First of all, before talking about meaning, let’s understand what meaning is.
If you don't even understand the meaning and just talk about "the end of life", that is another matter and cannot be confused.
Some people think that watching each other in life is the meaning; some people think that watching the children grow up together is the meaning; some people think that watching the morning dew and sunset is the meaning, and the meaning of life depends on the individual. Meaning and value are incompatible. The film seems to be talking about value, not meaning. If it is a question of value, then it will talk about success or economics or technology, which is the external manifestation of proving its own existence.
If the universe will lose and what will not disappear, if we have to prove our own value, then from another perspective, we regard ourselves as immortal and eternal. We are not so great and see ourselves clearly. So does existence really make sense? The answer is yes, depending on the individual, to find the meaning of our existence, of course, whether it is for ourselves or others, we live in the process of life is the meaning. No matter what comes after that day, life in the world is all about "living my little emotions." Let's call it that!
Does life have to be happy? Does death have to be the end of all things? What's after "end"?
