Are you revealing to us an absolute truth? Am I nitpicking if I ask
you to define 'meaning' and 'effect'? I cannot agree with your
statement unless you mean 'effect' in a very broad sense such that it
is *impossible* to live without having an effect on the world, albeit
incidental. Why can we not derive our own meaning for our own life
without reference to the world and without leaving our mark on the
pages of history? Isn't there some intersection here with Richards
mind-levels? How many more questions can I fit into a single
paragraph? Oh...one. ;)
