There's nothing wrong when the mind perceives or acknowledges that 'life is good and meaningful' because of 'the presence of something good and meaningful or the absence of something bad and meaningless', or when the mind perceives or acknowledges that 'life is bad and meaningless' because of 'the absence of something good and meaningful or the presence of something bad and meaningless'.
Just that the mind is still being determined by the presence and absence of 'certain qualities of names and forms'. There's no freedom, as there's attachment towards the presence or the absence of certain qualities of names and forms to feel good and meaningful, or not. Even when the mind thinks and believes that 'life is so good and meaningful' or 'life is so bad and meaningless' due to 'the presence and absence of certain qualities of names and forms', all are subject to impermanence and selflessness. Whether it's 'good and meaningful' or 'bad and meaningless', all and everything will pass away.
Yoga and meditation practice is to allow the mind to see things as they are, and be free. Life is just what it is, as it is. Life is neither 'good and meaningful' nor 'bad and meaningless' being undetermined by the presence or absence of certain qualities of names and forms that are subject to impermanence and selflessness.
It's everyone's freedom for what they think and believe, and whether they want to be free, or not.
Some minds actually enjoy the state of restlessness, enjoy being determined by all the names and forms that are impermanent and selfless, where they would find moments of calmness, joyfulness, goodness and meaningfulness from time to time during those moments of 'life is good and meaningful' due to the presence or absence of certain qualities of names and forms, while trying their best to avoid coming in contact with anyone or anything that they perceive/believe/acknowledge as 'bad', 'negative' and 'meaningless', where they believe it will bring 'badness' or 'negativity' into their life if they come in contact with certain qualities of names and forms that they believe as 'bad' and 'negative'. That's their freedom, even though that's no freedom at all.
