> How do you deal with the fact that we don't know why anything at all exists? I'm occasionally troubled by this late at night (often after too much to drink). At some point you just have to accept "it is what it is" and move on to less troubling thoughts. > How do you deal with the fact that your life is meaningless. Meaningfulness is a feeling/emotion, probably unique to humans. I don't think my dog wakes up wondering what his purpose is for instance. As an emotion, it's easiest to feel like you are doing something meaningful by helping your fellow humans in some way. You will feel good about it, even if it ultimately doesn't matter during the heat death of the universe. > How do you deal with the likelihood that you will suffer greatly at some point in the future. I take solace in the fact that I live in state with a "death with dignity act" if the disease is terminal. Not that you couldn't take things into your own hands if need be.
