My worldview
involves the belief that there is no absolute objective meaning to
human existence that human beings will encounter and recognize as
such. My worldview also states that we should be hesitant about
creating meanings of life for ourselves because creating our own
summum bonum creates a model
of life that does not reflect the variety in both ourselves and the
world.
However,
I wonder if we might not conceive of an individual meaning of life
differently. Rather than a highest good to aspire to, or a best
activity to be engaged in, or the best character to model ourselves
after, what if we simply conceived of the meaning of life as being
whatever infuses our every act and every contemplation with a sense
of worthiness. That is, the meaning of life is whatever makes you say
'this is worth doing' whenever you reflect on the various games and
activities you happen to be a part of.
This
is something to perhaps contemplate further.
