Subjective Meaning (Q&A 2)

What is wrong with the meaning of life being subjective?

In Pihlstrom's essay, he analyzes two possible methods for determining meaning in life; one is the life of action and the other is the life of contemplation.  Both theories have their strengths and weaknesses, but neither theory is satisfactory to Pihlstrom.  He goes on to briefly acknowledge the possibility of a subjective meaning for life, and just as briefly dismisses it (although Jacob may have been right by suggesting that Pihlstrom was only acknowledging that it may be flawed.) Either way, Philstrom does not seriously entertain the notion of a subjective meaning for life.

It seems to me that the search for an objective life meaning ultimately ends up becoming a subjective one.  This is because we have yet to discover a basis for claiming that life has a meaning beyond that which we give it. Religious groups and philosophers alike have tried and failed to prove such a claim, yet it seems to be rather straightforward.  Until some higher power or universal force proclaims the meaning of life to everyone, in a way in which everyone can understand it, then there is no reference for a realistic type of objective meaning.  And it seems slightly ridiculous to try and imagine one without any evidence to support that idea.
