^^ i edited my post a bit right before you responded. meaning is derived from nothing when we try to make one particular goal in life objectively meaningful in and of itself. all meaning is relative and depends on pre-existing structures. these structures generate meaning but are unable to account for their own meaning... they are reactions against an undercurrent of meaninglessness which they are unable to incorporate into themselves.

i fully agree but i just don't think it's possible to construct an objective morality out of that principle without running into a handfull of contradictions
