Why must there be a meaning? What difference does it make to your day to day life?

Because deep within I believe we all question and seek answers to four major questions.  


Origin
Meaning
Morality 
Destiny

Where do I come from?

What gives life meaning?

How do I differentiate between good and bad?

What happens to a human being when he or she dies?

The atheistic worldviews answers to these questions, I find depressing.  I think most people have a longing for life after the grave, we feel there is something more.  May be not all people, but most.

Atheism says we are a cosmic accident, each person defines their own meaning, each person defines their own good, and then dust.  To me, personally, that is depressing.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
