20 Mar meaningful

Face it – everything is meaningful! There are contexts in which a thing that is normally very meaningful may lose its importance. Meaningfulness is a measure of interest and relevance that we apply to the thing being considered. In any given context, almost everything in the universe is meaningless. Context draws small circles around that which is relevant, thereby excluding everything else. With context, we have a useful tool for focusing our attention on that which counts.
