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.....

The meaning of life..I feel that life is just a "holiday" on this earth, because we are more than flesh and bones eating,walking and talking. I think life is an experience we go through. What will be after, or what was before, we might know, just we dont realise. Or it simply might be nothing. And in this situation, life is a treat, a chance we have,the chance to feel the SOMETHING :) Chance to feel love,happines,sadness,sorrow,all are part from this and we need to accept them the way they are. If u think deep..doesnt matter the meaning of life as long as it gives us the chance to explore everything. so..enjoy exploring,like i do:)

Meaning of life is different for everyone. Some people are happy and some sad. It depends on what your outlook is and what you make of your life.

For me, listening to music, and the creation thereof, provides meaning and purpose to my life (employment's a close 3rd) for that it what I have chosen IT to be...
So...
Choose wisely, my son...

Just life. Life's purpose is life, it's cause, it's effect is life.
