But it is your lament, after all. To someone who finds a good deal in this life to make it alone worthwhile, your lament will not be an apposite and felicitous counterpart to their experience. How can that be? Well, it happens all the time when one confuses how things are with how one feels about how things are. This is not to say that what someone else thinks is true and what you think is false; it is to say that you both are merely stating what is "true for you". Unfortunately, what is "true for you" is not the same thing as what is "true in fact". So what is "true in fact"? In this case, I'm afraid the answer is imponderable. Not only that, what would count in support for either case is itself imponderable. That in what you find no solace another takes delight is exactly the problem here. Put another way, the problem isn't in finding an answer to the meaning of life; it is in finding an answer to the meaning of life for you. Big difference. And my only point is that you consider that difference when you attempt to look from without for an answer.
