Throughout my life I've struggled to find meaning. I've wondered, am I alone in this? I'd like to hear what others have to say. Particularly others that are more knowledgeable in philosophy.

Suicide is the highest meaning possible then. No self, no problem!

It's seeing selflessness and our capacity for it from a more reasonable point of view, because it's reason and logic that serves as the basis of selflessness.

Without us, there is no potential for selflessness to the extent we can choose to even suffer for it; not to mention collectively, and the extent that could potentially benefit everything else in the process.
