As I said, biological life's inherent meaning is to continue. Beyond that - no, life in general doesn't have a meaning, so we ourselves have to create one for OUR life. I don't believe in a deity, I don't believe in fate, so I don't believe that someone out there has given me something that I have to find. I have the choices that come up in the course of my life, and the option to take them, or to think about them, and form my own meaning.
