This may be the correct answer, and is possibly the only thing I've talked about here that I actually have the power to do. It may also be the thing that I was actually made fore. If Nature created me to be a disposable one-generation vehicle for passing on genes, and if I'm just going to be thrown away and recycled after I've outlived my usefulness, then "living" is the only thing I can really do.
So maybe it isn't meaning that I really want. What I really want is immortality. I seek meaning only because I can't have immortality, and meaning is ultimately unsatisfying to me because it's not immortality. I want meaning because I want to say, "If I can't have immortality, I at least want to know that my finite life meant something. But this is still unsatisfying, because I want immortality.
So I suppose that the next be thing I can do to living forever, is to live for whatever time I can. So perhaps "live" the correct answer to the question.
