It is and always will be an endless quest to find mankind's purpose and even perhaps a meaning in this universe. Myself being less wise than mostly anyone I turn to past sages for expressions that provide some explanation of what life is all about. Perhaps someday I will understand life's full meaning. For cultural heritage recognition injected here are the lyrics of "Both Sides Now" written by Joni Mitchell released circa 1968 on the Clouds album, Reprise Label, A&M Studio recording.
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would've done
But clouds got in my way
1st chorus;
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions, I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancin' way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughin' when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
2nd chorus;
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions, I recall
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well, something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day
3rd chorus;
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions, I recall
I really don't know life at all

Empathy without responsibility is pity with or without charity. Just a thought, not.
Or, it is a mirrored room of irresponsible people? Metaphorically, a masquerade ball.
Think responsibly. Emotions can drive one to nowhere.

I agree with everyone, not just anyone, who agrees that it is possible for anyone to make nothing from nothing of everything.
This perspective is prevalent in society. Just ask everyone what they are "up to".

When I attempt to engage my mental blender in reverse logic even then I cannot come to a conclusion of which came first, the mafia (figuratively and literally) or government (mafia wanna be figuratively and literally). One common thread shared is a history of selling insurance(s).
Note: either sequence implied is only my guess.
