Answer :

I think it was Sartre (or some other existentialist philosopher) who said that people who kill themselves because life has no meaning have actually discovered the meaning of life—it has no meaning (or something to that effect). The only meaning anything has is the meaning you give it. It’s a lot easier to care about things and find motivation when you place meaning on things. Truth and reality have no absolutes.
