Which, of course, reveals the fragility of the statement "the purpose of life is
to live". Namely, its doomed to failure. Our fundamental "purpose" is one we
can ultimately never achieve. How sad.

Our choice is "meaningless" or "futility"? Like I said, "purpose" is just an

rewritten as simply "we exist".
"We exist". Okay. And now what? That's more important, I think.
