I now have ppl attempting to tell me that my family & intellectual life are objectively meaningless coz they only mean a great deal to me.

It seems I am a postmodernist who denies reality if I think subjective meaning is worth anything. In fact, I am a perfectly normal human.

With a perfectly rational grasp of reality. The reality is that my family & history exist and are important to me but not the universe.

Of course, its also very human to wish to be an immortal of significance in some grand scheme. Far less rational to think that makes it true

You can't convince me my life is meaningless coz what's important to me is small, local & temporary. I don't require meaning to be otherwise

But you feel free to try to tie your meaning to eternity & everything. Meanwhile, there are ppl you could love & a world you cld explore.
