Was it possible to find recompense, meaning, connection with others amidst the mess and the muddle ?

It's all about hope, kindness and a connection with one another.

The meaning to life. Is to live.

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.

Everything happens for a reason. The daily tragedies and misfortunes are all meaningful events, leading toward an ideal conclusion. With that in mind, there probably isn’t really any meaningless misfortune.

No one really knows the meaning of life except God, but one thing we can always feel good about doing with ours is making other people happy.
