Does life have an objective meaning?
Is there an "absolute truth"?
How can an individual be sure he is following the true path?

meaning was generated for you by evolution in the form of pain and pleasure, humans can also generate meaning by inventing values and principles out of thin air

You are the only one who can answer those questions for yourself to accept them.

You need to create a way of interpreting everything so it makes sense to you.

Take care of updating this view of yours with every new meaningful experience that you think is important to add up, and don't be afraid to check if you need to rectify or back up on anything you previously believed if you feel like so.

That's what I do and I'm pretty happy.

There is no true paths, there's just a culmination of decisions. Nihilism is fit cowards finding no meaning in anything because they have dedicated themselves to a lack of inner purpose. if you ask if almost anything so complex has a concrete purpose, you'll arrive at the conclusion that there is. Philosophically it may be objective, but consider the subtle nuances of a life someone was genuinely satisfied with living.

"Life having a meaning" presuppose teleology.

"absolute truth" is an epistemological knightmare. You'd have to kill the Cartesian Demon to even start.

"True path" is a undefined term
