inherently meaningless? how about just pointless...unless you're aware of the reason you were put here.Then, we find the meaning we're looking for, the reason to wake up before the alarm goes off everyday... Instead of being like the little dog who saw happiness in his tail and ran in circles...we walk in our purpouse and it follows us everywhere we go! SO, why were you put here? it's simple really...because someone loved you! before you were even born and every minute since, were you to "love them back" you'd have a relationship, a very meaningful relationship,a very meaninful LIFE! or, we could just wonder why we're depressed,anxious,paranoid,obsessive, etc...we're too busy dealing with the symptoms of NOT having a relationship to actually have one...it makes ALL the sense of the world...(sadly)
