what is the meaning of life?

Answer 1

hmmmmm......am still trying to figure that one out...We can only do the best we can in life...Life=living

Answer 2

Oh, Robert, not you, too! Are you searching for your meaning in life or mine? or every body's meaning in life?

I hate to be the first to tell you this but the meaning of life question cannot be answered...it is MOOT. Now, if you wanna ask the purpose of life well, then we could go a good round on that one.

There can never be just a one complete sentence meaning for the meaning of life that would/could fit everyone in the universe. We are all from different lives/different cultures so the diversity itself lends to there not being an exact answer. The American Indian Tribes meaning in life would be very different from my hillbilly two-seater outhouse life....understand? Only God knows the true meaning of life. Why not venture into a prayer and question God? Maybe He will let you know what the true answer is for YOU!

Don't you think that if it were answerable that you would all ready have an answer? and you wouldn't need to ask as this question has been asked for EONS. Have a nice day!

Answer 3

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 4

I have read an essay about this question. It goes a little something like this.

What is the meaning of life?.. As I was sitting on my desk, trying to accumulate all the knowledge I have for me to be able to give justice to this question, i thought, what defenition of life do I know?.. If I would refer to the dictionary, then life is the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally. But I think there's more to life than just scientific whatsoever. I think life is far beyond, what science can explain.

In my opinion, my life is very important.. how important?.. well, life is like role-playing.. Its like, an epic movie, without rehearsals and I am the center hero. Without me, there will be no great achievements, no impressive battles, no dramatic encounters.. without me, there wouldn't be a story at all.. THATS how important I am.

God gave me this role to play. God also gave me free will and its up to me, how I would like to portray my role. I can make my role more attractive. I can tell the truth. I can taste. I can smell. I can feel pain. I can't make all things happen. I can't please everybody. I can do anything that I want in this world.

But the best part of my role is that I can love. I can do great things. I can help those in need. I can do many good deeds in this small place that we live in. I will value peoples lives. I can even save lives if my knowledge permits me to. and lastly, I have strong faith in God.

And if I attain these celebrated things, I will be awarded something that no amount of money could buy. The honor of eternity beside God.

But only hero's are awarded this enchanted experience. So, be the hero in your own epic story.

Answer 5

Life means to me is fulfilling resposibilities, dealing with difficulties, at the same time it's about loving, sharing your good and sad moments.
Most of the time people ask 'why it happen to me only' specially during facing bad time of their life but you know what if you have to shine like gold you have to go through fire. Every problem that you come across makes you more stronger, more experienced, so why afraid of it.
Some people think life is difficult and death is easy one, so be brave and choose the difficult task and prove your self.

Answer 6

Life has no meaning, only humans tried to look for that mysterious meaning that we belif it is hidden somewhere and waiting for us to discover it.

Life doesnt talk : we cant assume that life is this,life tells us this,while it is not a ''speaker'' only humans speak,and believe me,it is not the best way to communicate and not the most efficient ones,but we live with it just fine I guess !

Life doesnt care about us : we always think that we are being punished by something bad happening to us,whereis it is all in our mind,nobody cares what you do and why,it is a manifestation of the ego to claim that we are important and being sent bad or good events.

Life is just ''is'' : live with it,learn all along ,and choose to just ''be'' as well !

Answer 7

Meaning of life is to be in a constant search for the meaning of life. No one has been beyond this so far. And if at all anyone has been also, he/she has never shared the knowledge. Karma is the only way ! And it is foolish to expect results out of your actions. Not our cup of tea !

Answer 8

No human really knows the actual meaning of life, since we aren't the ones who designed Life.
So all one can do is live, to die.

Answer 9

Watch Monty Pythons "The Meaning of Life" that'll explain everything.

Answer 10

Every bodys answers are going to be different. Its all on how you look at it and perceive things. I dont think there is a set answer to this, all I can say is while you are alive, live life to the fullest, be happy, do cry sometimes, and its never going to hurt someone to feel a little bit of pain. We have all felt that way and the only thing left to do is keep living. Thanks and god bless you. xox

Answer 11

such bitterness...
such hopelessness...

You won't have meaning until you find purpose!
I recently learned what I consider to be an awesome quote.
This quote defines my purpose.

John Wesley puts it simply:

“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”

Simple, profound, and yes, possible.
