No thing or being is outside of the time and place for which they exist. I am situated with preconditions beyond my control. And it is in these conditions that I am to live with and exist in.

Reality exists independently of it being perceived.
Matter, space, and time does what it does without it being understood.
What is perceived is the past is near the present and is never the future. There is always a delay.
This “is” is the thought of a time, whether it be a past, a present, or a future.

Imagine space to be without objects. Imagine that even you are not an object but somehow an experiencing mind or consciousness within such a reality. Whether you are moving or stationary you would not know. There would be no sense of space, and by extension no sense of time. In such an existence there would be no knowledge. You would not know even of your own non-physical existence.
Both space and time, as concepts, can only be understood with matter, their relationships, and their change in relationships.
We have a sense of self because of matter, inferred space and inferred time.

There is a difference between something being meaningless and something without meaning. The former is emotive and centralizes consciousness. The latter is a description of the neutral nature of the external world.
To be without meaning is to point out that meaning is projected on to the world by a meaning maker. It is a value judgement on the part of a conscious being.
To be meaningless is to forget that there is a judgement call being made. It is the projection of incredulity on to the world.
That is to say, what is being overlooked is that there is a meaning to the act of seeing the world as meaningless. The knee jerk reaction of existentialism separates out the internal world – the consciousness –from the world that the consciousness is inside, namely the so-called external world.
