self-contradictory, as it describes meaning as being ultimate and final, that meaning is only derived from the end product. In religion this idea makes perfect sense as meaning is found in the afterlife, but without religion, the idea of ultimate meaning really causes unecessary depression. It is much better to shift your view from one whuch focuses on ultimate meaning to one that focues on contemporary meaning, meaning in the present. For something to matter it must be finite, rather than infinite. There is only one Mona Lisa, and the fact that there is only one is why it is valuable. Value is the result of scarcity. For without scarcity, without limits, then nothing has true value, and that's when it's truly pointless. I guess what I'm trying to say is... life is what you make of it, stop being such a doomer.
