what is the meaning of life, really?

Answer 1

the meaning of life is to live for others, sacrifice for others.the meaning of life is to enjoy every minute by looking at the rising sun , dew drops on the peaces of grass in the morning, listening to the songs by unknown birds, by not doing harm either physically or mentally to other people, and by lending our hand to the needy people.

Answer 2

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.

To be or not to be? "To be" is temporary and "not to be" is inevitable.....

Answer 3

Life is meaning less, we have to create our own meaning in life and find someone we would live or die for.

Answer 4

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.

I believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.

You need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.

The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us. -

Answer 5

Life is a function of the universe. Ironically, life feeds on life in order to perpetuate ...life.

Answer 6

"There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor.": Ecclesiastes

That pretty much sums it up as neatly as possible. The entire book of Ecclesiastes deals with this particular problem, and the beauty of it is that you needn't be a Christian or Jew to agree with its underlying philosophy: it trancends oragnized religions.
