Also stoic attitude can help dealing with a meaningless world and suffering in general:

>“External thinks are not the problem. It’s your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.” – Marcus Aurelius

>“We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more in imagination than in reality.” – Seneca

>“Life is very short and anxious for those who forget the past, neglect the present, and fear the future.” – Seneca

>“The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own…” – Epictetus
