Okay let me rephrase that.^CoSMic DoRiS^^ said:It's not. It's not worthless in terms of the people and events you impact. If you believe that our existence has meaning on a higher level than that, then yeah I suppose you would find it depressing to think that way, but my point is that the meaning you find in life is perfectly valid regardless of whether it's found in a higher being or a spiritual sense, or whether you find meaning on a "simpler" level.
Everyone attributes some kind of meaning to their life. I wouldn't believe anyone who said they didn't. It's just that depending on how you look at meaning and value, you could just as easily cherish your life because you have it and for no other reason, as you could cherish it because you think it has a deeper spiritual connection to God.
It comes down to definition, in the end, but I wouldn't say either view was invalid.
