"People give different meanings to their lives' is not really countered by 'A consensus on the meaning of words exists'

"Reality isn't a product of your mind"

Sorry? How does this relate? Of course reality is not a product of the mind. Meaning is tho.

eg my daughter is real. She means a lot to me. I have purpose & meaning as 'mother'. She means nothing to you.
-
That's because she's not my daughter, and I'm not her mother. Not because of anything you invented or imagined.
-
Exactly. I'm not claiming to gain meaning from anything I've invented or imagined.
-
I'm claiming, I'd have thought unexceptionably, that what gives my life meaning is subjective & that's normal.

Maybe I'm lost, but aren't you two talking about meaning as in interpretation and meaning as in mattering?
-
Kind of. MrOzAtheist said ppl give their own lives meaning. Eve is claiming this is the same as having your own truth.

She likes to miss the point.
