“We find a great deal of despair in a preclear over the fact that (occasionally we find this) it’s all pointless, you know, life is really pointless. All he needs to do is have some purposes invented, but he will tell you this, ‘Life is pointless.’
“Well, he’s telling you that somebody should come along and hand him a game all tailor-made, done up properly, delivered across the counter of the toy store with no difficulties for himself.
“Life becomes pointless when an individual loses his ability or lays aside his ability to think up purposes. And that’s about all there is to it. Then life of course is pointless, because purposes are part of games theory.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
