Not too long a read. I'm curious what other people get from it. I don't know if it's profound or "basic"

Yep I'd agree. Part of what I also get from it is that you just have to decide on how important "meaning" really is to you.

And indeed, that IS the question: whether to float with the tide, or to swim for a goal. It is a choice we must all make consciously or unconsciously at one time in our lives. So few people understand this! Think of any decision youve ever made which had a bearing on your future: I may be wrong, but I dont see how it could have been anything but a choice however indirect between the two things Ive mentioned: the floating or the swimming.

But why not float if you have no goal?

I'd say the issue is that most people don't know what they want
