Document Summary
Its our nature to struggle & not give up. Tend not to reach adulthood and have no children. We have relatively comfortable lives and suicidal thought are pathetic. Never underestimate human sex drive evolutionary past; sex drive offspring pass on genes. High sex drive = more reproduction ; low sex drive = less reproduction. Our lives are oasic compared to vast majority & history. Wanting only income, prestige and high self-esteem makes us shallow. We have luxury to stop and reflect on our lives (in contrast our ancestors did not) Keke says people miss big picture by looking at details. Says adolescence is goaded and guided huge peer pressure. No meaning exists; just because we search for it doesn"t mean there is one (aka just because you ask question doesn"t mean there is going to be an answer you like); We may be mistaken to think our projects have meaning.
