Oh boy!

Now, how did I know that would peg your meter? :)

Of course one can also conclude or act as though life (one's own and life in general) has no meaning; or, as perhaps describes your view, that if it does have meaning, we can't know what it is.

In all cases, I think it a universal question for humans fortunate enough to be able to consider it - beyond mere survival.

Or we can assume that is has...and spend a whole life making up feel-good reasons why.

Life can have meaning because you choose for it to have meaning. Whether you have a theistic or non-theistic worldview you have made a choice. Some people may believe that a deity has spoken to them, but this is an unprovable statement.

I agree with you that we are fortunate that we can consider these things. However, One of the reasons I think there are more cases of depression and or mental illness in humans is because we have so much time to just think.

Over the course of our species evolution I don't think there was as much time to just sit and think. It was a day to day struggle just to live.
