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. -

This is a question I always ask myself.."what purpose is my existance here?" When i die there will be no headlines like James Brown. There might be a 6 x 6 section in the local newspaper that most people skip over so they don't get depressed about thier own mortality. We get up, work, come home, the same thing everyday. Only the rich can afford to make time to do all the fun things & experience life to the fullest. They alone have the time to do whatever they wish. I often feel like a bubble just waiting to be poped floating in the winds of nothingness.....Where is my purpose?...What is the reason I am here?.....I don't know but maybe my space in existance should be filled with someone else who can use it better. Instead of me just floating.....

The Question: “What is the meaning of life?” makes no sense. That’s why you’re getting so many nonsensical answers. You will never find an answer to satisfy everyone and it is not an objective question. Put a Christian, an atheist and a Buddhist in a room. You’ll never get an answer to satisfy even two of them. 42 is as good an answer as any.
The correct question to be asking is: “What is the meaning of my life?”, or “What do I want to do with myself in the long term”. So what you need to do is live your life creatively and find out what
your purpose is, what gives you a sense of meaning. And you’re the only one that can do that.

As it has been said the meaning of life is 42 and when traveling thru dimensions other than our own it is always wise to bring along your own towel and a pillow.
So long and Thanks for all the fish.
But seriously the meaning is defined by the asker of the question. It would vary from one person to the next, what has meaning for me does not necessarily have meaning for you savvy?

To uncover as much as we can about how everything works before our time runs out. The more we get figured out, the longer we'll survive as a species. And what other purpose could there be but to keep on as a species until we've got everything figured out? We must all know this inherently because we revere people from the past who've made great discoveries or explored places no one else had been before.

I do not care really. To me life is pointless; honestly, why are we here? So we can get jobs, and wake up every day at a certain time to go and do something we are most likely not going to enjoy. We will spend half our lives living in misery trying to please other people, and the chances of our joy are highly limited. Why are we here? to reproduce? But why should we reproduce?1 I believe we are put on earth solely to die, and the smart people speed up the process!

The statement "to serve god" I believe is not the correct term to use. We are born into a world to better understand the world and ourselves. To serve god means we are the slaves of understanding and we are prevented or abondoned to reach our goals and dreams. To "believe in god" may be the key but is still not the correct truth of life. We may or may not be destined to reach our goals but we all have a mind to at least picture our future of our goals. If god was cruel, then I could say we are all probably destined to serve god. But in my opinion, I believe that is not so because we are destined to create our own road, and for some, to reach God.

the meaning of life is unconditional love, the purpose of life is to awaken your union with God in unconditional love within your heart. your supreme duty in life is to express this unconditional love to the best of your ability.
