Matter that matters and Ideas that Work are the two components of Meaning in Life

Ideas that work examples —

Virtue is a form of knowledge

God is love

Virtue is strength

Time is billions of years

Space is billions of light years deep

Matter that matters examples

Uranium is energy

Plutonium is energy

Rhenium makes steel strong

Niobium makes steel strong

Gold makes good integrated circuits

Selenium makes photo-electric flow

There is some other meaning in life — like romantic or family love, or devotional dedication to a cause, but matter that matters and ideas that work are the main sources of meaning that go beyond individual personal lives.
