I don’t know where you got the “and nothing else” from. I simply mean that I need no outside authority or force to give meaning to my life. If I were alone on a desert Island my life would still have meaning. There would still be things for me to achieve and to learn. I would still have a purpose.
You make my point exactly. Note that your first impulse to defend your position is a solo one -- "alone on a desert island."
So, apparently, there's no social or ethical purpose to your life, eh?
Your self-contained "purpose" resides ONLY within you...and fits best "alone on an desert island."
Now that is truly sad.
Right!
To get back home someday and deliver that package!
