Dear Amigo,
This is the first letter of many, from me to you. So welcome!
Jordan Peterson once said, “I think people are more afraid of meaningfulness than they are of meaningless.” How could such a thing be true?
It’s because of the responsibility that comes along with meaningfulness. When you have meaning in your life, you also have responsibilities to attend to. You can no longer float along without anyone expecting something of you.
There is a certain comfort in meaninglessness because it disavows you of any responsibility in life. And yet i think most people would agree that the hassles of responsibility are worth the incomparable value of having a meaningful life, a life with purpose.
So why not, now, at the start of 2023, decide to live your life with purpose? Why not embrace meaningfulness?
Until tomorrow,
And stay crispy, my friend.
