You'd have to ask the one who made it, if you wanna find that out, OP.
Including humanities to /his/ was a mistake.
Also anyone else thinking the mountains in the back completely ruin that picture? They're so out of place.

The mountains are certainly unnecessary. The whole thing is a bit cluttered. The inclusion of familiar forms of houses really undermines the general "alienness" which seems to be the point. Everything else also fails to really attain this. It is all just familiar forms (mushrooms, mountains, moons, etc.) which have altered sizes and colors. The whole thing, however, is very trite and unoriginal. It's vulgar, almost, with how overstated it's idea is and how thoughtlessly it's created. I mean for fuck's sake, even World of Warcraft has a zone (Zangarmarsh) that's basically this painting.

And so does Martin salligman but they are both psychologists too

This is the main focus of the Existentialists and Absurdists.
May I suggest you to read "Existencialism is a humanism" by Sartre?

why does it matter if meaning is self-made or not, what matters is it is correct and I'm not wasting my time

Build a remaining legacy, something that´s still there when you kick the bucket. Have children that remember you and try to be as good as a father as you were; build the Anon-Monument, that will still stand long after the light of human civilization has dimmed on the planet or overthrow your local government, so that future generations of children will have to remember the date of King Anon I´s rise to powe, or otherwise fail their history test and curse your name.
I think I will go with the children thing, you can have one of the other two.
