There is a (or some) meaning to everything, we are told. And we think this is "good liberal arts tradition". In other ways, we might think that a Western mind has to find meaning in everything to get happy or at least to find something (special or relevant) in everything we encounter. But this might exactly be the wrong way to grasp what life is. "Life is endlessly fascinating, even if it is all about nothing." (Marty Rubin)
