The Meaning of Life

I have always been a bit startled because philosophers tend not to address this subject, even though it is often reflection upon this topic that draws people into philosophy to begin with.

It is also a notable subject because it is one of the few philosophical topics for which the Wikipedia entry is arguably more robust than the SEP entry. See for yourself:

Wikipedia entry on "The Meaning of Life"

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on the Meaning of Life

A thought question, prompted by Prof. Vaida:
Since we do not know the Meaning of Life, does this mean that all of our actions are irrational?
