Meaning- What is meant by something; something that one wishes to convey, especially by language.
Ironically, the definition of meaning is not that simple. Instead, it is just as confusing as the following question: What gives your life meaning?
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how to answer this. I don't believe that my existence stands for nothing, but I don't feel like I'm the most important person in the world and that I give meaning to everyone else's lives. I would have to say that everyone's life has meaning to someone or something, whether it's big or small.
The whole meaning of life seems to be strictly personal. You may feel like you don't mean anything to anyone, but someone may feel like you are the most meaningful person in their life. The life of a politician from Serbia may not have any meaning to me, but it means something to the residents of Serbia. You may think, "Well, what's the meaning of laws or governments if we're all going to die anyway and the Earth will be destroyed in a few billion years?" I think you shouldn't worry about something that will have absolutely no impact on you. Yes, we are all going to die someday, but that doesn't mean you get to be wild and crazy just because you feel like your life doesn't matter. Those laws are there for a reason: to protect everyone, INCLUDING yourself.
Everything has some type of meaning. It may not mean anything to you, but it has meaning to someone or something in the grander scheme of things.
