OK, cool. The problem Eve had was with someone saying we each give our lives their own meaning.
I thought you just agreed there is objective meaning to be found in life. You're incoherent. Please go away now.

There is. But you can only find it by doing something meaningful. Is that so crazy a thought?
-
No. The idea that anyone is claiming anything different is a product of your own mind, tho.
-
If that's true, it's because you stopped saying that meaning is subjective.

You cannot genuinely be still failing to understand this. At this stage it can only be deliberate. One last go & then I'm out.

Different opportunities exist in reality. Different people choose different ones as the purpose or meaning of their lives.

In this sense, meaning is subjective. The meaning of my life - family, history - is different to my friend's - travel, physics.
-
Therefore, when someone says 'we make our own meaning in life', they mean they choose the purpose of their own life.

They do not mean anything else - eg I create reality with my mind, everything is equally valuable, no-one else shares my purpose
