Even though the meaning of life is supposedly non-existent, i have always wondered what people think on the matter.

This is the first time in my existence I have been giving the oppurtunity to be a creator. This is a school for creation/ invention/ imagination/ and experience. The things I learn here I will take to a new experience or quite possibly be able to create a new world in which others could inhabit
I could get technical and explain why we have freewill and what that really means but finding out is half the adventure

There must be some purpose. There must have been some path or person we passed that we influenced them to the better, without even knowing it!
Maybe evening learning by our mistakes!
Could also be that the lessons we learn that we have not learned from are to be a continuous circle until we achieve it correctly.
Maybe also, there is reincarnation!
Anyway, I thought after all these years that my meaning of life was to save the abused animals. Through much heartbreak I've found out differently!

The meaning of life to me is to make, your life the best you can and try and do as much good in your life as you can everyone has a purpose in life you just have to find out what that purpose is. Live every day as it comes and never plan ahead. Another words live life to the max and enjoy as you'll only get one chance at it. Carpe Diem

In the beginning, before matter and time, there was only God. God was everything that existed and there was nothing that existed that was not God. God was composed entirely of the energy we call Love, and was aware of his own divinity. Being a singularity prevented God from EXPERIENCING his own divinity, in the same way you may KNOW yourself to be generous but cannot EXPERIENCE BEING generous unless there is someone separate from you to whom you can give generously.
So God divided himself into an infinite number of individuations, created within them a self idenity by causing them to forget they are actually part of the All and a manifestation of God, and granted them free will so they may experience all that they choose to experience.
You are here as an individuation of God so that you may experience all that you choose to experience on your path back to the One, at which point you will give your experiences as a gift to the Creator and he will welcome you back as a loving father welcomes a long lost child.
There are no wrong turns, no one can be lost on the way home. The only gurantee in the universe is unspeakable joy and love. You can take as much time as you wish to find it.

I dont think that life has a specific purpose. I think that we are all a result of causality... and of all the beings on the earth we are the only ones self aware. We try to put purpose to our lives because we understand that we are alive. In nature our purposes is to eat breed and die. I think that being self aware also gives us certain self-imposed purposes. I think we owe it to the rest of sentient mankind to pursue peace and knowldege. I think we should aspire to be enligtended and involved in as much that we can. Life should be a wild fun filled ride up to the last second when we go crashing all banged up into the grave,screaming "yahoo" all the way...

I don't like to think that life has no meaning, but at times I do believe that. I feel that the purpose of life is to make it meaningful. I try to figure out what my purpose is and attempt to keep that purpose in mind and work towards it. It's sort of like justifying my existence.

Your opinion is truthful, in your own way. Everyone has a different path to follow, and we all choose different things. I have no real choice myself, so that is why I go around answering all these questions, to see what other people believe. We are all human, by chance, and because we are human, we live up to our own expectations.

I don't think its something we really find the answer to - I believe looking for the answer provides us with new questions to take us forward to a point of understanding. Although this understanding of life will differ for each us.

My view is that there is not a "Meaning of Life". There is no one universal definition and the meaning is personal to each individual... no two will be alike. The meaning is unique like we are.
