What is the meaning of life? I spoke to the i-God and He says it's not 47, so what is it?

I could never top this excellent answer that I received for a similar question (from YahooGuru4u), so I quote it here verbatim. Of course, I ruled out the answer "42."\n\n"Darn you. You sucked me in with your question, then I get here and I see 42 is already taken. Now we really have to go on a trip and I'm without a towel. Well ok, let me see what I can come up with, shooting from the hip as it were.\n\nMy best guess is that the meaning of life, the universe and everything is "MORE". The quest for more seems to be at the center of all living creatures. All organizations be they organic or manmade seem to be trying to get "more". The universe itself is expanding, so I am told. As for "everything" anything that should happen to get created instantly becomes part of everything, so even everything seems to crave more. Yes I think I'll stick with the answer "MORE". What? Wait, just a minute, my wife is yelling something from the kitchen......\n\n(long pause).....Hello I'm back again. My wife says the answer is "LESS" She says life is always moving toward death which by it's very nature is less life. The universe is made up of a limited quantity of everything and it is being used up also, so you have less now than in the past, and as for "everything" Well since everything gets used, you must have less of everything now than there was in the beginning.\n\nSo my wife and I will agree to disagree and say that the answer is: More or Less, or possibly More and Less. I guess that's pretty much the same as 42 because 4 is more and 2 is less. I'm getting a pain just behind my left eye from all of this thinking.\n\nWhat!? Just a minute, my wife is yelling again!........ I'm back. She said I'd better get off this Yahoo Answers thing and come to the table if I want any dinner. I told her that I'll never have to come back to Yahoo Answers again because I just pretty much summed up life, the universe and everything. I'd better hurry if I want more to eat and less yelling. So long and thanks for all the fishes."\n\nHappy Answering,\n~Tia~\nLive from the big, purple brain\nhttp://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html\nASK YOUR QUESTIONS, CALL THE BRAIN - 212-382-3592

The best way to know the meaning of life is increasing your AWARENESS. If you do that, you will become to be a better writer. May you please let me know when you think you started to be formed? Does Mahoma started to be formed before you? No All of us started to be formed at the same time than the Universe, than means 15 billions years ago in order to create Life, your Life. So you are more valuable than a Star, than the Universe, and your Life would last as much as 77 years. Please take care of yourself and do not waste your wonderful body and time, Please. As a gift for you find my book "AWARENESS, The Meaning of Life" (VANTAGE PRESS, NY, NY) complete and free of charge in my URL

As it has always been,I think the meaning of life is a personal thing,to you it could mean having a happy family,being a good friend,pursueing all your dreams,falling in love,or just doing the best that you can in whatever you do in your own life~just be the best person you can be. Good luck my friend!

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!

The meaning of life. It seems to be such a broad and unanswerable subject. But it's as simple as one scripture in the Bible.\nThis is found Ecclesiastes 12:13.\nSolomon was wise and extremely wealthy. He had it all and did it all, and that scripture is his comment on what the meaning of his life had come to be.\n\nFear God. Obey God's commandments*\nThat is my reason for living...getting to know God and his commandments, developing a wholesome fear of him (fear of displeasing him).\n\n*not just the 10 Commandments...the best way for us to obey His commandments is to examine how Jesus led his life and do our best to immitate that, as well as follow his council.

what's the real meaning of life?

You should listen to your friend - once you realize that god is imaginary, you'll find that you are free, and you will also know that this life is what matters and is what is most pecious.  Once you die, that's it.  You only get to live beyond your death if you have children that you've passed your DNA onto too

I am the great "I AM."  I am the Alpha and the Omega.  I am the beginning and the end.  God is infinite / eternal.  God has no beginning and has no end.  God always was and always will be.\n\nLike you, my logical mind said, "TILT" because I had never seen anything without beginnings or boundaries.  One night I was looking for the Ring Nebula in the constellation Lyra and inadvertantly peered into deep space - all black.  \n\nWhat was I looking at?  I was looking a distance without end.. without an ending or a beginning.  I cannot comprehend infinity but I do acknowledge that it exists because I can see it.  By the same token, the infinite God of Abraham is without beginning or without end.\n\nAbraham's belief was counted to him as righteousness.\n\nYours is too.\n\nJohnny

look are religion does not worship death, we worship god, godhead three in one, father, spirit, son. think about this logically, god made tI'me for us to use, do you honestly believe god has a time, if you live life for eternity, what would time mean? this lifetime that you choose to live freely, is a blimp to god "time wise" death is only the beginning definitely not the end. so choose it wisely because one day you will stand before god and confess your sins, and tell him why you chose to do so. \nim not trying to criticize anything I'm just trying to help sorry if i offended you in any way, i apologize
