In that context, does observed injustice harm meaning or somehow run afoul of satisfactory meaning? What do you do, to be a part of this relationship with justice which forms the basis (or part of the basis) for your meaning?

What am I asking you? Consider the exchange above. I asked you what you did to be a part of this meaning, and..ofc, was trying to get you to explore it in previous questions - but you told me some silly shit about the particulars of the fairy kingdoms..instead. Even though you don't believe that their existence or non-existence is relevant to meaning.
That's a meaningless response to a question about meaning. Bravo.
