So OP is the existentialist and you're the existential nihilist. I definitely fall the camp of the latter.
You are watching: The meaning of life is to give life meaning
My life got soo much better when I realised this. I used to be very stressed out. Now I know nothing really matters and I love it.
But happiness (at least the conventional notion of it) is an illusion; which brings us to ground zero.
“”Journey before destination”. Some may call it a simple platitude, but it is far more. A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us.
But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. The failure becomes the destination.
To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a man can take is always the next one.”

Correct because yes. Incorrect because it was not a question.

That might be the meaning of life (if such concepts even make sense).
We live in a very large and very mysterious universe. People should be hesitant to make sweeping statements about it when we still know so little.

It’s subjective. It doesn’t really matter what is known, only what is believed.

Life isn’t a ‘thing’, but it’s a ‘process’… billions upon billions of separate cells working together blindly just so it can repeat the entire process in the future.
The meaning of life is in the numbers.

Life is meaningless, you just defined it.
