Meaning will never be attained, because it doesn’t exist. But respect, care, delight, space, a phone call with a loved one, an action to help another person are available right now. They don’t offer a mystical reward, one that will involve you giving over your body or mind, buying into a devil’s bargain. They only ask that you stop obsessing over what might be, and allow time to experience the euphoria of what already is.
