Meaning might sometimes be ennobling, but it is always reductive. Like a painting with a point or a movie with a message, a life saddled with meaning becomes nothing more than a vehicle for something external: Save the whales. Save the planet. Saving your life by defining it into non-existence.
A guy walks into a bar and instantly becomes some other guy's punchline.
