Anyone read Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning?

Basically, to get through life, you have to find meaning. Very well written, very sad telling of his time in Nazi concentration camp.

I read it at a time when I was trying to get over a woman who I love. I think my therapist was trying to say "move on, don't let this be what your life is all about."

My life "does" have meaning. I'd a dad. I'm a son. I'm a husband. I'm a friend. I'm a citizen of the world.

What I do affects people. I try to be conscious of that.

Perhaps the meaning of life is to live the question. As Lao Tzu said: "To dance the dance of existence."?

Frequently I have a sense there is no meaning and I'm just waiting to die

I'm with Jane Austen on this one.

I continue to search for is the truth about why we are here. I don't think I will ever find an answer and maybe I am not capable of finding an answer. World religious beliefs and moral ideas are fascinating. I have read (or rather listened to) a number of books written by the 4 horsemen and they really make one think about life. I was a Christian for 62 years before becoming agnostic. My change may be a result of science study and teaching. To me, it is hard to believe in both Christianity and evolution. Doesn't the story of Adam and Eve along with Noah's Flood seem a lot like fairy tales? It seems unlikely that a God of the universe picked out one little planet and made it just for mankind and then asks them to believe in something based on very little evidence. And then if you don't believe you will burn in fire for ever and ever, and ever.

I kind of questioned the meaning of life since my high school years (late 1970s). Although my parents weren't devout Catholics, I attended a Catholic college, and became an atheist shortly into my first theology class. Logic 101 didn't help matters much either.

I answered "other", but my true answer is "both". I accept that there is none other than what I create for myself.
