Meaning (philosophy)

Well kiddo, "meaning" in philosophy is all about understanding the purpose and significance of things. Remember when we talked about how you wondered why we were here and what we're supposed to do? That's kind of what "meaning" is all about.

Imagine a birthday present you got that you really love. You might say that the present has "meaning" to you because it makes you happy and it reminds you of the person who gave it to you. But if someone else looked at the same present, they might not think it has any "meaning" at all.

Even bigger things can have "meaning" too, like a whole life or the universe. People have different ideas about what makes life meaningful, but it usually has to do with doing things that matter to you or to others, and leaving a positive impact on the world.

So, "meaning" is all about figuring out what matters to you and why. It can help you appreciate the good things in life and find purpose and happiness.
