This condition exists throughout the world, people are always seeking a way to free themselves from their narrowness and pettiness; gathering experience, accepting, rejecting, accepting again and rejecting again. Their are many conflicting paths and beliefs and man is lost in those. That is why you should guide yourself without depending upon any authority, not by comparing, not by discrimination, but by choice, with freedom, and that will set you free.
Meaning will not be given to you; you need to create it.
When our individual interests and prospects do not seem worth living for, we are in desperate need for something apart from us to live for. All forms of dedication, devotion, loyalty and self-surrender are in essence a desperate clinging to something which might give worth and meaning to our futile, spoiled lives . Basic human problems can have no final solutions, that our freedom, justice, equality, etc. are far from absolute, and that the good life is compounded of half measures, compromises, lesser evils, and gropings toward the perfect. The rejection of approximations and the insistence on absolutes are the manifestation of a nihilism that loathes freedom, tolerance, and equity.- Eric Hoffer
