think about it, time passes on no matter what we think, problems arise and are conquered (or at least learnt from), relationships come and go, life goes on. in the midst of this we're all trying to find meaning, some defining purpose. is the need for meaning illusionary? do we really need to know why we're here, what we're doing, for a happy, productive, mentally satisfying life? or is it not the meaning itself, but the process of questioning that is required? how much of it is meaningless? how much is needed? why have we convinced ourselves this notion is important at all? is anything significant going to happen if we don't know-- if we never know?

This is a class of error called Ad Hominium.
An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the man", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject.
