But what does that mean for ultimate meaning, justice and hope? Or as an atheist, those are non-existent or purely subjective. Meaning found in what you deem meaningul, justice may not be delivered if you are wronged and nothing to put hope in?
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
