Choose God, he'll give your life meaning. If not that, at least do something that brings purpose to your life such as doing good things for others without wanting things in return. Find the beauty in things and choose the simple things in life.

If your looking for meaning in life elsewhere,,,,you will never find it as it isn't a thing or a place etc. The fact that you are breathing and not in some kind of pain physically should be a start. Everything that is good will come with a price or some sort of suffering, ie: For a woman to have children, she must go through child birth. To have money, you must suffer saving(going without) or working extra hours or 2 jobs etc. To have a healthy body, you must eat right and exercise. As Plato wrote in, "The Republic" The story of a slave that grew up in the mines. He never saw the sun. One day he is freed and walks to the cave entrance. The sun was so bright to him it hurt. He returned to the cave not wanting to suffer in order to get used to the sun.
So don't look at life in the big picture,, but accept the little things to be thankful for,,like accepting yourself, then go help somebody! You'll feel great!

i just asked myself that same question. not the loveless part but the meaningful part...ive asked myself that like how many times a day for the past how many years...and it always boils down to this quote
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” <--- i just found that today. WHAT MAKES YOU COME ALIVE? i think that holds the answer to having a meaningful life. and you know the other thing that you're going to need to achieve this in life? COURAGE. that simple. i hope we find them. and in the meantime, smell the roses. ;)

Choose to live a meaningful life, helping others and helping yourself. Enjoy the moment. And smile.

The phrase ; "and die loveless" implies that the "we" in the statement was denied love. To die surrounded by love you MUST "bank"(deposit) love in your family and in those you live and work with . Then, it is returned with "interest." There is no better investment.

Not allowing our financial income to define us helps. So does valuing human relationships more than our relationship with money.
Less fear and control.... More love and respect
