What if it really is all just a Clusterfvc|k? could you handle that reality?

..does this not all go back though to the thing that everyone will have their own 'meaning of life' and for some, there will be no meaning at all..for others, the meaning or what defines their life could be bad/evil..or it could be good stuff, wanting to be a better person..wanting to care for the people around you/close to you etc...just whatever meaning someone wants to give it and for whatever their reasons....I don't think that there is a one fits all meaning of life...
