In defining our purpose in life, we inevitably bump into our
meaning in life, our inner significance. In answering this, we
usually end up broadening the question. What is the meaning of
my life, leads to what is the meaning of human life, which leads
to what is the meaning of life.
Meaning requires an perceiver. Just as a sound requires a
hearer (the proverbial tree falling in the forest), or an event
(or it's effect) must be observed. We are the perceivers of our
own meaning in life, and (in the absence of thee creator) we are
also the creators.
So there is meaning to the question of the meaning of life.
Significant to anyone capable of asking it. Is there a
meaningful, definitive answer? Yes, there are many meaningful
answers, but no meaningful definitive answer.
This only leaves the original question to be answered: Does
life have meaning? The answer I think is clear; since we as
humans create our own meaning and purpose in life (or let our
creator determine it), and we are part of life, then yes, life
does have meaning. Of course what that meaning is will continue
to be debated as long as there is intelligent life to debate it.
