hate to be the one to tell you , but you wont find the meaning of life here, and no one will be able to tell you what it is either.  the meaning of life is different to each person, so what may be your best friends meaning of life, may not be yours, you have to figure that one out on your own.

What does life mean to you? You have to give life meaning for it to have one. Your lifes meaning is a reflection of yourself.

"What is the meaning of life?" is a question many people ask themselves at some point during their lives. Some people believe that the meaning of life is one or more of the following:\n\nSurvival and temporal success\n\n...to accumulate wealth and increase social status \n...to compete or co-operate with others \n...to destroy others who harm you, or to practice nonviolence and nonresistance \n...to gain and exercise power \n...to leave a legacy, such as a work of art or a book \n...to produce offspring through sexual reproduction \n...to seek freedom, either physically, mentally or financially \n...to seek happiness and flourish, experience pleasure or celebrate \n...to survive, including the pursuit of immortality through scientific means (see life extension) \nWisdom and knowledge\n\n...to be without question, or to keep asking questions \n...to learn from one's own and others' mistakes \n...to seek truth, knowledge, understanding, or wisdom \n...to explore, to expand beyond our frontiers \n...to try to discover and understand the meaning of life \nEthical\n\n...to express compassion \n...to live in peace with each other, and in harmony with our natural environment (see utopia) \n...to give and receive love \n...to seek and acquire virtue, to live a virtuous life \n...to serve others, or do good deeds \n...to work for justice and democracy \nEsoteric/Other\n\n...to achieve a supernatural connection within the natural context \n...to achieve enlightenment and inner peace \n...to advance natural human evolution, or to contribute to the gene pool of the human race \n...to advance technological evolution, or to actively develop the future human \n...to become God, or God-like \n...to contribute to collective meaning ("we" or "us") without having individual meaning ("I" or "me") \n...to die, or become a martyr \n...to experience existence from an infinite number of perspectives in order to expand the consciousness of all there is (i.e. God) \n...to find a purpose, a "reason" for living that hopefully raises the quality of one's experience of life, or even life in general \n...to give life meaning (an example of antimetabole, though this has little impact on its accuracy) \n...to produce useful structure in the universe over and above consumption (see net creativity) \n...to pursue a dream, vision, or destiny \n...to relate, connect, or achieve unity with others \n...to seek and find beauty \n...to simply live until one dies (there is no universal or celestial purpose, existence has no meaning beyond which one chooses to give it) \n...to worship, serve, or achieve union with God \n...to live and enjoy the passage of time \n...to own a megaphone

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.

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!

To give life.\n\nThe 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.

To me life is how you make it. As humans we only know so far that we have one life. Ever day i choose to get even when the previous day was horrible. With all the bad things that have happened to me a my young age i am greatful for my life. Life is complicated yet it is simple. It is the good and the bad times. It is the decison that you make to get up to breathe to even eat. Life is all that we see, hear, think, smell, etc. It is all. Life has no meaning it is to me a defintaion to all other things.

Life has no meaning other than what you, the individual make of it. The answer is different for each individual.

The meaning of life is quite simply to find your love and be with that person. Everything else revolves around money and money is the source of most evils in this world.\n\nBut seriously, why spend your life preparing yourself for death and the afterlife? Why not worry about that after you die, when you have eternity to do so?

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\nAs human beings, we all ask the question: Who am I? Who am I meant to become? What is my value or destiny as a human being? Who will become for me the model of my humanity? Pope John Paul II told us that ultimately JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANSWER to these questions. Christ is the living blueprint and pattern for our humanity. Jesus Christ reveals our meaning to us.\n\nThus Pope John Paul II, quoting Vatican II in his Redeemer of the Human Race, wrote: "Christ...fully reveals man to himself and brings to light his most high calling." "In Christ and through Christ," the pope added, all are enabled to come to "full awareness of their dignity...and of the meaning of their existence."\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\nEach of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.

you mean what is the meaning of life on earth?  what is our purpose? who knows, and why does it matter anyway?  \n\nIt's nice to ponder on such things, but we don't actually NEED all the answers in life to live a fulfilling happy existence anyway.

Nice question ...shows that you are a SEEKER ....seeker of truth and you will see your path on your own .......that is what I can say the true meaning of life.......\nWe feel we are born in this world with so many people attractions nicety's evil etc but we are born ACTUALLY only with one thing as I feel OUR JOURNEY IN THIS LIFE ....rest everything is just the side dish and not the main SALAD :)\n\nFor me the true meaning of life is when you realise your self and you  do that by uniting with your INNER selF ...through meditation ...now meditation is not a technique like a pizza made at pizza hut like do steps 1 to 10 and you delicious pizza is ready kind of but meditation is being AWARE of your thoughts and SEEING your thoughts and through that process you start to SEE  your REAL self, one which does not take birth nor dies but is eternal....Realization of your self by meditation would LEAD to in my opinion UNDERSTANDING the true meaing of LIFE ......\nNice question so simple but very deeeep !1\nBless urself to bless this world !
