Abstract
While the previous chapter responded to arguments that, it was claimed, fail to show that life can be meaningful despite our mortality, this chapter presents an argument that succeeds at showing this. True, death diminishes meaning, and an infinite life would have been more meaningful than a finite one. But this does not mean that a finite life is devoid of all meaning (unless, of course, one is a perfectionist). A finite life can have considerable, albeit not absolute, meaning. The chapter presents examples that undermine the view that all experiences and lives are equal because of their transience. It shows that the myth of Sisyphus and Tolstoy’s fable offer inaccurate portrayals of the human condition.
