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.....

Right now at this moment, finding an answer to this question is essentially the 'meaning' of your life. Thus life has meaning or you wouldn't ask the question. Therefore, the meaning of life is to question. And, why else does one ask questions other than to get right answers? So, your meaning in life is to find the right answers ;-) !

Life. What is the Meaning of Life? Life....Life....Life. People have so many opinions on this. But here is mine:
Life is not just breathing and spending your days. It is not waiting for death. Life is not about regret.
Life is about living. And when I say living I do not mean just breathing and walking and talking. I mean living.
I mean yelling across a mountain top just to hear words echo back to you.
I mean spreading your arms, getting bare feet, and dancing in the rain.
I mean sitting at a horizon and watching a sunset and letting all your days worries just dive away with that sun.
I mean singing at the top of your lungs without worrying if you sound good or bad.
I mean just running at full speed just 'cause.
I mean giving a destitute even a penny just to see a smile on their face.
I mean putting a big inspirational grin from your heart on your face even through moments of depression.
I mean putting a smile on those faces that are filled with sadness or wet with tears.
So, my friend, what is life? Life is simply living. But living for this world. There is so much sadness, melancholy, hate, sorrow, pain, and agony in this world. It wouldn't hurt to just get up in the morning and put a smile on your face. And think....that today...today...I'll live for this world. Today I'll dance in the rain just 'cause. Today I'll sing in a crowd just 'cause. Today I'll say hello to everyone I see just 'cause. Just 'cause there is enough sadness in this world...and maybe, just maybe, if I can put a smile on my face and cheer someone else up...AKA live for this world....maybe, just maybe, There will be some...a little bit of less sadness and melancholy in this world. Maybe...Just Maybe.
There you go, that's my opinion. Life is living for this world and without a reason. Just living for this world....just 'cause. Just cause you want to lessen that sadness that weighs this world down.

It can be small topic start from wombs...but this is general knowlege...big topic...but general...they say human origin from apes.....this is old fashion now!! The new concept is before death non living earth turn to living earth...where life comes from? there must be an impact from outer space to earth bring in some life elements....that's why earth become alive...so human beings appear...but where we come from??
outer space? this is funny..yet it could be true!!
The present news is mars prove that there was ocean in many many many many years... if there is ocean...life should be found...but where are they?????
So...study earth history......look back those lost civilization buried underneath cover by sand and even the land we stand now.....this is a big study...and never end study....
I like it..I love it...and I enjoy to know and hear more...

The real question is: what do you want your life to mean?

Science prooves that life is a random event through generation, evolution and reproduction. Religion and faith only conflict this idea. There is proof of science, there is no proof of religion. Therefore there is no meaning to life.

It's love. everyone and everyghing is loved at some point of their lives, no matter how big or small the amount may be. Even babies who die while they are still in the womb, the mother is most likely going to have an attatchment to them.
