In thinking about how evolution implies that we are the meaningless result of a meaningless process I believe perspective on the issue plays a significant role.  With evolution, I think that you can take two perpspectives.  In my opinion, one of these perspectives is the right one to take and the other is the wrong one.  The first one is taking a step back and while still acknowledging evolution, an individual should keep enjoy and make the most of his or her short time on earth and not dwell on the possibility that the human race is a microscopic chapter in the ongoing book of life.  This does not mean to be skeptical of the idea that the theory of evolution has grounds for how we came to be but rather use it to make more scientific observations.

The other perspective comes about from taking evolution out of a scientific context.  This other perspective, which I believe is the wrong one, is to become lost in the overwhelming, hard-to-comprehend theory of evolution.  In doing this, in individual will view everything as meaningless.  In taking this perspective one trivializes every issue or problem that humans face on earth.  Everything would simply lose importance- which I believe is very dangerous.
