To a small ant, the meaning of life is the ant hill, the colony, the queen...


To the lion it is the grassland, the watering hole, the pride.

To humans, we are stuck in a moment of transition between all we know now and the true understanding of our physical world. In that physicality we can't get passed those things we anatomically can't ignore - the drive to eat, sleep, reproduce. We take this to be the actual meaning of life. This is so, as we move ever closer to understanding the depths of that physicality with extensions in knowledge of physics and mathematics we pick away at the lock on the door revealing the true nature of existence that we cannot yet perceive but is locked away in mysteries such as 'spooky action at a distance', and 'the double slit experiment'.. moving again ever closer to one day discovering this life is only a single slice of what 'life' is.

In the meantime, enjoy that physicality. It is the only meaning you will ever know in your lifetime.
