80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.
I've come to two conclusions recently:
1. Life has no meaning
2. Life has a million meanings.
First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.
Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things.

There is no one aim of life. God has plans for everyone. All I can work out so far is to be happy treat others with respect and live life to the fullest. Life is short, so make the most of it while you can.

The human mind has the ability to generate and conjure up a myriad of images, yet we can still share such similar themes in our dreams. This may serve to remind us that perhaps we are all not that different. Some psychologists have argued that our shared dream experiences serve to connect us as a human race. Human beings share common concerns, hopes, fears, and conflicts. this is the aim of life

The aim of life for the individual is to go through a journey of discovery and experience, all culminating in a fulfillment of purpose/destiny.
