If there is anything remotely close to answering the question of meaning and life it is that we must fill the vacuum of existence with compassion and connection while simultaneously and vigorously resisting the darkness.

"Antinous is dead, is dead for ever,
Is dead for ever and all loves lament.
Venus herself, that was Adonis' lover,
Seeing him, that newly lived, now dead again, Lends her old griefs renewal to be blent With Hadrian's pain"

Antinoo - Fernando Pessoa.
