To live, and let others live, to die and let others die. All in peace.

I try to avoid complexities and intricacies of things in life, as I realise that there can be too much to take on board to keep things enjoyable and effective. I just want to live a simple life; but I also want my life to be useful, happy and with a clear purpose. How can I possibly be a simple life, and still purposeful and happy?
To search the answer to this question has at times been the entire purpose of my strife, And now, I have realised that life does not have it meanings tied to any one thing, person or even human action, for all these things would make but only parts of life in their on right. I can say, fo instance, that my children, my achievements, my intelligence or even just happiness has the entire meaningfulness of my life, but that answer will be too partial, too personal and also that of temporary significance; I might not feel or think th same about the same things tomorrow.
I therefore think, life reveals more of its meaningfulness through the kind of person we eventually become, or liek to become. I would say that I am a resilient person, I do not give up easily and that I am hardworking and honest fellow. Then I can say that the meanings of life is in trying the best you can at every step of the way. Doing just that would make any person realise that life at every stage can has different meanings, or different ways of its understanding. This way to live is to be a companion of life for life, a life of purpose, truth and happiness where each moment is a moment earned, claimed and enjoyed.

Can you describe a rainbow without colors? So you cannot describe life without meaning either. Life is replete with meaning. Everything you do counts. Every word you speak has is effect. Every thought that enters your mind lives eternally.
Your soul is the sum product of everything you do, every word you speak, and every thought that enters your mind. There is no such thing as a wasted prayer, or a fruitless love. Therefore take heed about how you nurture your soul. Seek truth, practice love and relish everything in this world that is beautiful.

It is sad that so many here thinks this question is a joke or that there is no meaning to life.
But applaud the person asking. Keep searching. If I told you my view (my religious view) you'll just think I a religious nut. So all I can say it continue to search. In the end you may or may not agree. But that's better than going through life without even trying to find a meaning to your existence.

The meaning of life is to fulfill the virtue of what is human.
What isn't the meaning of life is to not fulfill the virtue of what is human.
Now, we must find what the virtue of being human is. To fulfill what our potential as human beings is. Or, in other words, to discover the meaning of life, and apply it.
Do you see what happened? This is a circular question that cannot be answered until we agree on what happens to us after we die. The virtue of humanity looks much different to an atheist, a Christian, and Buddhist, a Muslim, and a Jew.

The meaning of life may be different to everyone. To some, it may be to learn more about God and then when we die, if we were good, we see him in Heaven. For others, the meaning of life may be to have a good time, live life up, and to enjoy yourself. It all depends on who you're talking to.

You create your own meaning to your life. Everyone has a different meaning to living their life.

Do you think God would be as bored as the rest of us and use his infinite knowledge to give away the mysteries of the universe just so he could get to level 7 on yahoo answers?
Go watch TV instead
