Accidentialism

I've just started a new school of thought, it's called accidentialism. It's based upon the theory that everything that has happened, and everything that is going to happen, was/is an accident. Nothing that is the way it it is to-day were supposed to be the way it is. It's all just a big accident. Not necessarily a bad accident, or a good one, just an accident. 'This' is not how 'it' was supposed to turn out.
So what to do? How will this line of thought give us any of this fabled 'meaning' we're so often told about? I don't know. As mentioned, accidentialism, or accidents, isn't necessarily a bad thing, I don't think we can really ever know wether it is of the good or the bad. Given a 50% chance that it's bad, and we decide to work on it, with a prognosis that the new outcome will have a 50% probability to turn out good, we have exactly nothing to gain from trying to do anything. And time spent doing nothing, unless it's actually fun, in which case it isn't 'nothing', its actually 'fun', is not time well spent, and would be better spent doing something different, like dancing, which is fun.
I'm afraid that this is boiling down to that there isn't anything to be gained from following this new school of thought of mine, the thoughts are not worth the time and efforts thinking them.
This all means therefore that I managed to create and end a complete ideology in just a matter of minutes.
Was it worth it? I don't know.
