Why do you need a meaning?

When we have to this human form of life, we must not simply waste time eating, sleeping, mating and defending, because animals also do that. Our real purpose is to inquire about Absolute Truth. As a result of sincere inquiry we come in contact with a bonafide spiritual master who then reveals the meaning of life to us. We are not these bodies. We are eternal spiritual beings. We must realize our eternal spiritual identity. Would you like to?

Not to get all religious on you...if your at a cross roads, I would imagine your sensitive to someone pulling out the bible and thumping you over the head with it....so please understand where I am coming from is a place of compassion and not judgment.
I have asked that question myself. Until a few years ago, I never had much of an answer that actually felt like an answer.
I have learned that the meaning of my life is to simply share the joy of Jesus with others. God has given you a life to live to it's very best. Get to know him, talk to him. Your life is a time of grace given to you.
Don't waste your time and efforts trying to figure out what others tell you life is all about...go to the manual, it's all right there.

This question gets asked so many times.
The meaning of life is different for every person. You just have to live your life to the fullest and treat all people with respect and dignity.

I was out sick that day.
I took a philosophy class in which the professor promised he would reveal the "key to the meaning of life." I missed class the day of the "great revelation."

Life itself..i.e., the meaning of life is the meaning we give it by living a good life.
Or, from a biological stand point. The meaning of life it is perpetuate you genetic material, either by having children yourself or by helping your close relatives' children survive.

to learn and to teach what you have learned. to advance the Cultures and Society to which you belong. to try and establish peace and harmony with those who don't agree with you. to try and be as true to your GOD and Religious Belief System as you can be while respecting those who differ in their GOD and Religious Belief System. to leave the world a little better than when you came into it.
