There is no single meaning we can find because there is not supposed to be a meaning. Life, the Universe, and Everything is defined only through human our experiences; beyond whatever limited thoughts we come up with, it's still meaningless, just as it was meaningless before we crawled out of the primordial muck and just as meaningless as it'll be when the sun devours earth. Whatever beauty, grace, awesomeness, etc. we find in staring at the stars or having sex, it's all transitory. No meaning is inherent to the life, and it might be best if we all realized it.

I think it has to do something with love and self fulfillment. We have such a capacity for both.
