What is the Meaning of Life?

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.\n\nThe meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.

Life is a multi-faceted concept. Life may refer to the ongoing process of which living things are a part, the period between the conception (or a point at which the entity can be considered to be an individualized being) and death of an organism, the condition of an entity that has been born (or reached the point in its existence at which it can be established to be alive) and has yet to die, and that which makes a living thing alive.

The meaning of Life is to help & sustain  each other humanbeing/ Life & make our living place a more happier than present status. Live & let live is the principle of LIFE.The goodness in each humanlife is personified as GOD. The soul of each person is devinepotential.Each person is having soul given by God, the Almighty.The God is omnipresent. Every humanbeing is a part of nature's creation.GOD is created by none,He is hidden in this world & also in your body like the plasurable warmth in the bathing water, like the sweetness of the fruit juice in tender plants,like the fragnance of flowers in their buds & like the love of a maiden i.e. her breasts & long hairs, in a female babe. There is a super power which controls the entire world order & happenings; this unseen super power is concieved by every humanbeing during his bad times & his misrease/distress & then he would try to  achieve for getting the eternal bliss i.e. 'MOKSH',(meaning getting freedom from re-birth & joining the super power/GOD for ever):

In my humble opinion, the meaning of life is whatever it means to the person.  Life can feel like a series of obstacles, one calamity after another.  Life can be one experience after another and how our reactions to those experiences make us feel about the quality or quantity of our life.  Are there a lot of friendships and relationships in our lives?  What is our reaction to what we ourselves choose to do in our lives?  Are we regretting the things we have done or are we regretting things undone?  The meaning of life is different for each person.\n\nTo me it comes down to making my own peace with myself and my Creator, Whoever or Whatever that means to me.  Each person makes their own way through life the best way they can with whatever they brought with them on this journey called life and I wish them all the best.

The purpose of life is to help the less fortunate and raise children, and to behave in a truthful and ethical manner.\n\nTherefore the meaning of life is to understand how to enhance the quality of life of others, and to do so.

To me, the meaning of life is to be happy and to do the right thing. I don't think that anybody should read something about how to live their own lives. Live your life the best way that you can and that's the only way that you can do it. My father died three days ago and now, I want to live my life to the fullest so it doesn't seem like I wasted it.

Life is being or existing in a constant state of mind and body.  The purpose of life varies based upon beliefs.  To some it is to be judged, to others it is to become one with the world, and for others life has no purpose, they exist and do the best they can.

You are basically asking what the meaning of life is.  I believe that we all have a purpose here.  The hard part is chosing the right path to follow in order to get where we are destined to be.

There is NO meaning of life. \n\nThis is a tipycal 'human' question, with a religious, metaphysical or morale sign. \n\nlet's take, for example, the answers given until now: \n\n- "The meaning of life is to be able to say at the end that the world is better off for your having been part of it."\nHow do define "better"??? Do you think some presidents don't think they are doing all they can to make this world a better (safer) place? Even when these people are destroying the planet, they believe, based on their values, they are doing something good (well, it is definitely good for their vice-presidents, but that's another story). Also, who do you think you are to determine if the world is a better place just because you passed by it? Our lives (average 75 years) are less than a second if put into perspective with the Earth's age... we are less relevant than a mosquito (individually, because as a group, humans are going to destroy the planet, which is also irrelevant, because there's no 'superior' being that would care about humans disappearing --as nobody cared when the dodos (a bird) disappeared).\n\n- "Well with most species it is to live to reproduce and continue your species... But I don't think that's what God has in mind." \nOf course this answer is ironical (good) when mentioning god, but also establishes that the meaning of life is to reproduce... While you can find a lot of pleasure in the process, defining it as the "meaning" shows you have the intention of finding a "plan" or a "mission"... and I think this is a metaphysical approach. But I tend to find the fight for food and reproduction as the main motors of everything that is alive (not the meaning of life, though).\n\n- "in a religious way, to pray for God..."\nNo comments. Obviously a human/intellectual/metaphysical approach to the question. God is an intellectual invention of men. \n\nsince men are conscious animals, they have the magical thinking that there must be a reason to be here. There is no 'reason'. If you think there is one, you would be accepting that there is a 'meaning', and then you would be having a religious position.\n\n- best answer for me: 42. This was Monty Python, right? hillarious!\n\nwhat do I know?

The meaning of life is to fufill your purpose. It could be encouraging people, or finding a cure that could save millions of lives. But the ultimate goal is to tell the world about Jesus Christ, and that all who call upon His name will be saved. Find a cool church/youth group and speak with a hard-core Bible believin' Jesus freak (like myself) if you wanna know more about it... OR feel free to talk to me! Take Care!

For the Monty Python film see The Meaning of Life\nThe philosophical question "What is the meaning of life?" means different things to different people. The vagueness of the query is inherent in the word "meaning", which opens the question to many interpretations, such as: "What is the origin of life?", "What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)?", "What is the significance of life?", "What is valuable in life?", and "What is the purpose of, or in, (one's) life?". These questions have resulted in a wide range of competing answers and arguments, from scientific theories, to philosophical, theological, and spiritual explanations.\n\nBottom line for me is that we are here and we should do the best that we can with whatever choices we make, the roads we travel and the experiences we are given.  While I believe in God, NO ONE REALLY KNOWS what any of this means, until they pass on.  There hasn't been any one who has died and come back to tell us all about it, so we won't know until we go there ourselves.
