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.

The journey of life is a mixture of good and bad. Nevermind for bad happenings;definitely good follows bad and every sorry in life will turn into pleasure. If one dont experience bad there is no life and life does not having meaning without bad. One should experience both. That is life.

I am feeling pretty helpless while answering this question because I don't know what actually is the meaning of life. Several times, I have asked this question to myself but until now I haven't got the answer to this great question.

All things are but God expressing his vision of himself.From the human perspective life is about growing in spiritual awareness.

Pleasure.
Good food, great sex, a beauitful day, spending time with loved ones, learning something that interests you, traveling, good music...anything that brightens up your day. I believe that this life is all that we have, and while I am here, I am going to take advantage of every enjoyable activity that I can.

There is none.
Nothing.
Non-existant.
Purpose is a human fabrication: a fallacy. It doesn't apply to life nor existance in any way.

life is giving experiment in this world.
world is test place.
this world is farm of next life.
all you sow in this world , you will reap in next life,
if you do good , you will be in paradise , and else you be in hell.
