    Life is about luck, if u r unlucky, u r meaningless.
    Like Schumacher, he is unlucky now, he is meaningless.

    Personal meaning certainly exists. I'm not sure why people need the all of everything to mean something, we have a whole planet. You can find your meaning anywhere or nowhere, it just depends on your personality.

    I think the first step is not to demand perfection.
    You have to take it easy with imperfection that occurs in your life.

    Something that is perfect is complete. You cannot have perfection without completion.

    I would say search for perfection and she is there.

    Love the world around you. Do things. Make a few friends.

    Meaning is infinite: EVERYTHING means something different to each and every person, I believe the difficulty is communicating that meaning between people.

    If you have a happy family, your career is good with high salary,
    but suddenly an accident kills all your family members except you,
    and your company retrenched you because of bad economy,
    when these things happen suddenly and took away the good things from you,
    what will you feel?
    Mostly you will say Life is Cruel, of course, meaningless.

    Is that your perfect, justified, nihilistic tragedy?

    "As the day-to-day things that offer people a sense of meaning - work, family, and the small pleasures of life - were taken from a prisoner, his future would seem to disappear. Man, says Viktor Frankl, "can only live by looking to the future. The prisoner who had lost faith in the future -- his future -- was doomed."

    You could either give up or do what brainless bacteria do.

    Molecular logic:

    If things are going good, keep going straight. If things get bad, tumble randomly for a bit, then try another direction.
