Life has the meaning you choose to give it.
I remember when I learned about the vastness of space when I was, like, 6. I sat up that night just thinking about how incredibly huge the universe is, and how nothing on one random planet amongst it all could ever really matter. Then I thought "Well, I matter because I want to matter," and went to bed. Sometimes the simplicity of childhood can help answer the most paralyzing of philosophical quandaries.
