I think a lot of the sense of meaning comes from giving of ourselves. I suspect that’s why parents often find so much meaning in the raising of their children. Giving your love and care, time and skill, contributing in some positive way to the world around you leaves a mark. You were here, and that made a difference. I don’t think that concept is entirely separate from pleasure, though you can find an emptier brand of pleasure if you choose.

The Book of Ecclesiastes covers this in great detail.

My kids have provided most of the deeper purpose in my life. They are headed toward being on their own .. I'm looking to do a bit more of "whatever I want" and see how that works. ;-)

Concentrate on relating to, being a benefit to, helping and assisting, others.

I get pleasure from meaning in life though. From helping others, sharing gifts, talents, and spaces to be open and connect with others. I feel that's a lot of pleasure in my life, but also gives me meaning...
