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.

So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion.

God created us to have an intimate love relationship with Him, closer than any father, mother, friend and much longer lasting. This doesn't mean following a religion, it means loving Him enough to want to do what He wants (Him being big enough to call matter and time into being where there was none with a sinlge word) and to want to not do what he finds offensive. It means being free from worrying about acceptance (God will always forgive, yeah, He loves you that much), not restricted by laws. It means having the hugest, most powerful, most loving and most perfect thing ever on your side, ready to defend you, help you, comfort you and guide you.
These are all good things. If you wanna know more, talk to me.
p.s. such a wide question needs a very wide answer.

You get born, probably into a family who will either challenge you or give you a good headstart in life. You live - by making mistakes; and having successes; learning to love and learning to forgive after someone has screwed you over. Then you die - and your soul goes to heaven to be then moved up the spiritual ladder so that next time you are born you can do things better. The better you get, the wiser you are and you can help others move up the spiritual ladder with you. Until one fine day, we all are joined again to be One.

When you have learned to look beyond yourself you will find peace of mind is waiting there and you will see you are really only very small and life goes on within you and without you.

Life is about this is about life.

Close your eyes and repeat and repeat.

It's also a really humorous Film by Monty Python Featuring the classical musical number "Every Sperm is Sacred".

Every sperm is sacred every sperm is great if a sperm is wasted God gets quite irrate.

Life is a highly complex system of definable physical and chemical structures capable of utilizing environmental matter and energy in order to perform basic life processes such as growth and reproduction. Therefore, there is no "meaning." It only is.

Life is a breakfast cereal made of whole grain oats, distributed by the Quaker Oats Company. It was introduced in the year 1961.

Life was popularized during the 1970s by an ad campaign featuring "Mikey," a finicky four-year-old who "hates everything." The commercials featured the catch phrase "He likes it! Hey Mikey!" The ad campaign ran from 1972 to 1984, becoming one of the longest running and popular commercials of all time. The "Mikey" character became so engrained in the consciousness of American popular culture that urban legends began to develop surrounding the actors in the commercial. The most popular urban legend was that the actor who portrayed "Mikey" had died from eating Pop Rocks while drinking Coca-Cola. According to the urban legend, "Mikey" had a liver condition, and the mixing of Pop Rocks and Coca-Cola caused his liver to fail. In reality, John Gilchrist, who played "Mikey," is still alive and works as an advertising account manager in New York. The other kids in the "Mikey" commercial were Gilchrist's brothers in real life, and are also still alive.

In 1978, Cinnamon Life was introduced. Today Cinnamon Life comprises one third of total Life sales. Twenty five years after the release of Cinnamon Life, Honey Graham Life was added to the brand, and recently, Life has added a fourth flavor, Life Vanilla Yogurt Crunch.

The cereal's advertisements sport the slogan "Life is full of surprises".

The meaning is to be sugary and delicious.

We are spiritual beings who have elected to have the experience of being human. We choose to have this learning experience because in the spiritual world that is our home and to which we all return, we have no way of knowing about everything that comes with a physical body in a physical world. I believe that we have particular lessons that we want to learn in our lives and that we have free will in those choices and how we respond to them. Our lives here are about our relationships.

Living it fully. You live to learn. The meaning of life is to experience things and learn. You can enjoy different activities, different foods, different people. It is living life to the fullest without many regrets. It is enjoying yourself regularly.
