I think I found the meaning of life, but it's not realistic to reach in any way and also would only provide around a few weeks of happiness before the whole thing collapses. Can it still be the meaning of life?

Meth shouldn't be that hard to find in Tennessee.

I've already discovered the meaning of life, and it's not very hard to find... see my signature.

The meaning of life is found in Matthew 22:36-40.  It is impossible to fully reach, which is why we need a savior.

philosophically, we're no different than any other living organism. there is no philosophical or moral meaning to life, only a biological meaning (purpose/design)

You need to explain what you mean by "philosophically" and "no different," because at face value that looks like borderline gibberish. The teleological view of biology, while not completely off the table, is definitely unpopular among modern philosophers and biologists, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say with your second sentence either.

i just mean that there isn't a "meaning of life." we made up religion and philosophy, why would there be a higher purpose or reason for being? the only "reason for being" is the one biology has, which is to pass on their genes.
