A life that is worthwhile and enduring is not a life based on "happiness," self interest, and pleasure. A worthwhile life is one that is ironically, imperfectly focused on meaning in a meaningless universe. A worthwhile life encourages for oneself and "others" peace, contentment, and tranquility as a byproduct of determined, principled, thoughtful living. A worthwhile life ponders and acts upon deeply sincere ethics and morals. A worthwhile life eliminates unnecessary suffering. There's far too much unnecessary, arbitrary suffering in consciousness (the entropic universe experiencing itself across the entire dimension of time past, present, and future). A worthwhile life sustains an authentic standard of excellence, not perfection. All despite free will being an illusion. To live a worthwhile life is a privilege. Such a privilege is a call for sincere gratitude, patience, compassion, and empathy. With a profound humility.
