What is the meaning of life? The question itself contains a word that is a misnomer. The word "life" should actually read "death" since this existence that we all like to call "life" is really "death." We all reside in the world of the dead, in "Hades" or "Hell," if you will. And of course, the dead know nothing, hence the reason we're continually asking, "What is the meaning of life?" Since we're inquiring of the dead, we get no sure replies.
If we’re ever fortunate enough to be raised to life, then we’ll know it. Those receiving the gift of life and resurrected will no longer have to ask, "What is the meaning of life?" Being alive, they also will have knowledge and the answer to the question before it's even asked.

According to which dictionary?? Websters?? Just messing with ya...The meaning of life is up to the individual. To me, my faith is my life and everything just kinda falls into place after that.

What you make it to be.
Honestly, to me the meaning of life is death....and all the time in between is for us to choose what we want to do with it. For me, my choice is to help others, that's why I am going to school to be a 10th grade world history teacher...I want to help and make a difference, because that's what makes me happy

Life is finding the Lord, and living for him. I like to think of life as a test. How we live our life, and weather or not we follow or do what God wants us to, determines weAther or not we go to heaven.
We live to have a relationship with God, and to be his children and followers. To spread his word, and live it.

You, my friend, are the meaning of life. Look now at your hands, see how they are just you! Look at your friends, feel how much you love them. Look at your mom and dad, see how proud they are of you!
You, are the meaning of life!
Good luck!

To be the best you can be by your standards - no one elses.

Doing the next right thing.
