You allocating a particular meaning to your life's actions does not mean that other's allocate that same meaning; you're making an unjustified logical leap.

I'm not trying to say others have to accept anyone's chosen meaning.

I'm saying you could not legitimately argue to them that their choices are wrong, philosophically speaking.

You can say "tons of us hate this", but that doesn't get you much of a leg to stand on, really.

They still get to choose what they want their meaning to be, and if it's in violent conflict with yours, there's nothing further to be done but avoid each other and fight when the situation and your respective values make it unavoidable.
