The meaning of life is always staring you in the face, and the less likely the blind following of a all powerful being makes sense to you. Not to say smart people are unhappy but it takes a little more imagination.
Calling an ugly person ugly is still an insult in polite society, no matter how true it may be. The same applies to calling people dumb.

You sound like a 'the glass is half empty' person also. I know better than most just how stuck on Earth we currently are, I know better than most just how small my 130kg is in the great scheme of things, and I know better than most all the myriad ways that a life can end, but I do not see this as either reason for sadness or proof of the lack of God. If all you can see in the meaning of life is that you contribute to the heat death of the universe, I feel sorry for you.
