    Because thinking that we are here for no specific reason is scary

      It’s not an “either/or” situation. I don’t think we’re in a simulation, but that doesn’t mean we’re here for hi specific reason. We’re obviously here to live, and to help each other out of the darkness of ignorance and into the light of understanding while they live. That’s literally our purpose, and so much of what we do is geared toward that. I guess people are looking for something deeper, but that seems plenty deep to me! If you’re not actively trying to help the people around you, you’re going to feel empty, like your life has no meaning. Unless you’re a sociopath, which is definitely a thing. But most of us are not. Most of us just want to feel like we’re doing our part, so we should keep that in mind.
