I have been frustrated on many occasions by the way I've chosen to live my life according to faith and principles. Going off the beaten path and trying to see others as important as myself has put me at a disadvantage at times. But one thing I will never suffer from is a lack of meaning. I just got a regular old office assistant job and I'm super thrilled about it. I find an abundance of meaning in taking pride in my work, accumulating good karma, romance, subversive art work, etc. And when I hear about the nihilstic views of others I'm glad to have this, what others might call naivete.
The point I'm trying to make here is that, often there are those who have all the material success, but end up not seeing any point in it. For example my brother is a successful doctor but he is afraid of death and appears to have no underlying belief system other than materialism. And then there are those who find meaning in life but struggle to be successful. It's funny how it works out like that.
