Do you believe that the universe has meaning?
See, the thing is, when you look at things from a realistic point of view, life is very ambiguous. There is so much uncertainty in our universe. If there is a meaning to the universe, we humans will never know. We can't know. There is so much that we don't know. So, in a way, it's safe to say that the universe has no identifiable meaning.
Humans constantly try to find meaning in a seemingly meaningless life. They try to find a true meaning for why they are all living. I believe that there is no one true meaning. That there is what there is. There is nothing more and nothing less. A lot of people aren't okay with that.
There may not be one true meaning to the existence of human kind and the universe. But one thing for sure is that meaning varies from person to person. Every individual gives life their own meaning. It may not be the "true meaning", but it is still meaning. It is value. It keeps people going.
I believe that the reason why others believe in a higher power is because they can't accept the fact that this universe has no identifiable meaning. They believe that the higher power is what gives meaning to the universe. I feel like those people are simply avoiding the truth because it's painful.
Who knows, right? But if you stop focusing on the general meaning, and you focus instead on what meaning you decide to give to your own existence, things don't seem that bad.
