Finding Personal Meaning
21 - Evan analyzes the age old question, what is the meaning of life? Upon inner-analysis, one begins to realize that each individual person has to create their own meaning. Based on the vastness of the universe and limiting capacity of our problem solving, it can be easy to take a nihilist approach to life. However, doing so compromises finding individual meaning. Every person is meant to be self-actualized, and meaning comes from the journey of one's own creative passions.
