Ok, slow the boat there a sec. I agree with the first statement. I can possibly conceed that it has no self-discernable reason. I just wanted to add that's it's not meaningless though. I don't think it's simply arrogance to feel your life holds great purpose. But you said greater purpose, greater than what?


What if our purpose is to give reason? What if our purpose is superintelligent fertilizer? Just because we currently can rationalize what the purpose is doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Life does not have meaning because meaning is not a property that may be ascribed to life. There is nothing in the definition of life that requires meaning; to claim life requires meaning when meaning is so distinct, varied or nonexistent among many people proves that the ascribed property to be part of human nature, not life.
