Reality is in fact neither good nor bad, it is a very plastic inkblot sort of thing that can be bent and twisted in many directions depending on your beliefs. WHAT! you say? What about THE TRUTH? Well, that's a complicated question and it gets into the meaning of life bit that we haven't gotten to yet, but suffice it to say that what is REALLY going on is so strange, so complex, and so far beyond our everyday understanding, that it bears no relationship to what you think of as "reality", "truth", or "reason". Good and bad, happy and sad, these are notions that you are imposing on the world around you. But, more on that in part II of the Meaning of Life Page.
The answer to unhappiness is both liberating and infuriating, but here it is. Happiness doesn't depend on anything that has or has not happened in the past, nor does it depend on your future prospects (thank God, eh?). The simple fact is, in order to be happy:
Yep. Isn't that aggravating? You can't blame it on anyone else, and no one else can do a thing for you. You've just got to decide to be happy, whether or not your logical mind thinks it is rational to be happy and whether or not your moral sense thinks you deserve to be happy. You absolutely will not be happy for any length of time until you decide to, and if you decide to, you can be happy in the face of the most miserable circumstances.
Well thats how i see it ....Every one has a different opinion ...

There are no really satisfying answers to this question--life is just an emergent property of the universe. Individuals can claim that the meaning of life is to do good, contribute to the future or gather experience, but these are all individually-defined goals. The great "meaning of life" question seems to get at something much deeper--an absolute truth--but I reject the idea of anything deeper.

Apart from its biological and physiological implications, I think the essential meaning of life is the caring, concern and service for and to others. Life should not simply be the empty gratification of one's own desires.

I believe the meaning of life revolves around journey: journey through time discovering oneself and the world.

Making an impact, helping people. As of right now I want to show older people, older generations that just beacause I am young, doesn't mean that I can't make an impact

I don't think life requires a meaning. Simplicity is best. Happiness is what we all want. Generosity and kindness are essential.

17,m, i think that the meaning of life is to make change in the world and to be remembered. if you pass away and you have nothing to show for what you have done, and no one remembers you, i feel that you have not lived to your fullest.
