Beautifully Pointless

Unless we escape our solar system before the sun dies - beautifully, no doubt - our existence as humans will amount to little more than a moment. Sobering physics renders life pointless. Paradoxically, that’s the point. With no predetermined meaning, a life must be built around the only thing that can stand on its own: beauty. Life is about finding and creating beautiful moments - not as rewards, but as substance. String enough together and you live a beautifully worthwhile life, however pointless. If it’s all pointless… why not make it beautiful?

Will Glendinning
