We lost the cultural appreciation for selflessness and duty. Caring for loved ones is hard work at times. Stressful. Maybe even thankless at times. But it's incredibly fulfilling. That meaning is often worth more than the fleeting feeling of happiness we primarily seek out in the modern world. Giving to others is important for our psyche. Not in the abstract, like donating to a far-away charity, but in helping someone in your life. Children are a timeless way to find meaning in life. Yes it's hard work, but damn do they put everything into perspective. If you don't want kids, volunteer. Meet your neighbours and see if you can help them somehow. Pick up trash in your community. Run for local office.

Anon seeks meaning in all the wrong places and in all the wrong ways.
