I make a conscious effort to be honest. Even though this is a principle to which I aspire, I have been dishonest; I have lied both to myself and to others. Nonetheless, I have an awareness of honesty and intentionally strive to agree with it in spite of repeated failures. If I could be remembered for one thing, I would hope it should be for my honesty. The test of authentic honesty is Truth, inarguable, transcendent Truth. The aforementioned article articulates existential indifference and its effects, and I—to be honest—interpreted this in the context of what is happening now that so many find puzzling. Existential indifference ultimately negates any difference between right and wrong, good and evil. I personally find existence without meaning nearly incomprehensible, but freely admit that my worldview has been shaped by the affirmation that life is meaningful. The question of the meaning of life can be cliché or profound. The veracity of human volition is borne out through this inexorable choice. Now we only need to figure out what difference it makes.
