If somebody, somewhere, somehow figured it out... I'd have to call them a liar.

I totally agree with you. These people are looking for an answer to make their path easy in life. The meaning of life for every individual is different. Life is a journey that you've got to draw lessons from until you die and that's it. Even if you are a born again Christian and have the Bible as a guideline, you've still got lots to figure out as you go through life's journey. So I say to tall those people - there's no easy way out. Find intellectual stuff to delve into, stay as positive as you possible can, surround yourself with positive things and people, keep seeking knowledge.
Very good question

I ask this same question about the meaning of life 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 and a person's purpose in life are two different thoughts. Noone can make a statement that encompass' all the diverse peoples' of the universe. If it were possible the question would have been answered eons ago.

If someone, somewhere figured out the meaning of life, another person would stand up and ask what the meaning of their answer is, I am sure.

We all want to know why we're really here. If there is a meaning to life, the best answer I could come up with is that we're put here to try to make the world better than it was when we came. Whether or not we succeed is up to future generations to decide.

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. -

In my opinion, each person is born with a God given void, and will ask this question until they allow HIm to come in and make them whole. He gives us free will, is a Gentleman, and waits to be received. Our true purpose on this beautiful earth is to glorify our Creator, but you will not accept that or believe it until you accept His love. It's all about loving and being loved in return. I think the answer is obvious and I'm being 100% truthful.

Because we are not all blond headed Sagittarian bimbos. Some of us need to think. And if someone figured it out it would not be a blond headed Sagittarian bimbo. And if I'm wrong I would not apologise to any blond headed Sagittarian bimbo.

Because they are curious about what their purpose is, or becasue they feel they haven't really figured out for what they were born or are whiling away their time for.

We are wired by God to ask what the meaning of life is.
