u knoe what i think the meaning of life is? It is to test you on what you are living for, if you can withstand the pressures being put on you, and who you put at the head of your life.

"Well, it's nothing very special.
Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations"
- Monty Python's 'The Meaning of Life'
And if anyone says 42 I'm gonna whap them over the head with a copy of HGTTG. The number 42 is the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. It says nothing about the meaning of life. And anyone who thinks otherwise is not a true HH nerd.

Life has no meaning, just as the sky being blue doesn't mean a thing. We are the only creatures that need to find meaning in things, because we think that to understand we need to reason and analyze. So, what is the meaning of a baby smiling, or of rain falling? You can explain how and why those things happen, but they only have the meaning that you give to them. Just as when there is thunder in the sky: some people might believe their god is angry, because of the noise that makes them be afraid, while others may rejoice for they know that thunder means storms, and water, and a good crop. It depends on you to give meaning to life if you want to, but for me, life's meaning is simply, being alive.

Life is a quest, and like all quests it can be more or less well. It is the search for the best life to live, for that life which leads to human flourishing. It requires those virtues which we need if we are to overcome those harms and dangers which threaten to hurt or divide us. The meaning of life, then, is the meaning which all quests share.

it's a false question. life doesn't have to have a meaning. Life is a state of universal equality. life in humans has its many views from oneself. some view it as their personal way of living. some view it as being alive as in health. others view it as living condition surrounding them, etc.
whatever views a person there may be, life has only one answer. Life itself will always remain. Earth may one day be gone. but Life will always continue. For it is the only true in the whole universe.

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. -

Honestly, I don't know - I haven't figured it out yet.
I believe in God and honestly, I don't know.
I just enjoy my life as much as I can and try to be a just, respectable, kind, loving person. That's the best I can do!

It depends on the person. If you asked what everyone wants out of life, I'd say to be happy or to enjoy life.

No meaning whatsoever, except as defined by self. We're born. We live to whatever means and ends we wish. We die.
Any individual's "meaning" may go undefined, or may be, say, a wish to help the poor, make money, have fun, etc.
