Humanity & the meaning of life


The quest for the meaning of life is a pathetic figment of unhappy, weak egocentrics trying desperately to rationalize the chain of their lives' events in an attempt to retain their hopes for a brighter future and comfort themselves from their daily loneliness. Human weakness, which in this regard reflects the fear of a meaningless (lacking a comprehensible by man purpose-pattern) existence, subconsciously sustains a lifelong underlying lust for a forever simplified, sympathetic and anthropocentric definition of the universe. The big question isn't whether the universe cares about our daily routine or not - not, of course - but if at all, whether the laws that govern it correlate with our existence, affecting our reactions, our actions, even our entire chain of events in our life span (meaning fate, for instance, or even the planetary interaction with our electromagnetic bodies). I find the opinion stating that in the scale / measure of eternity man's actions would pass into invisibility, if not into nothingness, at the very least pessimistic and inaccurate. Creativity, for instance, at very high levels that becomes the reason for a discovery that offers something to mankind can symbolically immortalize a person. The quest for the meaning of life ultimately derives from the fear of death, man's subconscious sense of  his own vulnerability drives him to seek sensible existential patterns in life to compensate for his mortality. Whether by theoretically realizing and accepting the above can practically release a person from seeking the meaning of life in his daily life or not is i think directly dependent upon his/her idiosyncrasy or his/her current view / perspective.
