Many atheists might proudly proclaim that our lives have no ultimate meaning, yet the business of finding significance in one's life is perhaps the most important part of being human. When we drift into a life without meaning, we soon become a pack of symptoms and pathologies; and without any feeling of significance, many choose to end their lives altogether. Derren Brown
About This Quote

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, made this statement when he was talking about the meaning of life. Without any meaning in life, we shall drift into a situation where we will not be able to stand against such issues like depression and suicidal thoughts. We will be like a dead body without any energy and feeling.
