Life has no meaning

"Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them."

Paul Gauguin

This is not necessarily a profound statement but it is an important one to take to heart. Life has no meaning if we merely go through the motions of waking, eating, and sleeping. I've been there.
