What is the purpose of a meaning in Life?
The meaning in life is an evolutiononary developed illusion that gives a species the reason to survive. Without it there is no way a civilization can form or exist.
Reaching a goal or pursuing it only triggers chemical processes in the brain to give a sense of happiness to the respective person from which one can conclude that the meaning of life would be that short timespan in which this process is taking place.
