Finding Meaning

Chapter 2

"So, there's no point to anything, it seems. Why, were you just bored?" Hadasaphorus asked.

"I must go and attend to my other Universes. Have fun, my children."

"Why then, exactly...wait, there are other Universes? Do the other Universes have a significant purpose?"

"What'd your brother—" Hadasaphorus started before interrupting himself. "That is, if you care to share. What does he do?"

"What would have, only minutes ago, been considered throwing his life away. He's in California probably stoned as a bitch right now. He never went to school, never pursued a dream nor picked up a job. He just lives off the land and his limited morals. I wonder if we have free will. Let's ask God." The Interviewer, having learned of the ability to speak to God, suggested.
