The world is a vast meaningless cruel existence that cares nothing about your accomplishments, trials, laments and accomplishments. The important thing is to set an endless string of arbitrary goals to distract yourself until you die.

That’s a great summary of what life is about in the first world. If you think that’s depressing, you’re taking it to literally.

I mostly agree, but we really have no way of telling if its meaningless or not.
