Thank you for this thread, @annoyedgrunt84. A meaningful life to me is one that strives for & experiences the things that really matter to us, things we personally value highly. I have very fortunately been one of those lucky people who has been allowed to fulfill some dreams that mattered a great deal to me. I am always grateful for these meaningful parts of my life, & continue to cherish these memories. And by the way, being here at the Forums is a very meaningful experience for me. Anyway, thank you for being a deep thinker & asking a question like this!
