This thread probably better fits with the content of the philosophy forum, but I'll leave that part alone having mentioned it. I live my life in the way that allows me the most comfort and contentment. I'm still trying to work out a few ways to allow me to expand my range of comfort, so to speak, but on the whole, I think the best way to live life is to do so as simply as possible in terms of what you want and what goals you may or may not have. Constantly trying to find that "something else" that will somehow magically improve your life, whether it is within or without the scope of material reality will just lead to disappointment and unhappiness. The key to life is just to enjoy what you are and have at the moment; not that you have to be devoid of goals or "self-improvement", but it doesn't do any good to be unhappy with who you are.
And no, I don't find existence to be ridiculous. There is certainly an underlying levity to it all, but nothing to laugh at or be condescending towards.
