I would be embarrassed if I could remember how old I was when I finally understood what the meaning of “meaning” is.
Before that, characters on television and sometimes even real people would cry out, “My life has no meaning!” and I would be baffled.
In those days, I assumed that the meaning of “meaning” was restricted to the definitions of words in the dictionary.
It does embarrass me that I never thought to look up the meaning of “meaning” in the dictionary.
