[quote=The-Shoveler]Finding meaning in your life is very important IMO.
Else you could be a very rich miserable SOB.
Family, hobbies ect.. can be meaningful but in general the idea is life is not for being happy, but for finding meaning and that may not be saving the world etc.. or even doing what others could not do in your place.
Anyway IMO.[/quote]
Well, I guess if I were to work for a defense contractor, I could say… the purpose of my life is to be a good engineer so that my company can build the most advanced ways of killing other people quickly and most efficiently, so of which doesn’t even require a human body from our side to execute this…
I’d think I’d rather say, no I work on things that people really don’t need to buy, but they do anyway because it’s a 1st world thing to do…And whatever money I get paid to do help make those useless things, I spend part of it on equally useless things made by some other company, so that on the weekends, I can have a good time….
