The Myth of Meaningfulness

The Myth of Meaningfulness suggests that life's purpose or significance is inherently fixed or universally meaningful. In reality, meaning is subjective and constructed by individuals through their choices, values, and experiences. It’s not something pre-existing to be discovered, but something we create or interpret over time. Recognizing this helps us understand that meaning is flexible and personal, rather than a single, objective truth. This perspective encourages people to actively shape their own sense of purpose, rather than searching for an external or absolute meaning that may not exist.
