I don't think so. It can be true that some things are found meaningful, obv. But those things may or may not be based in truth. There are right & wrong answers to things. A truth claim is true, false, partially true or unknown. https://twitter.com/ComplaintStick/status/1000871751218221056 …
This could be subjective perceptions. 'I should live like this.' A matter of individual taste. Or an objective claim, 'This way of making decisions is best' which can be measured if particular desired outcomes specified or argued for using reason & evidence.

Questions of how to live, and questions of taste, are not just subjective. Opposing the subjective and the objective is a philosophical mistake. Myths and narratives are meaningful precisely because they involve questions that exceed subjectivity.

That's why I said it could be both. Where the claim is objective, it can be measured. Where it is subjective, it can't. "How should I live' can have a subjective element - I should be a writer - and an objective claim - by following the doctrines of the Catholic church.

Well, no. That was a bad example too. It depends what you're measuring against. The subjective would be the individual finding their lives enriched or not by either of those things. The objective could look at earning money, impact on human rights issues etc.
