Sometimes I wonder whether it is scarier to think that nothing in the world has greater meaning, or that everything in the world has greater meaning. In other words, is a universe that has no plan scarier than one that has a plan?
I think that the distinction is between whether meaning is entirely subjective or not. Is it possible that something can mean something that isn't entirely structured by culture?
Yes, I do like to think that something can mean in a way that is not dictated by culture... but it's difficult for an individual to think outside cultural bounds.
