I just got done listening to the most recent show with Prof. Lawrence Krauss as your guest and you asked how it is possible to have meaning in life without meaning in the Universe.
I thought his answer was pretty simple and probably the most accurate but you imply that it is not possible to have meaning in life without meaning in the Universe. Here are my explanations..
1st explanation:
We are all just small components of this Universe. We all are from the same source. Whatever meaning we create for ourselves is our contribution to the Universe. Although it is very small compared to the scale of the Universe, it still gives us some meaning.
2nd explanation:
If you are under the impression that it is impossible for us to have individual meaning without an existing meaning for the Universe as a whole, that's different. But my question to you would be why is it necessary for our Universe to have meaning in order for us to have individual meaning?
