Existence shares some characteristics with things we created to entertain ourselves.
It inherently has quiz-like properties. We try to figure out what all this is about. This question of meaning colors our existence in the world.
Some other times, it feels like a game. Everything is made for our satisfaction and we pursue that satisfaction, with effort, to find our purpose and happiness in life.
Some other times, we feel like we have zero or very little choice in what we are and what we can do. Based on that, existence feels like an effortless movie.
