....There is no meaning we are simply creations of nature, there is no meaning to life and if people feel there is its because they desperately want to cling onto thier belief that they have a purpose maybe mothers have purposes towards htier children, but generally humans serve no purpose only to themselves, people are scared of addmitting they have no reason for being on this planet, even progress isnt a purpose its just a lifeline

There is no set meaning of life. We decide what the meaning of OUR life is. Our choices decide whether or not we want to be poor as hell living on the streets or whether we want to live an absolutely glamorious life.

People has different point of view regarding on what is really the meaning of life. The meaning of life to me is to serve God and follow His will. I have faith that solely base on the bible so as a basis I will quote some verses coming from the bible.
Long time ago a wise man said this “Ecclesiastes 1:2 -14 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. “
If we will read the entire book of Ecclesiastes we will see that Solomon searching for “what is the purpose” or ”the meaning of life”. He do everything what his heart desire/wants but in the end he got one conclusion for what is the meaning or purpose of life: And he wrote “Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
And I believe in what Solomon’s believe in.

The only meaning to life is what you make it. We were not born with a specific purpose in mind for us. The is no destiny, not master plan for your life. You make decisions that effects every other decision some good some bad ..In the end all there is , is Death

Life is just one endless journey.You have lot of happiness, sorrow,laughter pain etc on your journey to see what's there at the end.Some feel there is a pot of gold, some feelthere is a rainbow but the only truth is DEATH.And that is the absolute truth.So in the end if you atre nt going to take nything with you,thenthe struggle for power is meaningless.

If you don't think you were created, then indeed there is no meaning to life. Nor can we create for ourselves a meaning because we didn't create ourselves. The best we could do is to deceive ourselves into thinking that there was something worth living for.

It is my belief that one can only come to understand the meaning of life after they have come to master the simplicity of grammar and the simple structure of a sentence.
