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?

life is a discovery...of yourself...your desires...your ambitions....your destiny....\n\nand of everything that can ever be....\n\nlife is a melody, a mystery, an expression, a story, a rhythm, a puzzle, a reflection...life is an awareness of the cosmic soul

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.

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.

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 Meaning of Life is the answer to this question:\n\nGod, what is Your purpose of Existence?\n\nFor God's purpose of Existence itself defines the purpose of all that exists.\n\nI asked God that question...\n\nGod answered, "My purpose of Existence is To give life. Since you are made in My image after My likeness, then YOUR purpose of existence is to give life."\n\nEverything that exists is an expression of God's thinking; thus, everything reflects God's thinking.\n\nGod gives life by His unique existence, and receives life when He gives life. All of existence gives life by its unique existence to that which receives life from its unique existence. This is Nature - the union of all living (eternal) things.\n\nYou are here to give life by your unique existence to that which receives life from your unique existence. So do what you love that nourishes those who love what you love.\n\nThis is your purpose.\n\nMatthew 10.32-39 \n\nWhosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. \n\nFor I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. \n\nAnd he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. \n\nIn the context of the scriptures above that statement, those who love (whose allegiance is) to anything or anyone above Christ doesn't love Christ, and are therefore of no value to Christ. In other words, Christ denies them.\n\nLuke 6.46 \n\nAnd why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?  \n\nMatthew 7.21-23\n\nNot every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. \n\nMatthew 15.8 \n\nThis people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.  \n\nTitus 1.16 \n\nThey profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.  \n\nMatthew 10.38, 39\n\nAnd he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. \n\nTo NOT take one's cross to follow Christ is to NOT choose to suffer persecution for rejecting the things of this world for Christ's sake.\n\nMatthew 5.10-16 \n\nBlessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. \n\nYe are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, tha

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

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. The purpose of life is a life of purpose. ^_^

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.

Life is what you make of it. We're all here for a reason, but that reason is different for every single one of us. The purpose of us living is to fulfill the above, to find out the reason we're here and achieve the goal in satisfying ourselves that we've found out that reason and completed it.
