that short list you got there is just the beginning of a bottomless pit of 'meaningless' ...I agree with you.
wow you got my synapses firing
do 'things' mean what we want them to mean?...and if so why?
do things mean what those around us seem to make them mean...and what do they get out of it?
do things mean whatever they are going to mean anyway..and if so what does that mean?
do things mean something meaningful or something meaningless?..and is there a difference?
aaaah! mental spasm

"Meaning" is "judgment" and judgment is only in the mind. Life simply is. It's our egos that demand "meaning" from it so that we can get an image of ourselves from it. Life must have a meaning that we can use to parade around.
But life existed before I was alive and will exist after I'm dead. Life did just fine before I tried to take control over it and is doing just fine after I "let go".
