The characteristic state or condition of a living organism.\nis the defenition.\n\nI would say it's a series of events, with different emotions and experiances, try to have kids, survive, and die. everyone dies, think of all the living things that have died on this planet sents life began on it. try and hade a good happy life, or a sad evil life. choose your own religion, or not. \n\nMany things can happen to your body after death, rot, mummify, be petrified. I believe that if there is a soul that it is only energy and it is released into the surrounding elements. You make your own hell or heaven here and now. You might be brought back to life through future genetic research, but you would be totally different because of your surroundings.

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.

42 for the woodchuck thing but on the meaning of life, there is no certain meaning of life. it can be anyhting that you choose it to be, whether it is someone you life and your life was designed to be spent with this person. or maybe a certain talent you are good at and your life is purposed to perfect this skill. No one apart from you chooses your meaning of existence. As you get older you will get closer and closer to discovering why you were put on this Earth.

Life is meaningless. We have to create meaning in order to have meaning. Life would be darn boring if there's no meaning.

There isn't a true meaning of life, any more than there is a true meaning of rocks, or a true meaning of gravity.\n\nThis is not the same thing as saying life is pointless or worthless. It's what you aim for that counts - as the saying goes, shoot for the moon, and even if you miss you reach the stars. You have to agree with yourself which aims make sense, where you want to go - nobody can do this for you, they won't be the right ones. For me, coming to terms with the fact I can't do everything was the first step towards realising I can do something. \n\nMay you work out what your own personal something is, and exceed it!

because we have to.  Its part of life...In my personal opinion, the meaning of life is find happiness.  Nothing is better than love, NOTHING.  However, love being as great as it is, also hurts the most when it fails.  Im not sure if true love exists, but its worth looking for.  If you havent loved, then you havent lived.

No one can honestly answer this question for you. No one knows the meaning of life but I learned that you only have one chance in life and that you should make the most of it.
