While I personally believe every word of what I have written here, it is not inconceivable that other people may disagree or view these topics differently. My interpretation of the world around me is this, but others may find entirely different meaning from the very same things.

If life is what we make of it, then there's no good reason why humans should task ourselves with mundane work which does not require the human condition to express or develop (looking at you, desk jobs)

For as long as humans have existed, we've sought meaning in the world which has often tried to justify or explain life as it is in a way which is truly irrational, but not entirely unbelievable

"I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference."

Though not Frost's intended meaning, the decisions the narrator is required to make are their own responsibility and have a real impact on their journey along their own road. These choices seem inconsequential, but very well might put you on a completely different path.

"Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh"

"A year has passed since I wrote my note
I should have known this right from the start"

The narrator has come to the conclusion that we may be completely cut off from the universe. Even trying to reach out, find their place in the universe, they come up empty.

"Seems I’m not alone at being alone"

The narrator also finds togetherness in our collective solitude. We're all alone, but together

"There is no god and we are his prophets" (McCarthy 170).
The horrific actions of many of the people left stands as a testament to the fact that there is rational god pulling the strings. If there were, it would be inconceivable that they should allow such things to happen among their people.
"Where men can't live gods fare no better" (172).

The universe and the environment around us does not inherently possess any meaning or have any reason, but we assign reason to the decisions we make nonetheless. We may ultimately be alone in the universe.

People have the freedom of choice, which inherently requires them to take full personal responsibility for their actions. There is no omnipotent being guiding us or watching over us.

People are not created with any specific kind of meaning to their existence. As we grow, we are to determine such meaning for ourselves.
