The meaning of life is completely unambiguous when you have a toothache so if you have angst maybe the solution is to always have a toothache π€

A "chip on the shoulder" is like having a "life toothache"
People who have that never worry about meaning
The trick is to add salsa to that chip

My teeth hurt and I don't care
The ache inside reminds my mind my body's really there
That's why my teeth hurt, but I don't complain
When pleasure lets you down, you learn to lean into the pain

Toothache (in my experience, even pre-root-canal) is *remarkably* compliant to OTC painkillers. Or to put it differently, provide a good opportunity to test which one works best on your body.
So many people suffer rather than spend a few $'s at the drug store trying everything.
