Kierkegaard was a pretty good Christian, wasn't he? For him, there would have to be meaning.

As for my own response to his statement: individuals create their own meaning, and you don't need to bring sociology or class distinctions to the topic. If a guy is obsessed with matchbooks and does nothing but collect them for his entire life and feels a little bit more fulfilled with each one he acquires, then his life is meaningful. Doesn't matter whether he had to work for them or was given them.
