It frees one up from the pressure that there must be meaning or one can seek out a meaning of their own.

I have come to think way and am quite happy that I did. And that’s the point of examined life.

What if trying to find this meaning, whatever it is supposed to be, is in fact creating the pressure and in turn manifests the suffering of the human experience?

Analysis can be just as over-rated as meaning and life is best lived in the moment without all the dressings and entrapments that can go along with examination. This can lead to confusion.

I agree. Zen saying: "Before Enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water.”
