A discussion on the ultimate meaning of life by house association

I was watching house.MD for a while, and house gave me a deep sense of identity.
Whether it is flawed beauty, seemingly ruthless external performance, elusiveness towards family and family emotions, the ultimate pursuit with some obsession, atheist, cruel to oneself, smart. Even the girl I like, his boss Lisa, is also the type of my first love.
Then I became curious about hugh, the actor of house. Uncle hugh grew up in the presbytery as a child, and he had a full religious atmosphere. But he is an outright atheist.
And when I was a kid, my grandmother would take me to church every weekend, listen to sermons, and sing hymns. But I am an atheist without a doubt, and there is no original sin in man.
The influence of religious atmosphere on him did not make him believe in God, but produced a rejection of hedonism. Refused to fully satisfy their material desires, unwilling to choose easy things, and likes challenges. And some of the depressive temperament that comes with it.
hugh hates hedonism, and it's hard to say that it wasn't influenced by the religious atmosphere of his childhood.
And I have also been looking for, routine life and pleasures make me very vigilant, and have been refusing to enter the normal state of ordinary people, paranoid patients with severe depression.

Recently, I just finished one of the dystopian trilogy "Brave New World". In the surreal scenes, all people perform their duties. People are nurtured from the bottle and customized from the embryonic period. Inferior people are biologically limited in development and are shaped to just meet the needs of social work. All people will not feel unhappy, even if they are unhappy, there are mental drugs that make them forget all their troubles instantly. Life in adulthood consists of work, vacation, numbness, sensory movies, all desires are fully satisfied, and the five senses are filled. They don't age, and they don't have disease. At the age of death, it will suddenly die suddenly. As soon as I saw this concept, I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back. I once thought that communism should be like this after the ideal is realized. Everyone is happy, happy, until death. Amuse to death.

So is happiness the ultimate meaning of life? Is life just for enjoyment?
