Hi Brenden,
I like your honest brainstorm/testimony style in answering the question of the meaning of life, exploring several possible avenues for answers only to slam the door and kick the question back to us: “what’s YOUR meaning?” :-D
I’ve answered the question myself, using a little allegory/story which reflects our own situation, down here on Earth..
