Did somebody suggest there should, or might be a meaning to life? Seems a crazy idea!

Agreed. the question is rigged. Most people ask "What is the meaning of life" in which they have loaded the question with an assumption that meaning already exists.

In reality the best question is "Is there a meaning of life", in which I would say "Nobody can ever know". Besides, the universe so far display the fact that there is no inherent meaning of life as far as the humans relationship with the cosmos goes.

This is called "The human condition". In absurdism, we humans seek out meaning in a cosmos that does not reciprocate. We seek out human justifications from and inhuman cosmos.

Ah.. Didn't notice "is there a meaning of life" is a philosophical question. Agreed, Rev.
