^that's a terrible approach, sounds really shifty

i always make sure to give them some free candy as a non-threatening gesture of diplomacy, so they can tell i just want to enjoy the park in peace just like every other upstanding citizen

It's like that "If you shake it more than three times, you're playing with it" rule when at a urinal. If you look at a kid on a playground for longer than three seconds, then you're a pedophile.

I wonder if the meaning of life is to wonder what the meaning of life is.

The meaning of life is drinking. You know this.

Old Irish proverb: "Work is the curse of the drinking classes"...

"The meaning of life is to give life meaning" -Ayreon

Because it doesn't actually have any.

Or, put another way, life has no objective meaning, only subjective meaning. Meaning is a human cognitive thing, not something that exists externally of human thought.

the meaning of life is "the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death"

I disagree. That's just what life does, obeying the laws of physics. Meaning doesn't factor into it. Even the word "functional" has a lot of trace of humans forcing their concept of meaning onto events they observe.
