The purpose of life is to give pleasure to the Supreme life, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the reason we exist. We are His eternal, spiritual energy, and our constitutional position is to serve His desires. At the present time we find ourselves covered by material bodies and minds and therefore bewildered by the illusory energy. In this state we think we are these temporary bodies and minds. With this misidentification as the basis for our consciousness, how can we know what is the purpose of our life? If a madman thinks himself to be someone he is not, how can he understand what he should or should not do? First we have to understand who we are before we can know what the purpose of our life is.
There are basically two paths. One path is to think we are the body and when the body dies we are finished also. In that view, what possible purpose could anyone's life have? If we all return to dust in the end, any endeavor to make sense of life is just a madman's game. Instead of having a true purpose in life, the rationale becomes simply to 'enjoy' life, which is nothing more than animal life.
On the other hand, if we are actually eternal and the body is just the vehicle we have for a few years, then our purpose becomes very clear. Our purpose is to understand our eternal nature and what our relationship is to the Supreme. This is the process of self-realization-- purification of consciousness. The advantage of human life is that we are able to inquire about the Absolute Truth and the purpose of life. The animals and other lower life forms cannot do this. But if in the human life a person doesn't make this inquiry, he is no better than an animal.

The meaning of life is the way the sun peeks through the top of your sunglasses as your legs are stretched on the sand. The water beading down your beer the say the sweat beads down the attractive man/woman sauntering along the surf while the smell of the bbq wats through your nose.
Okay that might not be the meaning, but that's what makes it worthwhile.

He has some hidden injury / soreness that he blames on you. I think of he basically believes it. He resents the perceived impact which you have had on his occupation, and, as a result, his life. It does no longer mean he does not love you or that he does not prefer to be with you. It skill he has been injury with the help of you, and he's probable nursing that injury all the extra considering that he might sense which you do no longer even get it. Or, it ought to be that he gave up "some thing" / made some style of decision against some thing with the aid of fact he replaced into attempting to thrill you, who he loves. suggestions you, this does not inevitably propose which you have carried out something incorrect. It basically skill that he sounds such as you have. Or, it ought to be no longer something. i do no longer likely comprehend, i'm basically giving some suggestions.

the meaning of life is... death!
If you are religious then you go through life preparing for an ultimate end to your being, either by going to heaven, hell, reincarnated, purgatory or whatever. everything you do in life decides what happens to ya afterwards and you form a moral code for yourself to live by to strive your goal of achieving the best afterlife possible.
other people live their lives knowing they are going to die so therefor make the most of what they have left. Not knowing if tomorrow is their last day.
Finally other people do what they can to avoid the inevitable. they change their lives to prevent death from happening sooner. Diets, staying out of the sun, stay away from drugs, don't walk down dark alleys... ect.
so therefor the meaning of life must be death since it seems like the ultimate goal of life is to defy it or to except it.

I get mine from the book Physics of Immortality by Frank Tipler, a physicist---my interpretation is: God must allow suffering in humans because it would be like going back in time and preventing your great-grandparents from being born. In the meantime, distract yourself with as many enthusiams as possible...you will live forever and your life now as a human will be worth it

All you need to know about life you can learn from duct tape. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together. Oh...and pizza. Duct tape and pizza.

The purpose of life is to reproduce and evolve. The meaning is what you make it, what do you want to achieve? If you can concieve, you can achieve.
