Re: I don't get it at all
I guess that counts me out then. I don't really feel that my life or that of anyone else has any objective meaning whatsoever in the grand scheme of things.
That doesn't mean that I want it to end or that I don't respect it in others. It is just that IMO "meaning" is a meaningless concept. It is just the product of uncaring physics and chemistry. Everything that we see, hear, feel and see is just a bunch of meaningless chemical reactions (which science can quite easily measure).
Purple, I somewhat agree...
However, I would say that the only "meaning" that an individual's life has is that which we create for ourselves. We have brains/minds for a reason right? I think your intelligence can provide an individual their own meaning.
Of course that means that there is technically no "universal" meaning of life. Only that which we create for ourselves.
