The Meaning of Life

What is the meaning of life?

We define every aspect of our own existance inside our consciousness, on our own terms. Our "realities" are constructed based on our own perceptions and personal relativity to the universe. All descriptors and value assignments of our reality are manufactured from our experiences, conditioning, and neural networks and models, all inside our head. Is there really an objective right or wrong? Sure there are absolutes, calculatable interactions outside our mind (physics), but can you tie this absolutism to morality and anything riddled with emotions? Or are emotions just more descriptors we invent to relate to the universe in relative terms? In order to interact effectively, we need dualities, we need meaning; however, our perception of reality could be an illusion. Think of someone you know that is "clueless" about something non-provable (theology, philosophy, morality). Why do you think they are clueless? Why are you more right about objective reality than they are? Maybe you're the dufus.

The answer is that there is no absolute answer. It's a relative question.
