What is meaning?

Answer 1

Good question but dumb as well.
We are here in this world to find meanings. Meaning is a choice.
- For example the meaning of learning is to get smarter
- Meaning is what we are looking for in this world.
Everything has a meaning.

Answer 2

I almost feel like asking you, "What is the meaning of your question?" "Meaning" can be so many things to so many people. There can't be ONE answer. What means something to me, can mean nothing to you! If I had to pin it down though, I'd say "meaning" is whatever gives the seeker of meaning a sense of personal validation or confirmation of some sort. If something gives you this sense of meaning, you are perceiving its' essense as contributing to your being in some positive way. Other than that, "meaning" makes us feel connected to something or someone. "Meaning" makes one feel good inside, or complete. "Meaning" is just darn good, wherever you may find it!
