But almost everyone does apply meaning, and are deeply affected by their family's actions/circumstances.

So to me it's important to examine life and what's important to you. This creates pain and sacrifice but allows your life to be full and meaningful.

It's entirely your choice though.
Exactly... my choice. At my point in life I have rationalized death with my genetics being passed on. I can worry about life fufillment in other ways (like examining what is important to you.

Honestly, if we were all so inclined to seek self-fufillment all the time, we would not be on this message board arguing about driving methods every day.
