This is a very well written and well thought article. I am a new member and considered becoming a paid subscriber but have not. …yet.. I am still digesting the extraordinary wisdom of your article, but even though I am not paying you, I must say you have my attention.
I am trying I to incorporate what I understand of your thoughts with my own thinking. It could be that the only difference we have is our view through our respective lenses of the same goal. For me, meaning and purpose are not things that are given to us or that we find. They are things that we make.
Thanks, David. Good observation about meaning being something we make. I agree. I also view meaning as involving agency, that finding meaning requires us not just to discover opportunities to make a difference, but also to act on those opportunities.
