The Meaning of Life: Avoid Drudgery

If a single version of the meaning of life were universally understood and accepted, everybody would spend all their time pursuing the same thing. That would be tremendously boring. So perhaps there is no fixed meaning for all people precisely for that reason--to avoid making the world so bland. Taken one step further, perhaps that is the meaning of life itself: to avoid boredom and make things as interesting as possible.

It's an oddly circular argument that won't stand up to much logical analysis, but food for thought nonetheless.
