[b][u]Life will be lived all the better if it has no meaning.[/u][/b]
[spoiler]Trying something new. If the thread succeeds, I'll keep doing these, that's why I put the "{1}" in the title. [i]Simple philosophical observations, and your responses to them[/i]. This particular statement was made by Albert Camus, who writes it in [i]The Myth of Sisyphus[/i], an essay about a king sentenced by the gods to the terrible fate off rolling a rock up a hill, only to watch it roll down, and repeat for eternity. Original quote:
[quote]It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It has now become clear, on the contrary, that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning.[/quote]
Also, this is not a religious thread. I do not wish it to be. Your religious answer, may you have one, is completely valid; however, this is a response thread and everyone has a different response. [b]None are more valid than another.[/b] Respect this, please. Same goes for those without religious answers. [/spoiler]

Ultimately, I could use the subjectivity copout and say that 'better' is different for each person. But, in my opinion and experience, at least, having an aim in life is a good thing. Even if it's something as vague as 'have a good time'. Or is something that vague what 'has no meaning' means here? I'm not doing this very well, am I?
