More to point, perhaps, my answers or yours, our answers or theirs?

The real question is, would anyone even view a work that indicates the author is illiterate and juvenile
First of all Life is not alive. It is not a living organism, and therefore, it can mean nothing. We mean, to do this, or that.
Our mind is designed for the production of or modification of human behavior, thus its job is called predictive behavior, or what we mean to do.
i.e.
So, if one cannot even master a simple and fundamental word, such as mean, meaning, meant, which are grammatical products, and no the products of some mystical pooka, then that person is not worth any kind of conversation with, unless it is advice about therapy.
As Plat noted, words, names, in of themselves have no meaning, meaning is assigned to parsed perception. This author does not even know the foundation of common grammar.
The inability to join in a naming convention, is not a sign of intelligence, nor of philosophy. It is stupidity.

Life is the source of all meaning, as far as we know humans are the only creatures asking about their own life's meaning. The answer is, that whatever human life decides its meaning is as a collective or as an individual. We are creators of meaning there is no other source, to have meaning would be like having a predestination, and all the earth and the cosmos are indeterminate in an endless process of life, death, and renewal. There can be no self, just an anonymous temporal constitution in the process of experiencing an apparent reality.

Okay, but, ONCE AGAIN, 'this one' has, essentially, really 'SAID' NOTHING AT ALL, here.

The meaning of (the word) 'life', literally, IS,
living; being alive.
The ANSWER TO what is the purpose of 'life', itself, and of 'human life', too, has, ALSO, ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED. That is, for those who are curious and/or interested, as well.

In life the answer is what you make it. Absent an uncontestable 6+ sigma miracle, there is no question to answer. Death gives the meaning.
