The Biggest Obstacle in Your Way to Meaning in Life

The main character in one of Camus' final books called The Fall is a great example of what not to do as someone creating a system of meaning. In other words, you can have the greatest plan in the world, right? You can come up with a dynamic, pluralistic value system that represents exactly who you want to be and you can be religiously committed to carrying it out. But if at the end of that process you're just kidding yourself, the biggest obstacle to their being lasting meaning in your life could actually be you.
