https://www.quora.com/How-can-an-atheist-bear-the-purposelessness-of-existence Here is the question: How can an atheist bear the purposelessness of existence? If you are convinced that there exists nothing beyond matter that would produce meaning in the absolute sense of the word, how can you bear the mere thought of having been thrown out as just an overdeveloped animal into this bloodcurdlingly random material world filled with suffering? Here is the answer: I’m not sure about atheists exactly but I for one have looked at “ this bloodcurdlingly random material world filled with suffering” and decided that I should help people. Does that not negate your “Purposelessness of existence”? You see, I serve a higher power than your God, I serve humanity. Live, Love and stay WILD my friends
