Such considerations once led Bertrand Russell to conclude that any
philosophy worth taking seriously would have to be built upon a "firm foundation
of unyielding despair" [2]. Does the finality of death make life meaningless?
Although many people feel that it does, a moment's reflection will show that
death is irrelevant to the question of the meaning of life: If human beings were
naturally immortal--that is, if there was no such thing as death--there would
still be a question about whether or not our lives had meaning. The underlying
assumption behind the claim that life is meaningless because it ends in death is
that for something to be meaningful or worthwhile it must last forever. The fact
that many of the things we value (such as relationships with others) and
activities that we find worthwhile (such as working on a political campaign or
raising a child) do not last forever shows that life does not need to be
everlasting to be meaningful. We can also show that everlasting life may not be
meaningful by providing examples of lives which last forever yet are
meaningless. In Greek mythology Sisyphus is punished by the gods for cheating
death by being forced to roll a heavy stone to the top of a hill. Just as the
stone is about to reach the top of the hill, it rolls back down to the plain.
Sisyphus is doomed to repeat this meaningless activity for eternity. The
duration of our lives has nothing to do with the meaningfulness of them. It is
ironic that so many people have missed this point given that Albert Camus' The
Myth of Sisyphus presents Sisyphus' eternal punishment as the archetype of
meaningless existence.
Death appears to render life meaningless for many people because they feel
that there is no point in developing character or increasing knowledge if our
progress is ultimately going to be thwarted by death. However, there is a point
in developing character and increasing knowledge before death overtakes us: to
provide peace of mind and intellectual satisfaction to our lives and to the
lives of those we care about for their own sake because pursuing these goals
enriches our lives. From the fact that death is inevitable it does not follow
that nothing we do matters now. On the contrary, our lives matter a great deal
to us. If they did not, we would not find the idea of our own death so
distressing--it wouldn't matter that our lives will come to an end. The fact
that we're all eventually going to die has no relevance to whether our
activities are worthwhile in the here and now: For an ill patient in a hospital
a doctor's efforts to alleviate pain certainly does matter despite the fact that
'in the end' both the doctor and the patient (and ultimately all life in the
universe) will be dead.
What is it about our lives that makes so many people feel that life is
ultimately meaningless? The fact that we all will eventually die is one reason
for this feeling, but it is not the only reason. The other main reason why many
people feel that life is ultimately meaningless is that, as far as science can
tell, there is no greater purpose for our lives. A scientific picture of the
world portrays the origin of human beings as "the outcome of accidental
collocations of atoms" [3]. Both individually and collectively, human beings
came into existence due to accidents of chance. As individuals our existence was
made possible by the reproductive success of our ancestors; as a species our
existence was predicated by chance mutations which happened to confer an
adaptive advantage to our evolutionary ancestors in the environments in which
they found themselves. Because we cannot discern any indications that we were
put on this Earth to fulfil a purpose given to us by an intelligent being, our
existence does not appear to be part of some greater plan. If the absence of a
higher purpose is what makes life ultimately meaningless, our lives would be
just as meaningless if they were eternal. Conversely, if being part of a higher
purpose gives our lives meaning, then our lives would be meaningful even if
death ended them forever.
Is it really the case, however, that the absence of a greater plan for our
lives renders life meaningless? Here too, a moment's reflection will show that a
lack of greater purpose in life is irrelevant to the meaning of our lives. How
would a greater purpose for our lives give meaning to our lives for us? Suppose,
for example, that we found out that millions of years ago extraterrestrials
genetically manipulated the hominid line in order to produce a species of
greater intelligence suited to their needs for slave labor and have not yet
returned to the Earth to enslave us. In such a case our existence would be part
of a greater plan and would confer meaning to our lives for the
extraterrestrials, but it would not give meaning to our lives for us. Our being
part of a divine plan can only confer meaning on our lives if we accept our role
in that plan as meaningful to us; but, as in the case of extraterrestrial
enslavement, what is meaningful to God may not be meaningful to human beings.
Furthermore, so long as we are ignorant of a greater plan for our lives--which
we certainly are--we cannot know what our role in such a plan is and thus it
cannot make life meaningful to us. Our activities are worthwhile for their own
sake, not because they fulfill some unknowable transcendental purpose.
These considerations show that we must create our own meaning for our lives
regardless of whether or not our lives serve some higher purpose. Whether our
lives are meaningful to us depends on how we judge them. The absence or presence
of greater purpose is as irrelevant as the finality of death. The claim that our
lives are 'ultimately' meaningless does not make sense because there is no sense
in which they could be meaningful or meaningless outside of how we regard them.
Questions about the meaning of life are questions about values. We attribute
values to things in life rather than discovering them. There can be no meaning
of life outside of the meaning we create for ourselves because the universe is
not a sentient being that can attribute values to things. Even if a sentient God
existed, the value that he would attribute to our lives would not be the same as
the value that we find in living and thus would be irrelevant.
What makes our lives meaningful is that we find the activities we engage in
to be worthwhile. Our determination to carry out projects we have created for
ourselves gives our lives meaning. We feel that life is meaningless when most of
our desires which we regard as important are frustrated. Whether we regard life
as meaningful or meaningless depends on the degree to which our important
desires are frustrated. The judgments that we make about our lives on these
points are the same regardless of whether one's life is eternal or not or
whether it is part of a greater purpose or not. Perhaps the secret to a
meaningful life is to focus on those desires which we can fulfill and diminish
those which we cannot--provided that we know the difference between the
two.
