The meaning of life,

What is this the 'meaning of life' that everyone speaks
so freely about? Everyone has an opinion, every mind has
a solution and every mouth has a voice. Yet here we stand
several hundreds of years later with the same old question.

Man in all these years, has yet to create a ant, flower or
even duplicated a flowers scent effectively. But, behold listen
to man's wisdom when it comes to such trivial matters such
as the meaning of life. You see these learned fellows know not
the answers to the universe but if we believe their rantings
they do know the complex answers to the meaning of life.

Dare I say, renounce what has been said, and look within as I
believe with all my being that life's secrets are contained
within this very body. Scientists and scholars are still unable to explain
how it is that our heart beats of its own accord. What sustains that beat
is as yet unanswered.

So should we then not rather concentrate on the within before we venture out?
