So what if life objectively has no meaning? You can only experience it through your own subjective viewpoint, so why not find something that is subjectively meaningful to you?


And there lies the problem. That means your lack of existence is on par with anything else. So you can find something random meaningful to you or poof just end it early.

Usually this leads to drugs first and not outright suicide, but it is still nonetheless quite harmful to the individual.


I think you missed my point... your lack of existence is on par with anything else, to some objective observer. You are not an objective observer. You can choose to care about yourself. You just have to accept the trade off that caring about something means there will inevitably be some pain to go along with it too when things don't work out the way you want.
