True, we are born to die. However, look at it as a long journey (hopefully) towards that destination. The way I see it, you shouldn't think of where you are headed but what you're going to do on the way. Make life a fun adventure. You learn, you play, you help, you love, and so on. Do everything you can in the amount of time you are given, and remember to be kind and caring along the way, and maybe it'll catch on and the world will be a happy place again.

80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.

I've come to two conclusions recently:

1. Life has no meaning
2. Life has a million meanings.

First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.

Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping others and other 'feel good' kinds of things.
