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.....

First of all, I am not going to talk about the meaning of the individual's life. I don't know the purpose of your life, nor do you know mine. I am going to talk about the meaning of life in general, ALL life.
In my opinion, this question is simple to answer, but it needs a good deal of explanation.
The meaning of life is to appreciate the beauty and wonder of existence. This includes love, knowledge and anything else related to them.
I try to tell people not to see life as even having a meaning. Try to think beyond life. We can experience the world. We can feel it. This is not really a meaning or a purpose, it is just what we do. And it is truly amazing and awe-inspiring.
However, there are many things going on in the world today that are not wonderful, but are truly horrorful. I have to also say that a part of the meaning of life is pain and struggle. That is life. Life needs things to survive, and sometimes living things initiate tragic events (and sometimes immoral or unethical events) to make this happen. Some are more fortunate than others. Its just the way things are at this moment in time.
Humanity may have an even greater meaning. Maybe it is our responsibility to correct these tragic and immoral events that occur in the world today. We certainly have the intelligence for it, but we may not have the desire or resources. Many world leaders should not be in office and should be replaced.
That's the short answer. For more, visit my web site...

I think the point of life is to find out who you are and change the world. Have a lasting impact, so that people can learn from your mistakes and take wisdom from your accomplishments.
