What Is "The" Meaning?

I have always wondered what is the meaning of life, and what the point in us working so hard when all of our accomplishments and possessions are simply lost and gone by the time our lives end. Some may say, that is the meaning of life is to enjoy it, to live it to the fullest within the limited time frame, some say it is to stick to realism, some may think that it is wealth or happiness. However, I would say that I found a satisfactory answer now, and that my friends, is the meaning that we give it.


What do I mean by that? So, the idea is to first learn and accept the basics. We are human beings, and that means our capabilities and limits and very clear. If we look at this question from a macro perspective, there is simply no meaning, as even though we may think that we live in a universe, there may be infinity other universes out there that we will never know of. Thus, if we are on the same page on this one, we will know that there is simply no meaning of us trying so hard and working to accomplish so much when the world is so vast and that we are merely the tiny specs of life that often dream on dominating it. So, there is no meaning on the macro perspective. Also, even if the universe example may seem abstract, on our planet Earth, the same principle applies. There are so many other human beings out there and there are so many other organisms roaming this planet that makes our own lives not significant enough. This is sounding pessimistic, however, my point is that the world does not owe you anything and that life on earth is simply a matter of life and death. When we get that part clear as well, then we can now start thinking abou the actua meaning.


Thus, we can come to the conclusion that sometimes, we cannot always make our vision too broad, just like how we look into the essence of everything, nothing is always the answer. So, now we need to dissect this issue on a micro perspective, which means we need to start thinking about this on a smaller scale, aka, on the scale of our own life. It is only when we start looking into our own lives and prioritizing ourselves that our world is going to become more unique and bright as ever. If we really dig into the meaning of life, the meaning is to satisfy ourselves and to make ourselves happy with what we have, because some may prioritize fame and wealth, while some may just want to be with themselves and that is all okay, because that is what makes this earth unique because judgement does not play a role in meaning, as meaning is made, and not put together. What do I mean by this? If we look at words, all words in this world have a meaning (or at least to some degree). If we do not give words meaning, what we are saying every day is just absolute gibberish, which means the idea of meaning is given and not self-existent. Thus, the answer to this question is not defined, it is made by you.
