A brief essay in The New Yorker, that shines a light on history, character, integrity and meaning. In this strange moment, we are offered many opportunities to make meaning.

I've often said that the best way to make meaning in your life is through service to others. Another great way to make meaning is by adhering to one's principles, assuming you have any.

Something they each have in common is action. Life is meaningless.

We bring meaning to life.

Action.

What guides it? Internal principles, or external pressures? Radical acceptance, or denial?

"The way of the warrior is to say, 'Yes!' to it all."

This is the moment. This is your choice.

You are who you choose to be.
