does the pointlessness of your life bother you?
when some people get depressed, they comment on how random and pointless the world is and cite it as a reason for their unhappiness, however I feel that this is never the case. I think that in reality it is something else that is bothering them, and that they project this out by calling the world meaningless.
Lets say they are a poker player and they go on a downswing. Now the world sucks and is pointless.
If they go on an upswing, the world is just as pointless, yet now they are happy.
I honestly believe that our wiring makes us incapable of caring about the pointlessness of our existance.
