The Why Behind the Meaning of Life

It's something that can put a smile on your face and reassure you of your life and of those around you, believing that everything happens for a reason and that we are born to help one another. My why is more depressing. Life is horrible but we don't want it to be so. So we decided to delude ourselves with these thoughts that things happen for a reason, that we're not alone. Truth be told, on this earth, we are alone and we're horrible creatures. But we're creatures who have risen above and know true pain and love, things that we created and only we can understand. We find solace in one another and hope to find others like us so that our thoughts hold more truth to them. But if anything, things just happen because they do, no reason behind them. But at times, we're happy they do.
