What is the meaning of life?

Answer 2

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."

"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. My 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...... (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. So 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. What!? 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."

Happy Answering,

Answer 4

The meaning of life, as most things do, comes with a story. One day after the end of World War 2, a German, Jewish boy found a piece of broken glass from an old Nazi motorcycle mirror. The boy, being interested, picked up the piece of glass and decided to take it home with him. He sanded down the edges of the glass to make it into a circle that he could carry around. The boy liked to reflect the sunlight off of this mirror into all the dark corners that he saw. Every day of his life, this boy, who eventually grew into a man would take his mirror and shine light into the dark corners of the rooms that he was in. This anecdote applies to the meaning of life. Out of all of the disaster and destruction, one can find hope. The true meaning of life it to take your light as a person, and to shine it into the dark corners of others lives therefore brightening up the world.

Answer 5

"Meaning" implies intent. Nothing can "mean" anything unless the meaning was intentionally formed and communicated by some intelligence. If you're religious, you can find out what that meaning is in the works of your particular religion. If you're secular, you must assume that life can't have meaning, because it was not created intentionally. Asking "What is the meaning of life" is like asking "What is the meaning of that tree" or "What is the meaning of viral herpes". Trees and viruses don't have meanings; they have functions. In the same manner life has a function that is self-evident: to live. The functions of life serve to continue life, to preserve life, and to produce more life.

Hope that helps.
