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. -

I define "meaning" as the cause for our existence, or what is achieved or made any different by our simple existence.

What we know about ourselves is that we are here, and that we exist. We can hold things in our hands and realize that they take up space and mass therefore we are not an idea or whim floating around. I exist because I'm writing this and you exist because you are reading this, just as we know there is a tree falling somewhere on earth right now. A harder question to answer is what is our soul? As water trickles down over rocks and debris, we consider it be free flowing and of free-will. Actually, the direction the water takes can be mathematically calculated and understood. On the other had, people cannot be controlled, nor predictable by mathematics. We are strange creatures, we are the only entities that exist through pure free-will.

The answer to life is complex and unknowable, we live to perceive life that we may be able to define our own individual purposes, because at our current level of knowledge concerning the physics of the universe, that is as far as our knowledge of life exist. The depths of our purpose is never to be understood, it's something far more than we could ever fathom, otherwise obviously we would already know. Our best purpose in life is to live it with the universal compassion that is instilled within every human on earth. Taking in consideration the physical laws and endless size of the universe, the depths of human emotion, and the experiences of life, it's worth living, even if we just get a faint moment to exist in such a strange, strange world.

The meaning to life is this.
If we were to know the meaning of life, we would no longer have free will, our lives would be governed by this one answer. Mankind would surely fail as a result of knowing our purpose, for most would surely find whatever answer fruitless. The greatest mystery of life drives us because we cannot find the answer. This question is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the world, so complex and intricate. If this world were created in some fashion by a form of higher being, obviously whoever, whatever, entity did not intend for us to ever know the answer to why we exist for said reasons.

Who said you're alive? Maybe this is all one long dark comedy and the life you would like to think you have comes at the end of your existance. Or maybe it doesn't . Were you expecting a clear cut answer like something akin to a biological cycle?.there are plenty of organisms out there that are never born, nor die.so just the biological explanation to the meaning of life is quite shallow. And everything has been reduced to DNA and genetic expression so should the meaning of life be related to that for a few generations until somebody else discovers a new molcular reason behind life? It only goes to show how so many humans think only of themselves and their inventions when the question of why we are here comes to mind.Might as well go up to Olympus for this question to be answered.

Life hasn't just one meaning, it depends on the ages of everyone's life... the meaning of my life was not the same when I was a teenager, and won't be the current meaning among 30 years and over...

Probably, the common meaning of all ages could be:
to live in way that in future, looking back to the past, I'll never have regrets or remorses.

The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving 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. -

The meaning of life is that there is none. So make it whatever you want :-)

It's what each of us wants it to be. There is no pre-ordained rule on what meaning life can hold for you.

Good luck! Rob

99.9% activity we do in general are as same done by animals. like food, sex, and fighting/ compiting for space and life..
Then what makes us different is we have carving for infinite...since every thing in physical world is finite ...it wont make you happy in long term....Mental environment has infinite potential but human life span is finite....check for spiritual environment where both human and environment has infinite potential

I think searching for infinite is meaning of life
