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. -

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.....

Truth is thr true meaning of life. And the truth shall come to us through our very own experiences as we learn every possible emotion through experiance. In other words, We while here on earth in body form ( concidered to be Hell ) we will learn to be a pauper and live live accordingly. In another life time we will learn what it like to be a king and rule a kingdom, We will learn to rape and also be raped in others or the life time. Ypou can never say to anyone " I know how you feel" for you have not experienced the same experiences. You may have empathy and understanding however. Once you have experienced all that there is to as far as emotions go you will then advance to spirit form without having to be reborn ( sent back to hell ) this is also known as heaven. will no longer be subjected to the torments, agonys or pleasures of the body and will be absolutly free. You may know tjis freedom as an Angel, Guid or Oversoul which ever is your choice of terms. God is the source, and if he is in each and everyone of us then we must also be within him and it is to our self that we pray. Prayer is good as it brings about our manifestations but, be warned to be crefull of what you wish for, for it will manifest. In learning all of this YOU WILL MY FRIEND have then learned what truth means. TRUTH means LOVE and love is the meaning of life. Tha..Tha..Tha..Thats all folks. LOVE IS HAPPINESS

It's a self imposed question. There is no true ultimate "meaning" of life, suffice to say that its just a transition. Just like a dream ends and you come back to real life, life will end and you will come back to eternity. The real question is whether you lived life properly.

Learning from your mistakes, knowing your own faults, living life how you choose to live it, and finding someone to share life with.
