Can you prove that nothing means anything? If nothing means anything why live? If everything means anything why don't we know what it means?

What does nothing mean? For that matter, what does meaning mean? Question break-down: # "Can you prove that nothing means anything?" No, because by its very nature nothing has no meaning. If it had meaning then you could not call it nothing. # "If nothing means anything why live?" Since nothing doesn't mean anything I do not need to answer the second question. # "If everything means anything why don't we know what it means?" Meaning in the broad sense of the word is: a reason for being. There is no easy way to identify a reason for being. You can't measure "reason for being", so we just have to struggle and search to see if we can find a meaning. Humans are small creatures and we have a lot to learn, but just because we don't understand doesn't mean that there isn't something out there for us to understand. There could be meaning, and life is our opportunity to find it.
