what is the meaning of life?

Answer 1

To Live / Work / Die...

With moments of emotions and sleep...

Answer 2

I think the meaning of life is to experience as many things you can and to see if you can overcome the obstacles while riding out the happy times. If you leave life better then when you came in -- you've done your part.

Answer 3

Other than the obvious answer...try to be happy.....I think we should develop whatever talent God has given us, help others when we can, love God's creation, live with peace and tolerance for those different than ourselves, and try to perfect ourselves to be worthy of entering the kingdom of God...
Aside from all that, enjoy good food, and party! Have a good time!

Answer 4

"The answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything is......42."

* ...to disprove the existence of a or all all gods

Other

* ...to achieve self-actualisation
* ...to contribute to collective meaning ("we" or "us") without having individual meaning ("I" or "me")
* ...to find a purpose, a "reason" for living that hopefully raises the quality of one's experience of life, or even life in general
* ...to live, and enjoy the passage of time
* ...to have fun
* ...to participate in the inevitable increase in entropy of the universe

* ...to relate, connect, or achieve unity with others
* ...to resolve all problems that one faces, or to ignore them and attempt to fully continue life without them, or to detach oneself from all problems faced (see Buddhism)
* ...to seek and find beauty
* ...as there is no intrinsic meaning to life, to each individual, the "meaning of life" is whatever he/she decides it is. In that sense, every point above is potentially valid.
* ...an answer to the question "What is the meaning of life?" is that it is just simply being able to ask the question, "What is the meaning of life?" (see Sri Sri Ravi Shankar below)
* ...a combination of any of the above.

No purpose, and therefore...

* ...to simply live until one dies (there is no universal or celestial purpose)
* ...just a series of events
* ...just nature taking its course
* ...the wheel of time keeps on turning
* ...the cycle of life
* ...whatever you see you see, as in "projection makes perception"
* ...there is no purpose or meaning whatsoever (see nihilism)
* ...who cares?
