  There is no meaning of life. Humans are generally ignorant, and automatically assume there is a meaning to all things, when in fact, as stated earlier, the only things that have true meaning are those with which we ourselves give meaning to, such as our own lives and actions.

Isnt that what I said?  Though sounds like you contradicted yourself with your first sentence and then in the second part of your second sentence you seem to say there is a meaning.
The collective thoughts, wants, needs, desires, of all "Good Men" and the follow through of those deeds are what makes life meaningful.
So there is a meaning!!
IMO...always

Yep you said it, but I think your confusing finding meaning for your own life with The Meaning of All Life. As in the creation of all living things. Two different things.

Btw, what exactly is the definition of "good men"? Surely if there is good I'm assuming you also think there is evil. Let me ask you, when was the last time you met someone who was evil? Where they evil because they truly were, or were they evil because you thought so?

What is a "good men".  One that in their hearts does good by their actions.
Are you one through your actions destroy? or one to do something that creates a positive outcome?  Though not any single action should be judged on a person to define them as good or evil but by the sum of their actions.

As in the wife beating, he may have grown up around it and is affected by environment but inherently knows what is good and bad.  (though there are exceptions though that can be argued)

The dog, thats totally different, you come at me to hurt me and I kill you thats not murder its self defense.  Out of lust, lack of care or any other besides self defense, it becomes murder. (for  human)  Animals are distinctly different as they dont have the ability developed as far as we do to reason, among thousands of other traits to distinguish what it is to be human from a animal.  To reason is what sets us apart from the animals from what the difference between what is right and wrong.  Though some animals do show these traits. 

Keep in mind we are top of the food chain, we have no natural predator but ourselves.  Why do you think we murder so much and take our own lives?
Its not the only reason but on a macro environment related scale it is. 

Back to the main topic more so, there is wildly different defintions on good and evil based on perception.  More than one war has been fought in the name of GOD.  Though a half intelligent outsider knows its more about land, money, gold, and resources and not what GOD wants.  Unless of course you get idiots who pervert a good religion by doing things cause it what is says in their bible.  Even though its a interpretation on a warped mind, though a stretched one at that.

Just a thought.....
