If youre wondering what the meaning of your life is.... try imagining the meaning of life as an elephant in the wild.
EAT, SURVIVE, REPRODUCE. and that is all to it.
And us humans have the EXACT same basic purpose in life. The main purpose of life itself is really pretty simple... to survive and to ensure the survival of the species. BUT we have something different that animals do not. We have way superior thinking abilities compared to them. We can DO SO MUCH MORE than just the basics in life... unlike the animals that are still stuck doing exactly what their ancestors are doing. Unlike them... we can build up knowledge from the generations before.
So I think... whoever asks again.. "What Is The Meaning of Life" and feel depressed about it... is just not using their brains to their advantage. Because.. A HUMAN CAN DO SO MUCH MORE THAN AN ANIMAL.
So I guess... the meaning of life for me is to achieve my set goals (other than the basics) and be happy and to live a life of meaning.
