Life is utterly meaningless aprart from whatever purpose we humans can ascribe to it. Meaning is as subjective of a concept as beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
