How to use "Pointless" in context?
Pointless is a quality that can be found in nearly anything. Whether it is a gesture, a word, or an action, it can be insignificant and feel like it has no purpose. This is what makes pointless things so captivating and somewhat mysterious. They can be fascinating to look at and investigate, especially when taken in small doses. Some things that can be considered pointless include looking at mundane objects, making small talk, and repeating oneself. These activities can be enjoyable when they are done in moderation and have a purpose, but they can also be pointless when they are done for the sake of being pointless.
