This one question "meaning of Life" is the most asked question on the Internet. Why?
Every Human Being wants to know and understand the Philosophy behind the meaning of Life! Why are we here... what is the purpose of our living on Mother Earth... what is the real meaning of Life? The queries are numerous... there has got to be a justification for our living. What is the basis of existence of Life on planet Earth?
Before we indulge into knowing "the meaning of Life" we need to understand Life itself. How do we differentiate between a mortal (living being) and an immobile material (having no Life within)? For this we need to start from the beginning of the Cosmos itself... The time of the big bang!
At the time of the big bang when God, the Almighty Creator which is but the size of half a thumb explodes itself... all Atmans (Souls) get scattered all over the cosmos and in doing this they lose their pristine purity and as a ball coated with honey gathers dust while rolling... these Atmans (Souls) also get impregnated with impurities. This is the fundamental cause of Life... if these Atmans (Souls) had remained pure all the time... the need for Life in whole of the cosmos would not have arisen.
These Atmans (Souls) in their cosmic journey now need a body so that they can purify themselves and come back to their original pristine form. These Atmans (Souls) do not have the power to purify themselves without the aid of any external body. They need a body to work out its Karma and in the process the dross within the Atman soul shall get removed.
Let me explain this further but before that I need to explain the definition of God.
At the time of pralaya as we call it in Hinduism (the time of complete dissolution of the cosmos)... the total cosmos which consists of many universes dissolves back into its original pristine form... this is the form we know as God, the Almighty Creator! The size of the whole cosmos at this moment of time is half the size of a thumb, which is nothing else, but the collection of all purified Atmans (Souls) in the cosmos.
For purifying themselves why do the Atmans (Souls) need a body? This feature can be explained further by the example of mining.
If I need to extract one KG of pure gold (say an individual purified Atman in its pristine pure form) from a lump of hundred KG of gold ore then I need to pass the lump of hundred KG of gold ore through the requisite mining process. It is absolutely clear that this one KG of pure gold can not on its own separate itself out from the hundred KG of gold ore without the help of an external medium... it needs requisite machinery to remove the 99 KG of dross within the ore.
Similarly, the unpurified Atman the soul within cannot on its own remove the dross within... it needs an external medium... a body in order to come back to its original pristine form. And in the process... this so-called impure Atman is required to manifest a body, which consists of a long chain of manifestations... a total of 8.4 Million manifestations and a Life cycle of 96.4 Million earthly years... a long journey indeed!

The meaning of life, in general, is survival and procreation. On a human level it expands to how we relate to our fellow humans. We tend to think of the meaning of life as a pursuit toward a quality of life which has different meanings for each human. I believe that the meaning lies in our intertwining with other lives and how that contact affects those around us. Have we bettered the common good? Or have we only pursued our own base needs?

Yes I consider that lifestyles for repeat offenders is well.I imply reason some of these murders might were avoided if the killers could have stayed in prison. I can relate to the sufferers households. My buddy used to be killed in 1997 and they have got no leads.An I understand routinely the jury permits them to off however come on if the man or lady killed greater than as soon as you realize hes going to do it once more.

Read the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. It's like Solomon's memoir of how money, women, and power (the"perfect life") were unsatisfying and empty. He eventually found meaning and purpose in God.

To choose between God or Satan.
The first time 1/3 of God's creation followed satan. God could of destroyed the 1/3, but decided to create this 2nd earth age to let us grow up innocent of what happened the 1st earth age, and choose,,(again), God or satan.
Genesis 1:1 That's when it happened.
Genesis 1:2 God started this earth age

It is meaningless from an outside view point. We were not created. Our parents simply had sex. However, being self aware, we are free to interpret our circumstances and find meaning however we see fit.

I think life is to help other people have a descent and proper time here on earth while they are alive. Life is to love people (brotherly/sisterly love) and to make sure everyone is treated special. That's what I think...
