I heard a great story about a test given in a philosophy course.
The test was an essay exam with only one question:
"What is the meaning of life?"
The student that stayed the longest handed in, after two hour an essay that read as follows:
"Life is."
That student recieved an A.

The REAL meaning of life is, in this filthy world, is to worship Jehovah and also to preach about his Kingdom, or the new world as some people view it.
The ORIGINAL meaning of life, before Adam and Eve sinned, was to fill the Earth and cultivate the rest of it, as the Garden of Eden was kinda small.

it ends.....
There may be no meaning at all.....
Or, It could be that we are the successful result of an ancient alien race's attempt to give the gift of intellegence to a primative planet that they themselves couldn't live on. And, why? Maybe they were dying out, from disease or pollution on their homeworld.
Or, if you are a religious person, (I'm not) the bible says we were created in order to entertain God. He was bored with the angels apparently, who for some reason don't have free will. Lucifer did though, go figure.

Whatever meaning you want to give it. but
if you decide to give it one (or even if you don't)make sure that that meaning or lack of, involves loving the simple pleasures in life......and also keeping an open mind and risking to love others and to be yourself at all times and to never stop growing as a person. and etc. etc. :))

I know when you typed this, other suggestions came up as this has been asked numerous times. The meaning of life is between you and God and the tasks God has set out for you.

To find the answer to the question, "What is the meaning of life?" For everyone the answer is different. For me it is to survive how I can, and to make things easier for those that come after me.

Life is given to you from an higher authority, it is a blessing, a gift, to be able to experince the many years you live between life and death...so live happy, long, prosperous, and every moment as if it were your last.

Life is a purple antelope on a field of tuna fish kicking a one-legged jackal. Ok, how about this one: After 10 ^-43rd sec ATB (After The Bang) at nearly infinite density and temperature, when the electromagnetic force, gravity, and the strong and weak nuclear forces were all the same, a symmetry-breaking event occurred and the four forces went their separate ways, strength-wise. Three dimensions started to expand and seven other dimensions curled up and became extremely small. Influenced by these curled up dimensions, and by time, one-dimensional strings vibrated in patterns that manifested in our three dimensions and in time as leptons (quarks, electrons, neutrinos). At 10 ^-35 ATB a brief inflationary period caused the universe, now the size of a beach ball, to expand at an exponential rate. Neutrinos were uncoupled (neutrino refrigeration) from the plasma (which scientists like to refer to as "quark soup"). Not too long thereafter, two up quarks and one down quark bonded through messenger particle gluons to make the baryonic proton, and two down quarks and one up quark bonded to make baryonic neutrons. Apparently, non-baryonic matter also was around (dark matter, about which we know diddly-squat). Some 100,000 years later the temperature and density dropped down enough to where protons could capture electrons and form atoms. At this point photons (light) were free to travel and what was an opaque (dark) universe became transparent, and there was light, which has been traveling ever since. We can still see the echoes of this photon decoupling, called the cosmic background radiation. The first stars started forming (bottom up theory) or the first galaxies formed (top down theory) about 1 billion years ATB, composed only of hydrogen, helium, and some lithium. These first stars, or in the case of galaxies, quasars, formed from the condensing and cooled molecular cloud remnants from the primordial plasma's expansion. These vast molecular clouds started clumping together through gravitational attraction, and when the gravitational weight got heavy enough, at the center of this contraction the temperature rose. When it got to about 100 million degrees, hydrogen fusion was possible, releasing enough energy to push out against the weight of gravity, and a star is born. If the star is big enough, its core won't stop at hydrogen fusion, it will start buring the helium ash through nuclear fusion, work its way up through oxygen, carbon, and other metals, until it gets to iron. Then the star either explodes and seeds the space around it with new metal-rich molecular clouds for the next generation of stars, or, if the star is massive enough, gravity may win out over nuclear fusion and keep compressing the star to a point where even degenerate matter (white dwarf stars) is overwhelmed by the force of gravity, and despite the Pauli principle, electrons are forced into their respective protons, neutralizing the atoms and creating a neutron star. If the star is still too big (>4 solar masses maybe), even neutron pressure cannot stop the collapse of gravity and we have a black hole. About 9 billion years ATB, in the Orion arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, a new sun was born and around it was stuff left over from the molecular cloud that didn't condense enough to form a sun. That stuff around the new sun is called a planetary nebula, and within that planetary nebula, in a few 100 million years, planets started to coalesce from dust particles sticking together. Some large molecular gas accretions weren't big enough to form a star, so instead we have gas giants, our planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, which are basically failed stars. On the rocky planets, like our earth, when comets struck it, lots of water was added to the planetary makeup. Soon, molecular biology came into its own, organic compounds did their thing, and soon complex organic systems formed, as in microbes. The rest is evolution. Even though the 2nd law of theromdynamics says entropy increases over time, in open systems it is the opposite, and in local areas, it is possible for highly-ordered, lower entropy things to form, like inchworms and human beings. And here you are, the paragon of creation, asking what is the meaning of life. Look up at the night sky and ponder. Then go and reproduce, or something. Not that it matters.
