How are memories, narrative stories, histories and future aspirations meaningful? Objectively and truthfully, they are meaningless. Telelogically they are meaningless. In what ultimate end, in what ideal of man, will you find his memories, narrative accounts and histories? Maybe you can find an ultimate end in the future, but it's not very close and you have no idea when it will come or what it will be.

the question what is the meaning of life is ambiguous. That's what sethomas was talking about when he said existence proceeds essence. Existence proceeds meaning is pretty similar. In order for anything to have meaning, existence must exist. So does that mean things are intrinisically meaningless? It's also a statement that meaning only exists subjectively. "LIFE MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT THINGS".
the meaning of life is to live lol
