Living is meaningful to some, meaningless to others. Some won’t protect themselves from lethal danger, commit suicide.

Well, then committing suicide is apparently meaningful to them; and since they’re still alive even while attempting suicide, living is apparently meaningful to them… (It’s only when the attempt is successful that one’s life can be said to be meaningless to oneself in this sense—and only because one is then lifeless!)

@Atla

Some who find living meaningless will protect themselves from lethal danger because the meaningless survival instinct kicks in.

Sure, but what does this (objectively) meaningless survival instinct imply? That life is meaningful.

@Atla

As to my knowledge, no one asked me if I would find it meaningful to be born and start doing living; it just happened.

Indeed:

I want to ask you why you choose to live.

@TheIllustriousMrCat

why you choose to live and not die right now?

You mean, like, why do I choose to breathe and not not breathe right now? Or: why do I choose to breathe air and not Zyklon B right now? Or: why did I choose to eat food and not cyanide just now? Or: why will I probably step out the door in the morning and not out the window? Or: why will I probably cross the road safely and not jump in front of a car?

“[W]hy bother?” Well, you have to bother; you can’t not bother. Even just in order to kill yourself, you’d still have to bother. Even if you were to “try” to kill yourself by just not trying anymore, not moving anymore, people would come and keep you alive, at least until they’d moved you through the whole euthanasia trajectory (if that even exists in your country). And even more importantly, you yourself are a person: you yourself have all kinds of irrational life instincts. And the thing with the irrational is that you can’t reason it away.

I think there most probably is no objective meaning, but I’m still subject to all kinds of (implied) subjective meanings.
