This is true, but it is also quite nihilistic. In the long run, after all, we are all dead, and since everything is truly random, there is always a chance anything we do does not matter. However, there is another truth.

Things we do can, and do matter, and every second and minute we live changes the world in ways we cannot even begin to understand. It is part of the human condition to have a possibility of failure for every endeavor, and also to understand this fact, see the truth of the world, and persevere.

Valor exists because of adversity, not despite it.
