Life makes U fly, life makes U fall down, life gives U wings, life kills U., so, how can you not love life?
Life is like a race you win only when you're loved, an endless trap where you're captured.
Life is learning. Life is teaching. Life is like a rose with thorns...

Are you asking to find out the opinions of others or actually looking for answers to guide your own thoughts on the matter?
If it's the former, then I say "Life" just is - it has no intrinsic meaning.
If you're looking for information to help in your own decision, then I'd like to point out that saying "Life has no meaning" is NOT to say that an individual's life can have no meaning. However, the meaning of a person's life is something that each must discover/determine/decide for oneself and probably over the course of a lifetime. There are no quick, easy answers.
Many people do, of course, believe that the meaning of life is found in the worship of a higher power. If you're looking for alternate schools of thought, however, there are many secular philosophies. Have you tried looking up Humanism? Have you read Mark Twain? How about Epicureus - or the Beatles, for that matter? :o)
It's interesting; only human beings (who are able to conceive of "life" and of it having a meaning) are concerned with the "meaning" of life. All other life forms merely live.

To ask the question WHY. We are the first species on this planet to evolve to the point where we can abstract enough to ask that question. As an individual and a species, we must fulfill the quest to evolve beyond the point where we try to answer this question with silly god concepts . It is the search for real answers that is the journey of Humanity and we should be humble enough to realize it is a cumulative trip that no one human can hope to answer.

In my opinion life is just an illusion that u have to figure out how to explore and understand. But in all cases u have to accomodate with the circumstances that life provides u and do best with it in order to have a happy life. If u have a wild imagination no matter how rich or poor u r but u will have a happy life.

No one can ever no the meaning of life until they are at the end. It is at the end when you look back on what you have accomplished that you see there was meaning.
Life is what you make of it. Make it something you want to look back on and remember.

There is no secular awnser...only spiritual.
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."(Revelation 4:11)
It may not be the answer your looking for but it's the right answer.

That question is alway phrased as though the answer could be a noun. It is not. It is a verb;
The journey.

Every rose has a thorn
Every night has its dawn
Every cowboy sings a sad sad song
