What is the meaning of life?

Question

The meaning of life......what is the meaning?

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 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.....

The meaning of life would certainly be different for each individual; don't you think? So, you are asking for someone else's meaning in life because you can't find yours? Let me give you something else to believe in:
LIFE is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out and proclaiming, WOW! WHAT A RIDE. Maybe we , as humans, worry too much about the meaning of this so called life instead of LIVING IT! Go live life...

Answer 4

It is to laugh often as much as you can, able to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, earning the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, appreciating the beauty and finding the best in others, leaving the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition, and knowing even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

Answer 5

Yes I think that life for repeat offenders is good.I mean cause most of these murders could have been prevented if the killers would have stayed in jail. I can relate to the victims families. My friend was killed in 1997 and they have no leads.An I know sometimes the jury lets them off but come on if the guy or girl killed more than once you know hes going to do it again.

Answer 8

That question has no meaning.
Your question should be stated as: What is the meaning of your life? and of course only you can answer that.

Answer 9

the meaning of life is to experience the world, the beauty of creation and the evil. It is something that you have to go through to get the true meaning of the universe....

Answer 10

Heed my words. We all exist for our own personal reasons. The life were living now is the life we have to live in order to realize and or do something that we need to do.
