To search for the meaning of life is to assume there's an answer, but this question is our invention — so meaning is what you make it. Encoded is our use by date to procreate and die, because evolution needs your space for its experimentation. Evolution is why we're alive, but the meaning is what you make it. Do you need a reason?
Life's a rental, it was never ours to keep, and death is but the price to pay for borrowed time, when you never coin for more.
