What of there is no meaning? Or what If you give it meaning through your own subjective experience?
I ask, does it even make sense to ask the question? What if your meaning differs from another?
Please elucidate. What exactly does 'meditation' do in trying to satisfy the question that a beer with friends doesn't? Or a heart to heart with a loved one? Or simple dreaming?
What are your comparators and how are they controlled and calculated?
This is exactly my point about being lazy. Why don't you sit somewhere, think about the questions you are asking me, do the things you are talking about and try to find the answer, talk to others and see what you find. You want me to give an answer on a plate. That is not how it is going happen, it could take almost a lifetime to find the answer or could be very short if you happen to be in the right circumstances.
Anyway, for me the meaning of life is remove myself from materialism so that I would not be bounded to the physical world again.
This is hard for Atheists to accept (probably accomplish) as physical and materialism is the only thing that is true for them, the rest is false,
