I think Rustin Cohle saw part of the truth, but colored it with his grief and pessimism. Life cannot be analyzed objectively, because no one can see and examine all of it. What we can do is choose, either consciously or unconsciously, to be happy or sad, to have meaning or not have it, to live with enthusiasm or to live in despair.
That's not on life, but on us:)
My thoughts exactly. Life can only be analyzed subjectively as a phenomenon but we are bound to think objectively because of our emotions. It all goes down to personal choice at a certain point.
