I assume it's not a matter of accepting "Life is pointless" as the truth; it's more not believing "Life is pointless" to be the truth in the first place. So
The concept of "accepting" a falsehood ("Life is pointless") wouldn't make sense.
The concept of viewing one's main focus in life as just "a distraction" wouldn't make sense.
The concept of looking at "hard questions" that have already been answered wouldn't make sense.

Personally, my assumption as to whether life is pointless varies over time. Sometimes, I see my meditation practice as something I do just because. Other times, I assume it's important.
