What does it mean to ask what the meaning of life is? Is it the same as asking "what is the purpose of all life" or "what is the purpose of my life" or "what is the definition of life" or "what is God's purpose in createing life"?
I think that people have a hard time answering this question because they really don't know what the question is asking.

I may not answer ur ?, but I do know that life is a gift from God, and you shouldn't waste it, but you should live for God. We're only humans, nothing more. But I do know that God has a purpose, the purpose is for all humans being live an eternal life after we die, but unfortunately only a few will make it to eternal life.

I had a dream where my guardian angel introduced himself to me. I asked him. So, if you are my spirit guide, you know the meaning of life and he answered yes. So, I asked him, what is the meaning of life and in real life my alarm clock when off. At first I thought what a weird dream and then I realized, wow. He told me the meaning of life. Get up and live it. That's how we know the meaning. We live it. What's even cooler is that I know how beautiful my spirit guide is. However he presented himself to me in my dream, his soul is kind, humorous and educating. That's the meaning of life.
