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.

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.....

To be the best person you can become. If you can't love all of your fellow man, at least be tolerant of them- you know, live and let live. Be kind to all the animals that come your way.Respect Mother Nature- never take out what you can't help put back. Don't be wasteful, and don't take things for granted- Mother Earth only has so much to give: once it's gone, it's gone. Live, love and laugh every day. Don't squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. Treat every day like it's your last, because one day, you'll be right!

The philosophical question "What is the meaning of life?" means different things to different people. It is widely considered a 'false question' as 'meaning' is believed to be something outside reality or at least outside our possible knowledge. The vagueness of the query is inherent in the word "meaning", which opens the question to many interpretations, such as: "What is the origin of life?", "What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)?", "What is the significance of life?", "What is valuable in life?", and "What is the purpose of, or in, (one's) life?". These questions have resulted in a wide range of competing answers and arguments, from scientific theories, to philosophical, theological, and spiritual explanations.

life is feeling pain, anger , love , knowledge, wisdom, hatred, lust, envy, powerful, powerless, weak, proud. it is what you make out of your own individual person and how you are able to resist the negative emotions and be strong and keep standing up when you fall down. It lies within YOU!!

The meaning of life...hmmm...well for me I live to serve the Lord. He gave His life for me...I love Him for it...and because of that I reach out to love the hurting and lonely that He places in my life. Be Blessed.
