The mean!

In looking for the meaning in life, we are actually looking for the mean—i.e., the center.

"A meaningful life" consists in seeking the meaning of life and asking questions such as the one you just asked. This lead us into an ever-ascending path: what was meaningful before we left behind and—the meaningful having become meaningless—we strive for ever-loftier meaning.

So the meaningful life consists in striving and seeking for meaning, and meaning consists in ideals that come and go? This kind of meaning sounds to me like something rather extraneous to life itself—is it? Or do we just position ourselves as though separate from life?
