I heard an atheist-author talking on line. She said that she has a need to feel gratitude [why?]. But she doesn't believe in G-d so she can't direct her gratitude [for many things] to anyone in particular. So she said that she has "free-flowing gratitude" i.e. gratitude to nobody. But it makes her feel good so she has gratitude to nobody.
Nebuch.
She also said that life is absolutely meaningless. She invests a lot of energy writing meaningless books for meaningless people. And giving meaningless talks for meaningless minds.
Double nebuch.
If I were her I would just commit suicide. She is meaningless, her life is meaningless, everything she does is meaningless. That is what she believes. We are all just a huuuuge cosmic mistake. A human being has as much importance as a piece of cardboard.
I am VERY THANKFUL that we have Someone to whom to direct our gratitude and that our life has meaning.
ברוך אלהנו שבראנו לכבודו לכבודו והבדילנו מן התועים ונתן לנו תורת אמת וחיי עולם נטע בתוכנו.
