Life to me would be less meaningful if we were just here for all those years and then we died and were nothing. Life's meaning for me comes from understanding that this life isn't all there is. We were somebody before we were born, and we chose to experience this life, as it may be, and we will be ever so much more. We will build on the experiences of this life, and the relationships that we develop, and will continue to progress.

One might also ask if education were inherently meaningless, or if a visit to another country were inherently meaningless. It's all what you do with it.
