reaenna: Things are only not "neutral, dull, and without purpose" because people assign purposes and subjective attributes to them. In reality, things are exactly as you describe there, to the truly objective observer.
Good and evil, dull and exciting, purposeful and purposeless, are all simply human perceptions and have nothing to do with the world itself, except insofar as it interacts with us, and we with it.
