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 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. -

Life can be a property of matter. Matter that is alive, or life forms are organisms of a vast variety. Properties common to the known organisms found on Earth – plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea and bacteria – are that they are carbon-and-water-based, are cellular with complex organization, undergo metabolism, possess a capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and, through natural selection, adapt to their environment in succeeding generations.
An entity with the above properties is considered to be an organism. However, not every definition of life considers all of these properties to be essential. For example, the capacity for descent with modification is often taken as the only essential property of life. This definition notably includes viruses, which do not qualify under narrower definitions as they are acellular and do not metabolise. Broader definitions of life may also include theoretical non-carbon-based life and other alternative biology.

Meaning of life is to be born from reproduction, live your live as best you can,surviving it and enjoying it,helping as you can others along the way and given the chance or claiming the chance, leaving your mark on existence somehow so that others following know that you existed. There is no afterlife but that which you bequeath your descendants, heaven is a fable dreamed up by frightened people gazing into the darkness and unable to cope with what they envisaged.

by doing things that increase our own long-term fitness, taking into account the fitness of the systems (society, ecosystems) to which we belong. Enhancing long-term fitness is the fundamental good, or basic value of our philosophical system.
in this context it normally means our present being here on earth, but this may be generalized to include life as a particular type of organization and development characterizing biological organisms, and even more universally as organization and development in general.

it depends on how you see life itself
it could be subjective or objective in nature
philosophical or spiritually inclined
could be a burden or a blessing
could be a curse or a grace from God
a time to loose yourself or wallow in your woes
or a chance to redeem yourself and be proud
that at least you have made a mark of your self in this world
before everyhing vanishes
including the very spirit
that is you....
the meaning of life- is the essence of life...
have you lived yours yet?

The meaning of life is to do something good to others and live a helpful life to others.This means you shouldn't go and help each and everyone.Planting a tree is helpful to others,but maybe for the future generations to come.

The meaning of life is to contribute something to the world that only you, and no one else, can offer. You are in this life not to find yourself, but to create yourself.
((And what does 42 mean??))

the meaning of life is when you are satisfied and happy. Not only when you're around friends and family, but specially within yourself. When you are not looking for the emptiness in your heart or your purpose in life. my "emptiness" are my children and husband, therefore they are my life. now i am living.
life is living for your loved ones. to do good to others. and so on...
