Let’s use a hypothetical scenario to further illustrate my question:

Imagine we sent out explorers across the universe to ask advanced civilizations, “What gives your life meaning?”

But almost every civilization we encounter eventually collapsed, gave up, destroyed themselves, or concluded that life wasn’t worth the suffering.

If pain, loss, death, and suffering are unavoidable parts of existence, and if everything we build eventually disappears anyway, then what actually makes life meaningful or worth continuing?
