i will say tho, you cant browbeat people for finding meaning in pursuing success and valuable things. because life is intrinsically pointless, the only purpose of life is to extend the living potential of our species...staying alive and setting up a better life for our kids and their kids. success ties straight into that. and dont try to tell me that the meek will inherit the earth. cause aside from alien intervention (lol) and a mass catastrophic event, the meek will be weeded out through natural selection

Each person has a mandate of heaven, a destiny so to speak. If the human condition was simply to propogate our species, then we would have a self destructive mechanism as soon as we did, as other beings in this world do, mainly animals. The very fact that we can debate if there is a meaning in life, shows that implanted in us is this fundamental question if there is meaning or not. Thus the question of meaning is already subjugated on the precipice of the inherent knowingness to find meaning in our lives. That is why we question it. Even when we lose faith in ourselves, and the importance of our lives calling it pointless, there is something still that even wants to partake in this discussions, maybe perhaps for fun, to waste time. But perhaps because one will come out with that which they've been yearning for so long to be answered. The answers of course comes from you. Though another may have sparked the question. Though in truth, the other person is really you.
Everyone has their purpose, a destiny, a curriculum dictated by genetics, by fate, as well as one's yearning to find completion. Success is good, everyone needs to be fed, and warm, and so on. But failure is good too. It serves as a lesson of why we're embodied here in the first place, so we can through introspection begin to unravel the conditional tangles we've projected ourselves into. As for the meek, meekly as I am, I do know that nothing gets destroyed, its simply transformed, and moves in a flux that appears to wane, and be reborn. One can look to nature, which is an extension of you, for this process.
