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.....

David -
"To be who you are and become who you are capable of becoming is the ONLY end of life." We all long for full or eternal "aliveness." Nothing else will provide happiness. Awareness of being alive is the starting point. Asking the question, Why am I here, comes next. If you seek the answer, eventually you will remember why you came by rediscovering what you love; your passions. Reuniting with that true Self is the only worthwhile goal and may be extremely difficult if your learned ego is blatantly at odds with the real you. But, it's worth the effort.

Meaning of life is to realize the great potential you have (no, not the money you can earn or degree you can get)
You are like an acorn, you can grown to be a big tree where birds can make their nests and squirrels play all day long. The tree will make a great shadow for a hardworking lumbar jack who come to cut down the tree, and will make oxygen to let all the animal and insect to breathe to the last moment given to it.
Would you let the acorn rot? Or try to grow your tree?

the meaning of life is ever changing for each person. At any particular moment it will be different than the day before. In my opinion, the basic purpose of life is to find out what makes us happy, and find a way to do it without hurting anyone else in the process. Find out what makes you want to wake up in the morning. "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how"-Sartre

There was a prophet whose called Nouh. He lived on the life more than thousand years.
Before he died He said: THE LIFE IS A HOUSE HAS TOW DOORS, I ENTERED FOR A DOOR AND EXITED FROM THE OTHER.
This is the life simply.
