It is best not to probe into the question of an absolute meaning for existence as we are no different than a butterfly that is here today and gone tomorrow with no major significance outside of the fact that collectively we are able to recapture traces of earlier generations through historical, archaeological, and paleological records of one form or another and are able to advance technology and further scientific understandings. The important thing is to live a compassionate existence, to seek to improve the lives of others who happen to fall into your lap by chance, seek to be less needy, more self contained, and independent, and to enjoy the small things in life like a gentle wind hitting one's face. The latter is important as to get caught up in one's ambitions and agenda and rush around the planet never really appreciating or contemplating life is horrible. Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living and he is right. Don't be troubled by life's baffling questions that cannot be understood. Just play with them for possible answers and that is enough. Please look at Aristotle's Ethics and Plato's Republic. Aristotle teaches us about intellectual virtue like contemplation and the rational principle that we must develop and about emotional virtue which is the mean between opposites. He teaches us also about how we are supposed to be friends to others. Plato teaches us about how to create a well ordered soul of the three elements and a well sturctured society of the same merit. Read these books at least twice. These were wonderful and brilliant men.

Life is to be enjoyed, life is a journey , life is a gift, life is what you make it.
Life can be a struggle, life can be ended too soon, life is about choices.
Life's has as many meanings as there are people.

Don't get too caught up in searching for "the meaning" that you forget to live it. Who cares what it means? Go and have fun. Time is running out.

To ask questions on Yahoo answers...I'm just kidding. It's actually to drink beer and make a fool of yourself.
WHo knows really? By the time you figure life out...you die...that is if you get to be old.

Actually, the only meaning to life is to pass your genetic material along and ensure the survival of the species. Any other answer is just wishful thinking and denial of the reality of our existence.

A difference you make. Make a mark on people, live a good life, help others and wear sunscreen.
