A Love Letter to Mostar

Meaning What is the meaning of life? There’s as many answers as there are people. We all think about it. About meaning. What is the meaning of life? Why am I here? Do you know? Can you know? Do we even have meaning? Maybe not. Maybe we are born without a purpose. Maybe we aren't given meaning, by God, or anyone. But why would that be bad? Why is meaninglessness bad? In my opinion, it is better. Do you think we would be better if we had meaning? Look at Sisyphus. He has meaning. He rolls a boulder up a hill until it falls back down, and then he does it again and again. Is he happy? He has meaning, so he should be, right? Is that what we want? No. We make our own meaning, through art, through work, through faith, through family. And we are happier that way.
