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.

This is a question requiring a thesis. The question means different things to different people. The vagueness of the query is inherent in the word "meaning", which opens the question to many interpretations, such as: "What is life?', "What is the origin of life?", "What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)?", "What is the significance of life?", "What is valuable in life?", and "What is the purpose of, or in, (one's) life?". These questions have given rise to a wide range of competing answers and arguments, from scientific theories, to philosophical, theological, and spiritual explications. I actually have a work-in-progress research paper for academic journal publication on this very theme: What is the meaning of life?Try to understand the complex nature of your question which may require a very expansive answer.

life is a term we use to try and understand our existence, are we not in the same space and time as something we call dead, a rock could have as much purpose as an entire life of what we call living, therefore we do not have a meaning of life to explain but why do we observe our reality if it only exists as electrical impulses that make up the holographic images we call memories in our own heads

Not gonna bother going to that site, whatever it is. the ONLY meaning to life is what it means to an individual. nothing else matters does it?
