I never said there is no meaning to life. I said humans aren't "meant" to do anything.
There's tons of meaning to life. You just get to choose what it is. There is no single unified thing you're naturally "designed" to do. If your goal in life is to fold a million paper planes and throw them all off a cliff then go nuts. If it is 2.1 kids then go nuts, too.
Hey, I'm glad you got the help you needed. That's good. That's meaningful. That meant something. To you, almost certainly to the people in your life that care about you. Very likely to the people who helped you. Helping others IS a very popular meaning people get from life.
That's the stuff that's worth caring about, in my book. Couldn't be further from nihilism.
Got a bit intense in the "maybe people should take more time off" thread, but hey. It's true.
