How you think of meaning Exposes your belief’s and life’s Fragility

Meaning derived from secular beliefs leads to a fragile existence, as individuals attempt to create their own purpose within the material world. This self-reliance on personal achievements or relationships renders one vulnerable to suffering, where the loss of a job or loved ones can lead to a complete unraveling of identity and meaning. Unlike belief systems that offer transcendent sources of meaning, secular perspectives leave individuals ill-equipped to cope with life's inevitable hardships. When external circumstances challenge this self-constructed meaning, the outcome can be existentially devastating. Hence, a more resilient approach to meaning must be anchored in beliefs that transcend earthly experiences, allowing individuals to withstand suffering and maintain a sense of purpose amid life's challenges.
