I strongly agree that giving meaning to your life on your own is very important, the fundamental source of being happy.

But I want to ask the extended question: is everybody able to love themselves and give their life meaning independently through different stages of life? (please notice the type and intensity of social support that we recieve vary at different ages) I regard it as a sociological question because my basic perspective of the whole human society is that we live as a particle in society, and I do not have a specific answer yet.

The analogy is sooooo inspiring, but it is only one kind of demonstration modes. It is. If it has such a great social impact, I think what we should do is to be more cautious rather then more intoxicated.
