Dunno. It's a tough time for this one. The traditional things that gave peoples' lives meaning are dissolving pretty quickly: religion, national pride, ethnic/tribe pride, community groups, simple pride in work. Heck, even the value of friends is low (particularly as a dude who doesn't use social media): I have friends I consider good, but it's hard to get together and there isn't much to do anyways. And the slow but steady/obvious decline of society casts a further pall over everything.

I'd like to say that simply having a family does wonders, but if you can't really figure out what you're hoping for your kids...it's no panacea.

I've been to a counselor and told her I more or less had this issue. She said "good news, you aren't depressed (i.e. we can't drug you) you just have to find some things to enjoy." So I took up mountain biking. Now things are pointless but I mountain bike.
