But in the middle ages there was nothing to buy. Even the incandescent bulb were not there not even for the king. Blessed. Aren't we
Are you sure that's the question you really want to ask? Because the literal answer is rather mundane:
noun
1. the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death. "the origins of life"
2. the existence of an individual human being or animal.
"a disaster that claimed the lives of 266 Americans"

There is also the psychological approach:

Jeez, look it's not complicated..
Add some guitars, drums, beers, a few fine ladies and we're all set..
I been up, I been down
Take my word, my way around
I ain't askin' for much, mmh
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush
I been bad, I been good
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood
I ain't askin' for much, mmh
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush (yeah)
Take me back, way back home
Not by myself, not alone
I ain't askin' for much, mhm
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush
To be honest... Descartes and Newton and all the Physics in the World couldn't compare when I got down on the dance floor after a beer or two and did the boogie... No ladies ever asked me about F=mA or Cartesian Coordinate Transformations... OTOH, stuff shaped like a Telefunken U47.... now we're talkin'.
Stories from the distant past... '82.. Colorado...
So.. you ladies are seniors, huh? What university?
Oh, no, we're in High School in Iowa.
Gulp!
So, we sort of skunked out of the bar before anyone realized we'd been buying beers to underage girls. With fake Ids and real...
The Meaning of Life.
The youth of today is sooooo toast. I feel sorry for them.

No paternity suit.
By that time in '82 Rick and I were seasoned lounge lizards. We knew better than to mess around with underage ladies from ANYWHERE. I mean, once we knew they were underage we were toast. We no longer had a excuse that you needed to be 21 to be in that local.
We really skunked out of there and went to the next bar where we drunk more than a few boilermakers and listened to a better country/rock band.
Those were the good days in Colorado.
The meaning of life measured in boilermakers.

Famous lyrics to live by:
"... Hey, darlin'... can I buy ya a couple 'a drinks, Hmm?
Lookin' for Mister Goodbar?
Here he is...
Wait a minute...
I've got it... you're an Italian!
Huh?
Yer Jewish?
Love your nails ...
You must be a Libra... Your place or mine?
Heh heh heh yeah.."
More famous lines to live by:
"..Hey baby... wanna dance?"
MInd you, I only went to clubs to check out the audio system, OK? 😉
"... That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free.."

The sense of life is to be slidding into nostalgia when we are seeing the coast of the old age and we remember how we beat the life with the good teeth of yougness.

No... not nostalgia... that IS the meaning of life. I just gave ya one the interesting mile posts along my quest... the meaning of MY life: the quest for procreation, low taxation and good sound.
I got two kids, 4000 LPs, a nice turntable, a couple of cars that are fun and reliable, a wife that doesn't drive my nuts (and I like her) and a house in suburbia with nice neighbors and good weather.
Oh, my teeth and health are fine too. ;-)
The meaning of life.. well, to be obtuse, allow me...
"...John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And René Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore I am"... "
So while you folks are so serious about this.... I'm doing it MY way...
"For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way"
I rarely saw Frank (Francis Albert) Sinatra looking nervous.
But here he looks extremely nervous:
Clearly out of his depth! Beware bitter and damaged women like Ava Gardner. They will destroy you. 😉

The MEANING OF LIFE is actually a TWO PART thing.
1. The PURPOSE
2. The GIFT
The PURPOSE = to breed for the purpose of Evolution & Discovery.
The GIFT = Family, Friends & Community + The Journey.
