This excess or deficient perspective is called elevated self-esteem or depressed

self-esteem, self-righteous, self-rauncious or inflated or deflated ego.

But whatever the names are, the synthesis of that is the authentic self.

John, what's the meaning of life?

Well, what we make out of it, each individual based on their needs and

needs and voids and their value structure is going to interpret their reality and

give the meaning that they perceive it to be.

So I don't know if there's a universal meaning other than the integration of all

pairs of opposites. That's about the only thing I could say.

The mean between us, Aristotle in his time said that there was an excessive

deficiency which were both vices and the mean was the mean between the two.

So any time we are excessive and going to pride or deficient, going to shame,

to extract meaning out of those experiences, we intuitively ask the question,

what are the downsides to when we're up and what are the upsides to when we're down

and bring ourselves back in the mean and we extract meaning out of our existence.

So, but I don't know if there's any universal meaning.

At Kemal said, you know, it's pointless to search for that, but it's wisdom

and looking inside yourself and find out how you perceive each experience is and what

meaning you can extract from it.

Why is it pointless to search for the meaning of life?

Well, for a universal meaning for every human being, I don't know.

We can speculate on it, but each person filters their reality according to what they value.
