You have to have breaks in life no matter who you are you get overwhelmed by things when you have no time to take a breath because the human brain and body need time to recycle just as the ATP molecule needs time to recycle to supply energy to the body this is not a sign of weakness it is part of the animal world and if you could run without breaks there would be no need to sleep but everyone sleeps lack of sleep causes people to undergo personality changes that breaks are truly necessary is demonstrated by the way we provide the same kind of relief in writing by the use of punctuation to give the reader a break for meaning and this thought I just wrote leads me to say that meaning itself is isolated and that is the reason that we never have the answers to the big questions so we break the meaning of the universe and the meaning of life into little thought units that we can handle an example would be the standard equation that tries to unite all forces and particles to show how the universe works and the equation is a good one except it cannot include gravity and similar philosophical questions such as why there is evil and suffering in the world and why there is time or truth or reality and well you name it because we cannot get to the whole unless we interject faith of some kind the best advice I can give is to be happy solving the little problems the bits of units that are bookended by breaks to enable you to recycle get renewed energy and ask the same questions again to get slightly different answers at least answers that are slightly different from the answers that your ancestors got when they asked the same questions.
