Thank you for sharing your perspective as I appreciate learning about the ways others perceive the world around them.
I personally don’t strive for meaning and have found that to be a worthwhile path for myself. Trying to find meaning for me often led to exploitation by those who were merely selling their own ersatz version of it.
Once I abandoned the quest for hope, meaning, and purpose (which are pretty intangible concepts when you think about it), I actually found more joy in my life.
While I would always recommend going through the exercise of trying to see things from a different perspective, I must admit, this one is pretty tough to do. There is a lot of cultural programming around these concepts, probably because so many people make money and gain power/status via other people’s quest for them.
Thank you again for considering what I wrote and the genuine reply.
