Is meaning everything to us not enough meaning.....for meaning? It seems like that would strip meaning, of meaning.
I'll go further. It is the transitory, fleeting things that are more often meaningful than the lasting, 'eternal' things. I find the smile of a child to be much more meaningful (on a personal level) than the light from a quasar.
The point is that *for us* there are meaningful things and we place great importance on them. But that in no way implies they are of *cosmic* or *eternal* importance.
