What Is the Meaning Of Life?

Question

Well?

Answer 1

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.....

For me at least the meaning of life has to be universal. Family can't be it because some people are orphans and die alone. Friends and love is the same deal. As far as I can figure the meaning of life is to die. Nothing else happens to every single beaing on the planet. (That's including plants and animals. They're alive too and are life applies to them as well.)
If you hate this outlook then don't adopt it. But that's what it is for me.

Answer 5

LIVE FOR WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO DIE FOR

"Looking back over my whole life, unquestionably the best period was being a member of the Jewish underground. True, much of it was a miserable existence. But every moment I was completely alive. I was living for something that I was willing to die for."

Living only for material pleasure and comfort is not really living. We also need to understand the deeper existential meaning of life. Sooner or later, every human being is faced with the cold, hard reality: "What's my life all about?"

If you want to live, be real. Know what you are willing to die for. Then you are genuinely alive, and able to truly achieve the highest form of pleasure from living.

Answer 6

The meaning of life is Unconditional Love. The purpose of life is to awaken to your unity with God in unconditional love within your own heart. Your supreme duty is to express that to the best of your ability. Well?

Answer 7

Well the meaning of YOUR LIFE not sure, the meaning of my life is to make the best of it, strive for achieving all my goals and make as happy as I can my children and loved ones. You see, is not about the meaning of life in general what you have to search for, rather search for the meaning and worthiness of your OWN life.

Answer 9

Deep question.

Life means experience.

We give our own meaning through what we have experienced, what we know, what we expect, what we have learned, what we think.

Mostly it means being.

It's all very simple in a complex way.

We are all connected.

We each assign meaning to our experiences.

Life means living, experiencing, enjoying.

Just a thought.

Peace.
