That makes it PRECIOUS.
All the meaning, justice, goodness in the universe is what we create. That makes us important--we are the ones who perceive order, who prefer nurturing over destruction, who have invented and sustained love for thousands of years.

I do agree with most of your point in there (non-committal about the part on miracles, though, not sure I understand it well).
I don't feel the need for a justification to my life.
It IS meaningless, and I don't care. I'm just here to enjoy it while it lasts.
And enjoying it depends on personal well-being, but also depends on spreading it to others.
