Meaningful

I want to do something meaningful. But what is meaningful? Traditional history has deemed certain activities meaningful, and yet a meaningful existence implies an alteration to historical traditions. Is there a contradiction then that we inspire the youth to become meaningful and yet preach to them the doctrines of history in order to register with society? When is something meaningful? When it changes the course of history for a previously unforeseen benefit? Why then is anything meaningful – as it applies to positives only? World War 2 was not, by definition, meaningful – it was filled with death and destruction – and yet it was filled with positive outcomes from government unions to technologies to awareness. Does that make WW2 meaningful, not meaningful, or less-than-stellar-meaningful? Think of what you have as a result of WW2 at the cost of millions of lives. Nihilism is a bitch sometimes.
