We can't. Its pointless.

Can you give a definition of "pointless" without reference to the imaginary wants of a God, or our parents?
Is this not Freedom? Where what is and isn't pointless is entirely our own call.
Finally we can
stop to pet the squirrels, without guilt.
I have no imaginary wants of any God, but I do of parents. I'm just a little depressed and having a bad time breaking out of it thats all...
My life (and yours) has meaning and purpose but only at a local level. We are loved and love in return so it has meaning. Teaching someone CPR gives you purpose, but in the grand scheme of things there is no purpose or meaning and I just find it amusing that their are people who can't see beyond this Earth and to them its still the center of the universe where God, Jesus, origins, the bible, and everything else you can imagine is centered here.
That star system I mentioned is an example. There may be millions upon millions of them with oceans and beautiful sunsets, birds, etc, but the species that would have appreciated its beauty either never appeared, were killed off by the animals, or never had time to develop before the star went into its end of life expansion. Since it was born, lived, and died, and you can never get to it, what was its purpose or meaning? How can a God put something like that out there for no one to see?
The only obvious one is that those star systems are no different than this one and are merely products of a random event and that star system is as pointless as this one.
However, like I said, your life and mine may not have distant purposes, but we still like going to the mall and buying more jeans.
