Quote:You can enjoy a great story besides the fact it's nothing but fantasy. It can add meaning to your life despite its unreality.How exactly does it add meaning to one's life if it is meaningless by nature?
Quote:As with meaning itself, who cares if it is all an illusion and imaginary if it's harmless and we recognize it as such?Because it is not harmless at all to think of oneself as meaningless. Nor is it harmless to think of oneself as meaningful. Our own sense of meaning defines who we are, and affects how we impact the world. Imagine that someone, somewhere out there is meant to make a huge difference in the world by doing something incredible.
But they don't believe in any true meaning. They wont seek their own self-meaning and may miss the chance to make the impact they were supposed to. Sure, they may stumble across it by accident; but will they then be prepared for what they are meant to do?
