There is no external meaning to life. There is no cosmic Sky Daddy and no angels and no guardian spirits. The universe is a whole bunch of quarks or whatever and it not only doesn't care about you, it doesn't even know you exist. Also, no afterlife. Sorry, one and done. It's harsh but hopefully it will encourage you to make the best of your one shot. The only meaning your life has is the meaning you give it. You ''could'' be a dick, but wouldn't it be better to play nice and see if you can't find some happiness during your one shot.

tl;dr

There is no external meaning to life. There is no cosmic Sky Daddy and no angels and no guardian spirits. I know those made you feel better but the truth is that the universe is a whole bunch of quarks or whatever and it not only doesn't care about you, it doesn't even know you exist. Also, no afterlife. Sorry, one and done. It's harsh but hopefully it will encourage you to make the best of your one shot. The only meaning your life has is the meaning you give it. You could be a dick, but wouldn't it be better to play nice and see if you can't find some happiness during your one life?
