It's ACTUALLY a GOOD thing if/that life is pointless and meaningless

 Consider the diversity of the human existence and the neurodiversity of the human mind. We all have vastly different experiences growing up, interacting with other people, and in our perspectives of the world. And the way we analyze the world, perceive it, and desire different things is different, from even the biological perspective. In other words, vastly different people want vastly different things out of life. Even if they don't have particular preferences, they will actively reject certain things, and those things are different too.

With that in mind, consider if there was a POINT to life, if there was something specific, something universal that gave it meaning. Say it's having a child, or being the noblest being ever, or whatever. And imagine that you didn't fully align with it, because you know, you were different, your mom moved a certain way when you were in her belly, or you saw something disturbing at a particularly formative point, and the neurons diverged to make you unlike most other people. It's not something wild or out of ordinary, after all as we discussed earlier, that happens all the time. And now imagine if your circumstances set your preferences such that you didn't fully align with the point or meaning of life.

Imagine what a pathetic, miserable life that would be, to be told that there is a meaning and point to living, but you didn't care for it at all, and had to lie about it all the time, telling people that ooh yeah you care for kids so much, and of course, you want to nobler than everybody else. Though you really reallly didn't.

Isn't it incredible we get to make our own choices, set our own expectations, and get what we want out of life, in our own terms? Sure the paradox of choice makes it seem like it'd be better if it were pre-set, if we didn't have to do our own soul searching and discovery, but even though the journey is harder this way, the destination -- which is not pre-set, and doesn't even need to be there -- is better for everybody. Nobody is tormented by the anti-existence nature of their being. They just are.

So if you're ever in the situation where you think 'what's the point, it's all pointless anyway', consider that it's a feature, not a bug, and that the entire thing works out because you can set the point, nobody sets it by diktat. Cool, yeah?
