A Purposeless Driven Life

If man’s highest moral purpose is his own happiness,
Realizing that this is not attainable, why should he continue?
Objectivism talks about ‘a meaningful life.’
But what does this mean?
1. Physiological Functioning
2. Conceptual Consciousness
3. Freedom
a. Physically unable to carry out plans
b. Ability to act on judgments
4. Timing- ending it while still have ability to do so
exemplifies Conceptual Consciousness and Freedom,
is this a Paradox?
There is the idea of sub-Human existence. I have often described my life as such.

  1. Imagine a life where one is married to an intelligent, creative, beautiful woman.

    Wouldn't this be enough?

    Think of the case of Schwarzeneger/Shriver.
