If you think that your own happiness is the meaning (or possibly purpose) of your life then it is entirely external to society. What I mean is that as far as the rest of the world goes, if you achieve your aim then you might as well not have existed. I don't know if that is my purpose. I think this question is what makes me beleive in god - there is no answer to be found in humanity for definite. But if no one knows then - Why? Why everything, why anything... sorry, this is rambling a bit. Hope some of that made sense...
