does the pointlessness of your life bother you?

The point of my life is to be as happy as possible. Sometimes I get this satisfaction out of making a lot of money, sometimes I get it from helping others, sometimes I get it from companionship, sometimes I get it from pursuing hobbies. What do you even mean by "pointless?" Do you mean that there is no pre-determined point of our life? No clear way of defining success? No common goal which we all attempt to accomplish? No way to significantly impact the world in the future as an individual?

I don't sit and figure out what I should be doing with my life, or how I should be contributing more to sicety or something. Does this mean my life is pointless? Maybe we're just cogs in a machine or insects going through the motions, but who cares? Life is awesome and sitting around worrying about what the "point" to it is, well, pointless. Mortality is worth being depressed about, life certainly isn't.
