This is great! This is what true spirituality is really about.

Yes! Just be true to yourself and you'll attract others like you. Many
many people feel this way about things, lots of them while 'adhering' in
some way to a system of some kind.

I just believe in the reality of random. I agree with you

This is one of the most profound truths of all. Alan Watts wrote a
wonderful book called 'The wisdom of insecurity'. It's an immense paradox
that in accepting there is hidden order and meaning in apparent chaos, that
is how your achieve true security.

No. There is hidden meaning - profound meaning which gradually reveals
itself.
