"What if life has no meaning?"

I think that looking for a "meaning" for life is roughly equivalent to treating it as a language - and that's fine. Then there is grammar (supposedly the laws) and the syntax (presumably memory or history) and last but not least the motor the whole thing is hanging on: Time!

All this seems to constantly generate some kind of meaning. This is probably tied up with a fundamental form of intelligence: the emotional intelligence.
This may be the prism through which we experience the ongoing "meaning" of this language complex.
