I have to admit, at 40 a raison dêtre is still escaping from my grasp, even with family, work and hobbies.

Not sure if I'm going to find one for my whole life but whatever.

Is there way to help others in your life? Either by volunteering or via your hobbies? Selflessness is very cathartic in my experience.

You have a point. I'm actually thinking about it. Helping other people is probably the only thing that made me happy throughout life. Unlike others such as gaming that only keep me happy when I was younger.

For sure .. I've also found it helps if your hobbies involve others aren't solitary .. Even playing a MMO or FPS online is quite different than being in a board game group or kayak club .. Good luck!!!
