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. ^_^

Well, you don't think the whole universe works the way Earth does, do you? No! One species, one planet! There is a planet of deer, a planet of Asians, and so on! We put them all together on Earth and the whole universe tunes in to watch the fun!
Most of the races of Earth are descended from alien races, in order to create drama from racial tension from their unnatural cohabitation of the planet.
The purpose of our lives as humans is to entertain the life forms on other planets through the reality television show that they know as EARTH.
The only reason that the show was not cancelled, the planet of earth not demolished, and we are still alive after 100 episodes is because I blackmailed the Joozians who produce the show with some dirty pictures that Kenny took of them while they were high on blach.

Oh you should read the The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. That is a really good book. I am only on Chapter 8 but it makes so much sence. It helps you understand why you are here on earth and you reason.

To worship God. Eccl. 12:13: "The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard is, Fear the true God, and keep his commandments, for this is the whole obligation of man."
The way the earth and its living things were made shows that their Creator is a God of love who really cares. And his Word, the Bible, shows that he cares; it gives us the ultimate answers regarding the questions: Why are we here on earth? and, Where are we going?
3 The Bible shows that God prepared the earth especially with humans in mind. Isaiah 45:18 says regarding the earth that God “did not create it simply for nothing but formed it even to be inhabited.” And he provided the earth with everything that people would need, not just to exist, but to enjoy life to the full.—Genesis, chapters 1 and 2.
5 God made a large, park-like garden in an area called Eden, located in the Middle East. Then he “proceeded to take the man and settle him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to take care of it.” It was a paradise that contained all that the first humans would need to eat. And it included “every tree desirable to one’s sight and good for food,” as well as other vegetation and the many interesting kinds of animal life.—Genesis 2:7-9, 15.
7 Moreover, God gave a wonderful mandate to the first pair while they were in Eden: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth.” (Genesis 1:28) So they would be able to reproduce and bring forth perfect children. And as the human population increased, they would have the delightful work of expanding the boundaries of the original parklike, paradise area of Eden. Ultimately, the entire earth would be developed into a paradise, inhabited by perfect, happy people who could live forever. The Bible informs us that after setting all of this in motion, “God saw everything he had made and, look! it was very good.”—Genesis 1:31; see also Psalm 118:17.
8 It is evident that humans were to use the subdued earth for their benefit. But this was to be done in a responsible way. Humans were to be respectful stewards of the earth, not the despoilers of it. The destruction of the earth that we witness today is against God’s will, and those who share in it are going contrary to the purpose of life on earth. They will have to pay the penalty for that, for the Bible says that God will “bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”—Revelation 11:18.
Still God’s Purpose
9 Thus, from the beginning it was God’s purpose for a perfect human family to dwell on earth forever in a paradise. And it is still his purpose! Without fail, that purpose will be fulfilled. The Bible states: “Jehovah of armies has sworn, saying: ‘Surely just as I have figured, so it must occur; and just as I have counseled, that is what will come true.’” “I have even spoken it; I shall also bring it in. I have formed it, I shall also do it.”—Isaiah 14:24; 46:11.
10 Jesus Christ spoke about God’s purpose to restore a paradise on earth when he told a certain man who wanted hope for the future: “You will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43.) The apostle Peter too spoke of the coming new world when he foretold: “There are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to God’s promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell.”—2Â Peter 3:13.
The psalmist David also wrote about the incoming new world and how long it would endure. He foretold: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29) That is why Jesus promised: “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.”—Matthew 5:5.
12 What a grand prospect that is, living forever on a paradise earth free from all wickedness, crime, sickness, sorrow, and pain! In the final book of the Bible, God’s prophetic Word summarizes this grand purpose by declaring: “God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” It adds: “And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Also, he says: ‘Write, because these words are faithful and true.’”—Revelation 21:4, 5.
13 Yes, God has a grand purpose in mind. It will be a new world of righteousness, an eternal paradise, foretold by the One who can and will do what he promises, for his “words are faithful and true.”

Before getting into the meaning, let us learn why living
-God well was to create a very special creature who has the well to choose and the capacity to reason through questioning so that this creature worship God in a special way. This is us.
-Because we were given the capacity of reason and the well to choose, we are challenged by devil to divert us from God path.
- God created everything to worship him and to have a certian function to perform while existed.
-Our function is to develop this planet through utilizing all other creatures that were assigned to serve us as Sun, Moon, Stars, Energy,animals, mountains, sea, etc.
- Life means your life-time from birth to your death.
-Thus it means how to make use of your life-time on this planet, so that you can harvest what you accomplish as well as enjoy God mercy on Judgement day if your accomplishments are good.
-Who does not believe in God, and yet accomplish seeking only harvest while living, God will reward them for their accomplishments during their life only because God is fair.
-You are given certain level of Energy and capacity and you will be asked how well did you invest these resources.
So if having the purpose of life and its meaning should guide you all the way to what path you would purse.
