Well said Fido. Thank you.

It was nieve of me to use the word value to somehow describe meaning. I guess I made some correlation between the meaning of everything else and the value of life.

Life the only value gives all things meaning. Life has no meaning! There is no underlying significance or universal purpose. Life just is. When everything else has lost its meaning and purpouse then life has no value in and of itself. So then it is the value of everything else that gives life meaning.

I started out OK and then my statement got circular. Help please.
