It could using my definition as well. A life can have meaning
by having an effect on itself (which is in fact unavoidable).
>By your definition of meaning, yes. By mine, no.
I didn't say meaningless, I said relatively meaningless. Wouldn't

many other lives? Even assuming your definition of meaning is
different than mine?
