The meaning of life is both profound and simple.
It answers the order of creation, the motive of existence and the mystery of the universe to ourselves.
The meaning of life is:
Awareness Loves Life (A-L-L)
See: http://ucadia.org/uca/u23/230600.htm
Unfortunately, because we are life, we see the statement as
Life Loves Awareness (L-L-A).
But if you were able to comprehend just one thought of the universe from its perspective, then you'd see that the greatest expression of existence is life- that the key to life is existence.
That living is more important than knowing everything.
For example, there is a wonderful quote from buddhism-
before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water;
after enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.
Sadly, we sometimes are mistaken in believing that if we knew everything, our lives would be better. I can assure you that is not the case. Living is what counts.
All the very best.

Life has no meaning without God, the creator of life. If there is no God, then the question should be "what are we to do about this feeling that we all have that our lives should mean something". Without God, feelings are the total substance of everything we think good and noble and worth living for.
Christians believe that feelings are not the reality but rather point to God and that God is the reality.
People who don't believe in God think that feelings point to little shots of "feel-good" drugs provided by some biological mechanism developed by mindless evolution.

The meaning of life is to love worship and serve God acording to the bible. But I say that the meaning of life is however you spend your life doing what you love.

life depends on the person.Life on this earth is just a preparation for the next life or the so called, eternal life with God, so if you are a christian all you will do in this in life are good things that can please the father in heaven to achieved eternal life, if you are not christian you wouldn't care.

We are here for God's pleasure and for His purposes. God created you the way that no one is exactly like you. So no one else will be able to do the job God designed you for. : )
