Woody's Depression

The Daily Mail (U.K.) quotes Director Woody Allen at the Cannes Film Festival, introducing his latest film Irrational Man.
No matter how much the philosophers talk to you or the priests or the psychiatrists, the bottom line ... is life has its own agenda and it runs right over you while you’re prattling. We’re all going to wind up in a very bad position some day. The same position, but a bad one.

Because in the end it has no meaning. We live in a random universe and you’re living a meaningless life and everything you create in your life or do is going to vanish and the earth will vanish and the universe will be gone.
Well ... yeah, but so what? Either we discover the will to become a star-faring species to colonize the galaxy, or we deserve to disappear and it's no great loss. Meanwhile, enjoy today and keep some powder dry for tomorrow in case it arrives.
