Finally - an easy question. The meaning of life is helping others. There is nothing you can do which will bring you greater happiness in the long run than improving the quality of life of someone else. I have tried all kinds of self-indulgent stuff as well as tip-toeing around helping people, and when you just plunge in and give everything you've got to help someone and it works - that is the best feeling you can have in life. I define it as the meaning of life because it shows you who you are and what you can be - to yourself. The meaning of life is helping others. If you find a more worthwhile meaning, please share it with the rest of us. - Chris!

I ask this same question once in a meditation. The answer came clear as a bell.
It said I have placed you here to learn the true meaning of Love. What ever it was that was answering then told me something that really set me back. It said that I felt the way I did about certain people because I did not understand the true meaning of love. I protested and said that I did my best to love all of the people who were deserving of love.
It replied "yes that is your misunderstanding. You see love as something that you dole out in tiny little portions here and there to people who you have judged to be worthy of it. This is not love at all, it is only judgment". This stopped me dead in my tracks. I suddenly realized that what it was saying to me was true. This realization brought me to tears. It went
on and told me, "You treat love as though there is some shortage of it. It is not something that you can run out of. The more love that you give, the more love that there is in the world. Its that simple. The only way that there can be a shortage of it is if you hoard it and keep it to yourself."
It went on to explain, that "this is what Jesus was trying to tell you when he asked you to turn the other cheek, to judge not and to love your neighbor. He made no exceptions in these things that he requested of you. Why are you making exceptions, and judging some as worthy of love and others as not? Jesus fully intended for you to apply this love that you are to all, in a universal manner without any judgment of any sort". By this time the tears Were flowing freely. I was crying because for the first time in my life I Understood what the message Jesus left for us in the bible actually meant.
This has become my truth. I can't say what yours is for sure, but I have a feeling that it is probably similar.
Love and blessings

The meaning of life is to live in the moment.
Not to look back and regret the past.
Or look forward and fret about the future.
The only certain thing is death, so I guess we'll only find meaning in life if we actually start living, not put anything off to another day, and never sleep on an argument. All good stuff my grandmother told me, and she was a wise old soul.

The meaning of life...
I'll give it a shot. =]
The meaning of life is to find your reason for existing. Is it to set an example as others? To leave an impact on the world? Find your meaning in life.
Or the meaning of life could be to create the perfect nacho snack~

To get killed by the uncaring, mocking universe. I send out a thousand curses upon the day that I discovered life's meaning!

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 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 *true* meanings of life is to, love one another despite our differences, live life by walking in that love in everything we do and every decision we make, and three, to enjoy it! :)
