That's an utter shit. You are the cumulative functions of your emotions and senses, and you must yearn for the happiness in the miserable and shitty 80 years you will live. It's essentially a game of strategy where you will want to have as much happiness without suffering. That's where idiotic and worthless arguments like this arose; when people make foolish choices to be happy and end up worse, they accuse the ambition of happiness for their own blindness. The ultimate focus of one's life shouldn't be a higher meaning; instead, one must be smart enough understand what makes them happy, and move towards that happiness while avoiding suffering if it doesn't serve happiness. Then one will see that the so-called "higher meaning" isn't something one should strive and work towards for, but something that they reach when they start to think and live for what makes them happy. It's not about the damn destination, it's about the journey.
