Throughout my life I've struggled to find meaning. I've wondered, am I alone in this? I'd like to hear what others have to say. Particularly others that are more knowledgeable in philosophy.

Nobody knows anything. Philosophy is a fake study of subjective experience based on no evidence. Do what thou will. Anyone claiming knowledge about things they can't demonstrate is a conartist or sociopath.

Selflessness is the meaning; God or not.

Suicide is the highest meaning possible then. No self, no problem!

It's seeing selflessness and our capacity for it from a more reasonable point of view, because it's reason and logic that serves as the basis of selflessness.
