I don’t know if doubt about the meaning of life is the best situation we can find ourselves in. But I think life consists of doubt, nothing is certain, so we are in this situation. Yet this can be liveable because there is hope. Freedom is also an important offshoot of doubt and this can provide satisfaction with the activities and goals that you have chosen yourself.
Although I certainly do not want to deny that freedom is relative in our society. We can choose what we do, but within the lines of the world that society has created for us. So I think it is only logical that people are sometimes disappointed. They cannot do what they want and are encouraged to live as the values and norms of our society indicate. Withdraw yourself from this is a possibility, but it is difficult and you will have to give up certain things as an individual. Meaninglessness and dissatisfaction can arise quickly.
We are told that we have to live this way and not differently and at the same time we also realize that we cannot understand life, so nothing is certain. And yet it is certain that I must have a family and be successful and happy. The epitome of absurdity in other words.
I think that each individual must decide for him- or herself what his / her life makes meaningful and what he / she likes to do. Society must also grant its people this freedom. In this way we put an end to the undesirable reality in which people are being pushed in fixed directions and we point to the subjectivity of what is ‘successful and good’. People then can choose freely and create their own values and goals. Only when people can choose this by themselves, they really perceive the meaning of their activities. In this way, a form of meaning is created, not an all-embracing and universal meaning, but our personal meaning with unique creations and satisfaction as a result.
