Life is ambiguous so we make sense of it with stories. Stories all have a point, life just is.

As Vonnegut wrote extensively in Slaughterhouse Five: “So it goes.”
I love stories and movies that are kind of just like "man a bunch of shit just happened, is there really a lesson? who knows" (like Burn After Reading for a comedic example).

There doesn't have to be a "point" for there to be beauty or something to learn from people and their lives and experiences, fictional or not.

Life just is.

Profound!
