The meaning of life is the meaning of life as a human. The human possesses unique features that necessitate certain obligations - why would the divine give consciousness and therefore freedom? What is the utility of that which we possess and what does it, unlike any other beings, allow us to do?

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”

Viktor E. Frankl (not a philosopher in thr strictest sense but OP is a fag)
