There is no search. The meaning is in the beauty of nature, the beauty of music, the beauty of love, the arts, the smile on children's faces, the connection that you feel with others... Open your heart and know you are beautiful. You are uniquely special for being on this planet. Your life is precious, as is all life. The meaning is in the journey through life, surrounded by beauty. Look toward the positive things. Without these, there would be no meaning. Love is the most important thing, as it makes the most sense. The more you love openly and freely, the more you will receive from others. I hope you are able to find meaning in this answer. :-)

here is how i think about it: something always has been, whether i can comprehend it or not. Either there is a creator or just substance. And from there, its like, can I honestly agree that substance and substance alone generated life? or that a creator generated life? based on that, and other things, i have come to the conclusion that there is a God. Then you have to ask, "why?" why did God create me or you or any of this? and this is where your question gets involved. the only way to find out what your purpose is is to ask God. and if there is no God, then there is no purpose. You are just information in a jumble of cells that lives to compete with other jumbles of cells and information and you can pretty much act accordingly, because you will be dust in 100 years or less. probably less.

Meaning of life....is to live as everyone did, till one day your body can't be capable to stay alive anymore. Sorry to say it, but you sound a little miserable. Life is in your hands. You control it. To be happy or not. Life has so many meanings. Is depend on your choice what should be happen. Use your imagination or dreams to get to a better life, if that you wish for.

Being alive means you arent dead...... That gives you alot of freedom over most.
When you worry too much about the meaning of life, its just proof that you dont have enough stress.
For some in many hospitals, the meaning of life is the next Cancer treatment to keep them alive for one more birthday to see a grandchild graduate highschool.
Don't question why you are here, question what others will say about you once you are gone.

The meaning of life is to be in service of life. You are to be a helping hand to others and to all things.

life is a learning process for the rest of thats what should be the most important you make mistakes and learn from them and life will be what you make of it if you want it to be full of drama then youll learn to be dramatic or find someone close that is if you want it to be relaxed then youll be an easy person to be with or around if you want it to be meaningfull then youll grab your life by the horns and make the most of it you wont sit there and wonder what happened or why you take your life and run with it and next thing you now youll be looking back at your life happy with what youve done with it as long as you always make it meaninful

the most logical explanation to that question applies to everything on this planet that has been produced by it.
it is to live. simply to survive. the underlying reason why anything or anybody does what it does at any time of any day. in the end every action performed by anything on this planet is to not die. animals and people are born with instincts to survive.
why do we care about global warming?
Why do we have death labels on poisonous items and cigarettes?
why do we instinctively eat solid food?
we were born with our meaning. its just to live. a human being is another collection of crap in this universe, just in organic (intelligent) ball of crap.
now we are living the result of billions of peoples decisions and mother natures obstacles and evolution, we are the only thing that has evolved enough to second guessing our existence.

meaning of life is to experience all the events and acts of the world, compare it with our knowledge & memory and come to the enlightenment that the real truth is beyond the senses mind and intellect.
Just think of in this way we have been trying to satisfy our wants of the senses since birth, has any till now been satisfied. As far as my knowledge goes NO!
THIS fact should enlighten us that the real should be beyond the mind, body and intellect.
THEN how to find the real truth?
As far as my knowledge goes we have to transend the body mind and intellect as these can contain only what we can describe with the mind, body and intellect, but god cannot be limited to this only. THUS TO KNOW HIM IN HIS COMPLETENESS, we have to transend the body mind and intellect.
This is taught to us in the spiritualty path.
The link to which is through our thoughts, which is influenced by our breath, So guiding our breath we should be able to transend.!!!

The meaning of life...is to live.
A tree lives but does it search for why it does?
Life is very simple, its what we do in it that is difficult.
Life is whatever happens, happens.
That is what the meaning of life is.
Hope I enlightened you.

No, you don't need to search for a meaning. Just enjoy having ice cream and sex, to name a few. That's its meaning. Been there, done that.
